Smoo could land in the #23-25 spot, unless traditional power biases rule with 1-loss teams.

With so many losses in the top 25, it makes sense but does UT really deserve to be ahead of us when TCU had a chance to win and the margin was smaller? Oh well have to deal with their notoriety, for whatever reason, getting the bias.

We beat USF better than Florida or BYU, and beat TCU better than UT. But all of those teams will be ranked ahead of us. even though Florida has 2 losses and UT lost to a team that got smoked by Georgia. I bet A&M stays ranked even.

Yeah it sucks but they probably know that these voters are writers and those writers don't want to [deleted] off any of their local and national fanbases. Hopefully they're knocked out next week and A&M is unranked. Yay!

Glad we got ranked, but it isn't a conspiracy theory. Just that only 150K watched our game against TCU and I bet very few were actual media. Nobody in the media has actually seen us play this year.

Could have been worse had RR not tried to plant the flag. The added exposure of the postgame amplified the fact that we won over TCU considerably.
