Coaches Poll VOL Up 2 Spots

Personally, I'll be interested in seeing if USC jumped Michigan in the BCS.....I'm sure they did....There was just a razor thin margin between those two teams

So Tennessee and Texas are both 9-3. Tennessee losses include a 1 pt loss to #4 UF, a last second 4 pt loss to #5 LSU and a road loss to #8 Arkansas. On the other hand, Texas, who is ranked 2 spots higher, loses to #1 Ohio State, unranked Kansas St, and #24 Texas A&M. Can anyone explain the logic here?

I don't agree with it, but 5 Words.

Defending National Champion Texas Longhorns.

I can explain it. They are a better team. If you have any doubts, watch the replay of the game Saturday...

They will.

I also predict Tennessee will be the highest rated 3 loss team and FINALLY be ranked ahead of Cal.

We are ranked ahead of Cal in the Coach's Poll....I hope it comes out in the AP and BCS that we are too....I just don't see how they get that high because my god, we spanked them in September....I guess its not who you lose to, but when you lose

Did any of ya'll hear last night during the ND game that the computer polls like the PAC-10 as the toughest conference in the country? What a joke

I heard that and I laughed. I don't really understand the computer ranking stuff, but I'd really like to know what the computers rate so high in their formula that puts the PAC-10 at the top.

The Teams sent to Bowls should be an indication of conference strength, and they don't jibe with the computer polls.

That's exactly what I did....I really thought they were going to come on there with a big punch line or something but I waited and waited and there was no punchline LOL......I'd like to know the explanation to that as well...There is no way that the PAC-10 is the best conference in the country

I took a look around at all the computer polls sites to see what they ranked the conferences. They're all over the damn place. One says SEC, One says Big 10, One says PAC-10, one says Big East.

It's about silly. Basically, ESPN decided to take 1 of the polls conference ratings and run with it. Pure bias.

Yeah, they've always had a love affair with the PAC-10 for some odd reason....And it's almost ridiculous....For a long time it used to be with the schools from Florida....If you were in the state of Florida, or played a team from the state of Florida you didn't matter...Now it's the PAC-10....with the exception of Ohio State....It's almost pathetic

Considering they are the only unbeaten.....

2 weeks ago they had Rutgers in front of them.

yeah, just looked back, they've been ranked 1 or 2 every week, cept Week 1 and Week 5, when they were #3. Even then, they were only .02 out of 2nd.

There is no way Tennessee can compete with Texas. I wish we didn't play each other. I just wished we could handle a relatively weak one, like PSU to end our season, and then come back next season. God forbid us playing anyone tough to embarrass ourselves.
