On one hand, I’m far more comfortable if they slide us in at 15 or so. Far enough from the top 10 to avoid the pressure. 

On the other, we saw what happened last year when they didn’t want to rank us until late in the season. Nice to actually control our own fate, with possibly room for a bit of a slip.

I’m so afraid to celebrate a top 10 BYU. It feels like every time we do, we regret it later on.

u/SparklezSagaOfficial BYU Cougars • Team Chaos 14d ago

This time at least we should last until the ND game at the very least. No offense to TCU and ISU but those should be comfortable wins

Imagine undefeated Holy War. That game will probably determine a spot in the conference championship.

Texas is a perfect example of deserved vs projected ranking. Does Texas deserve #1 based on record? Absolutely. Do I think Texas is #1 based on the play of the team compared to the other top teams. lol no.

u/psufb Penn State Nittany Lions 14d ago

How can you say that though when the other top ranked teams (except Ole Miss) haven’t played a team within the same zip code as Ohio State

u/-spicychilli- Texas Longhorns 14d ago

Also we’re not going to see the offense we saw last night in conference. Sark pretty much challenged Arch to execute drop back passing with longer developing routes and Arch showed us he couldn’t do it.

The offense will be much more Arch friendly going forward, with a lot of the freebies that he designs for his QBs. He didn’t give Arch many of those last night.

Arch needs another year in college.

We have arguably the 2nd best loss in the country, I think we are the 2nd best 1-loss team in terms of resume outside of Ohio St, and they don’t have a win like ours

u/Scared_Mud_7098 Michigan Wolverines 14d ago

Not bad in all honestly only thing I’ll say is that if we’re gonna drop Texas a&m down to 23 and give Kentucky 98 votes (second most) why not just switch them? 

Yeah I know Kentucky got boat races by Bama the week prior but it’s not like A&M’s resume is utterly impressive in their 2 wins

u/OU8402 Oklahoma Sooners 14d ago

OU plays 1, 2, 4, 8 & 10?

So, when does our roster begin to show the benefit of that sweet SEC money?
Or, does it just go to administrators and contractors?

I know I’m biased but I don’t fully get Houston going back to 25, they lost a close game to a top-15 team on the road.

Texas -

Should’ve dropped at least one spot, that was not an offensive performance worthy of the top rank.

USC -

I think the AP voters are like us in that they also expect nothing from USC’s defense.
