And the Coach's Poll continues to screw them. UH should be ahead of Oklahoma St. in any ranking as far as I am concerned.

Why is Boise number 5 and Houston 12? I guess the Oregon win looks more impressive now?

I have never thought Andy Dalton was anything but average but he really never hurts his team. As much as I hate to admit it-TCU just may deserve the ranking they have right now.

TCU has earned that rank after years of success on the football field and having gone on the road to beat UVA and Clemson already. I'm anxious to see whether we can compete with what many believe is the 10th best team in the country.

SMU +28 is the early line for Saturday game. Thoughts from the pony fans on an SMU cover? I'm not sure
