I get not having us ranked, but not a single vote in the coaches' poll? A bit odd.

A 4-2 Tulane is getting votes while we don't.

OU and Texas have 17 of the 28 Big 12 football titles




Peculiar way to phrase that.

How many, of those 17, does Texas have?

Well you can legally buy players now. Instead of illegally. So the teams that follow the rules are now on top. Texas/Army/Navy

Bama stays at 7. Make it make it make sense.


Power of the brand. You wouldn't understand.

But no one has mentioned Notre Dame DROPPING a spot after thrashing Stanford?

Weird poll.

Oregon should be number one. That was a stacked professional Ohio State team. And Ohio State is in football hell because this was the only tough game they had on their entire schedule and they choke. $20 million dollar roster. lol

Army and Navy are both ranked

I wonder how many years it's taken for that to happen since the last time

frick SMU is ranked

Who would have ever thought that lol!
Vandy whips SMU by 10 points in my opinion.
ND dropping????

The polls are based on whomever X team plays vs another X team that is also ranked but in reality either they shouldn’t be or are ranked too high but it makes for more eyeballs.

Ole Miss loses in OT on the road and drops 10 spots. Bama is a 21 pt favorite to Vandy and loses via the mercy knee. They only fall 6 spots. Then the following week at home Bama is -22 against South Carolina and squeak out a 2 pt win because USC qb handed them the game. Bama stays at 7. Make it make it make sense.

2 losses to 1, genisu

So many in the Top 10 that will not be there after 3 weeks including several SEC teams.

Oregon is the legit #1. Those were two true top 5 teams that battled it out. Most proven team this year so far.
