I didn't think Texas would be ranked after the OU beat down.

Florida dropped out.

It's absurd. Coaches and Media just give them every benefit of their reputation from many years ago. In reality, if they never had Vince Young the program would have been an afterthought for the last 25 years.

 

I was hoping they wouldn't. :dis:

 

Currently, Texas's signature win is.....Iowa State?

 

If you only consider the last two seasons then yes.

 

I don't agree with that. How could FLA drop out and aTm still be ranked? At least Florida lost to the two best teams in the country.

"Not just the Gators—the entire state. For the first time since Dec. 6, 1982, no Sunshine State team was among the AP rankings on Sunday, marking the end of 472 straight polls where either Florida, Florida State or Miami—and usually all three—were on the list."
