Indeed.

Though Houston's 31-24 win over State in Starkville moved them up from unranked to #23 in the land. Beating State counts for a lot in the polls!

The week prior to beating State, Houston lost to UTEP by a 58-41 count, dropping Houston out of the polls. That UTEP team went on to finish the season 4-8. Houston had been ranked #12 prior to the UTEP loss because they beat #5 Oklahoma State in week 2 -- the only ranked team Houston played that season.

But hey -- let's talk more about how epicly awesome the 2009 Houston Cougars were with their 10-4 record.

Beats talking about State's incredibly awesome chances at going 10-2 this coming season.
