Texas has ANOTHER open date this week, and then get a terrible KU team. That win will jump them way up in the polls, so they will have a SLOW decent, with every following loss.

Dude they lost to two top 4 teams. We lost to 18

Mack Brown's days at that school in Austin that shall remain nameless by me are numbered, too.

nope. a NC buys a coach 10 years. takes boosters a decade to forget. it's a proven fact.

and really, i think they've proven what their priority is. Money. as long as they're making as much as they are now, mack is going to be deloss' 1st mate.

Sort of interesting, Top 35 BCS:
NEW BIG EAST - 4. Boise, 15. WVU, 19. Houston, 29. Rutgers, 32. SMU, 34. Cincinnati.
NEW ACC - 7. Clemson, 12. Va Tech, 22. Ga Tech.

Why? Is he retiring?

He and Bob have more job security than anyone coach in America.

they will make up for it with pitt and 'cuse

I kind of like that we're already pulling our weight.

How is Baylor ranked ahead of us? The best team they have beaten is Iowa State, and they have cooled off considerably. (and note how I consider Iowa State a better team than TCU this year)

Larry Coker?

cheating scandals apply different pressures from academia, not boosters.

Well played!

It's awfully nice to look at that list and see SMU ranked at No. 32, ahead of the likes of:

Florida (33)
Ohio State (38)
TCU (39)
Texas Tech (40)
Florida State (43)
BYU (46)
Tulsa (47)
Syracuse (48)
Iowa (51)
Utah (52)
Miami (55)
UCLA (56)
Tennessee (58)
Pitt (61)
UConn (81)
North Texas State (89)

I still don't understand why Texas is ranked inn the top 25 and we are not. Texas lost to two top 25 teams. We are 1-1 against top 25 teams. In order to get in the two 25 should we have lost to TCU? Then we could claim as many loses to top 25 teams as ranked Texas.

shorthorns suck and always will!

Based on the Texas logic, should Tulsa be ranked since they last to the same teams Texas has lost too plus #4 Boise? If losing to Top 25 teams is so important to the rankings, then Tulsa definitely belongs in the Top 25.
