If you open the season against Mississippi State, Arkansas, and Ole Miss 0-3 and go 29-5 since then with a sweep of a very good South Carolina team. That's pretty darn good. Yes they lost 2-0 to A & M. But lets not judge that series until after next weekend. We may not get out of there without a loss.
I do my part. Sorry not a dick. I just dont understand our fan base tends to always find a way to try and justify why others are ranked or why we arent ranked higher. I'm just the type that says let your actions on the field make your statement. If they deserve the ranking come playoff times or not. Their game on the field will decide.I feel like we all owe you a debt of gratitude. Thanks for bringing so much to the table. You really carried this thread.

I think that’s kind of the point he’s making. TX is 7-5 vs top 50 teams; we’re 14-8. We have more top 50 wins than they even have games played. We have a 67% winning % against SEC opponents, they’re at 43% in 7 games vs. the SEC. Many think our actions on the field (i.e. quality wins) justify being ranked ahead of TX. But as 66 said, tradition/brand bias is no doubt in effect in these polls.I do my part. Sorry not a dick.
