I dont like ND but they beat 2 ranked teams on the road easy. They should be ranked higher.

 

If LSU had started the season unranked and beat an obviously overranked Pitt team and a slightly overrated UM team, we would be ranked about 17th...lower than Michigan. It's a fact of life, some teams get brownie points for tradition and popularity among the voters.

 

I know to check the Coach's poll at USATODAY.com when I want it eaorly on Sunday, but where do you get the AP poll?

espn, cfn, cnnsi, foxsports, athlon, etc have not yet updated the rankings for either poll yet. . .

 

Texas beats #4 ranked team, Condoms idle and Texas loses 2 1st place votes?

 

Why would you be surprised?

This kind of thing has always happened in college football.
It NEVER has made any sense just like the top 25 rankings at the beginning
of the year.

How about all the polls out there that rank the teams and many of them
don't agree.

Then there is no playoff system, some conferences have championship games while others don't.

It all makes as much sense as your question, let the NCAA or congress get
a hold of anything and your guaranteed to have a disaster on your hands.

Lets not forget about the NCAA and the attack on the mascots recently! :dis:

 

as long as we are #3, all we need to do is win and get one small dose of help...

I like our chances!

 

let's see...PITT, they lost to OHIO this week.

good team there, that PITT

 

If we don't fix Teppers defense then we won't be going too far. I'm afraid it's too late to fix it. We will have to hope we can outgun the opposing offense.

 

I dont think the first post is correct. Everywhere I have looked is showing Texas with 8 first place votes, so they actually picked up 4.
