Wow...Boise is ranked ahead of Houston still? Wtf?

 

[govols120]

To be fair, their schedule >>>>> Houston's. Houston's best opponent is a UCLA team that's likely to finish 6-6.

 

[Il Principo]

SEC West is ridiculous. And we had to play all three of those teams. Yikes.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Wait, UCLA can still go to the Rose Bowl. That's a dang impressive schedule.

But but but fire Dooley! He lost!

 

[allvol123]

The SEC is very average this year but the top 2, Bama and LSU are top notch. Reserving my opinion on Arkansas.

 

[KingNick865]

Wasn't Baylor ranked #22 before they beat Oklahoma? I thought they'd at least be in the high teens.

 

[TOP]

What's wrong with Stanford over Oklahoma State and Boise State? Iowa State is a terrible loss and Pac12 is better than MWC. Aside from Virginia Tech and Houston, everyone else has like two losses. No problem with the Stanford ranking personally. VT is the only one that should have a complaint.

But yeah, Boise State at 7 is stupid.

Heck, Michigan beat Nebraska by 28 and moved up one spot. I don't know, this season gets more ridiculous and insane each week.

They also got curb stomped by us, so yeah...22 is about right.

 

[DarthVisor]

I didn't think we'd be ranked ahead of Clemson going into the Palmetto Bowl. Ha.

13, 14, 3, 2, 1. 5 of our 6 losses. Makes you wonder why teams want to come to the SEC (other than being in the Best conference ever). Texas A&M is in for a world of hurt next year.

22 Was their BCS ranking.

They were at 25 in this poll last week

They were 25 in the AP last week. (said in another post 22 was their BCS ranking)

 

[LittleCat]

A couple strange ones.

Boise at 7th?
Houston at 8th?
Oregon>USC?
Baylor at 21st?
Mich. St at 11th?

My thoughts exactly! Do they think it will get easier moving to the SEC?!?! I think it's all about TV revenue.

The whole reason UK takes a beating every year. They need $$.

Surprisingly, UK earns 70 million in football every year.

I wonder how Boise feels right now? They would for sure be #2 at this point had they had a kicker.

The thing about Boise...is that they dont have SoS. They must win out to even be considered for a NC. But,one little slip-up and they drop like crazy. Now if LSU or Bama lose 1, then they still okay.

Thats what I dont like conferences.
