We win 55-0 and then they drop us two spots in the poll.

WTF?

See my post on another thread:

New AP poll. Being objective as possible I don't have a problem with Texas dropping. I might even ranked the 3-4 teams ranked right after Texas ahead of Texas. I have no problem with OU ahead of Texas. BUT, OU getting one first place vote?!!! They beat Auburn on an illegal play per SEC officials.

Does Kirk still vote? LOL

Pollster abusing drugs I would guess.

Freshman Edge Smith Orogbo (86.2) was the highest graded defensive player on the night, per OTF

Let OU be rated above Texas. I hope Texas goes into the OU game as the underdog as well. All that matters is beating the team in front of you and things will work themselves out.

I agree with everything you wrote. I just found it puzzling someone voted them as #1 team in the country. As we all know, games are won on the field, not in the media. Ask USC about being voted the best college team ever and what happened on the field with Vince and company.

Absolutely agree. OU should not receive a 1st place vote at all. Whoever did that was high. I like it though. Much prefer the Horns being overlooked and dismissed right now. Hated that they were #1 to start.

The only time rankings matter is at the end of the season. Until then, it's just click bait.

The only thing a team can do is beat the team you play. Everything will take care of itself in the end.
