Shrug. If it is swell. Just seems like they got some ex-BCS guy to cook up some numbers so they could be out with them first. And if you're going to be releasing the rankings on Monday and that's your rule. . .why let someone like FOX release them early?

Normally I'd just say ok, but these numbers seem WAY off. Auburn got blown-out by an unranked Arkansas team and they're ahead of West Virginia, Louisville, and us? Insane....

Just tired of little children trying to talk mess and then getting all uppity even when I'm not trying to slap them back down.

Totally our own fault for not winning against Ohio State.

However, there's a lot of football left to be played. Title game looks like a definite reach now, but if we win out we're in a BCS game for sure which will be fine by me. Just don't understand how a team like Notre Dame. . .who barely beat Michigan State and who got destroyed by a team ranked lower than the one that beat the Horns is ahead of us. Doesn't make just a heck of a lot of sense to me.

Yea I would understand if they lost to Iowa State, but having their only lose to the #1 team in the nation is crazy! I mean Aubrun's only lose was to UNRANKED Arkansas. and ND only lose was to UNRANKED Michigan State!! This is system needs to be out!! Now it's very unlikely they'll make it!!

Were you trying to make a point here?

Auburn got donkeystomped by an unranked Arkansas team AT HOME by guess what? 17 points.

Notre Dame hasn't done jack this season except get donkeystomped AT HOME by Michigan who is below Ohio State.

Florida just got beat and they're above us by a bit.

The system is screwy.

I do agree with you tho. . .let things play out. By the end of the season things will probably have completely changed. However, that still doesn't change the fact that the system is kinda crap. Haven't people been saying that since the BCS was instated???

Texas was done the min. Vince Young went to the draft. HE WAS THE DIFFERENCE MAKER ON THE UT SQUAD! UT always has a GOOD team, but they are back to where they were a few years back.....just that....a GOOD TEAM, nothing more. They'll win the Big 12 and get a decent bowl bid, but they will not be national champs. (or even play for the champ. for that matter) Vince Young was the difference maker that got them there last year, and hes no longer there. period. UT will not play for a national championship this year.

Teams I feel have a shot:

Ohio State
USC
Louisville
etc.

I have no idea. They struggled with the Syracuse Orange for an entire half of football and threw about 3 passes the entire game.

I also never said a damn thing about the BCS before today. I was going off the AP/Coaches poll as I've always done talking about which teams might beat other teams, etc. and so forth.

In fact, not a thing has changed with the BCS rankings coming out. The teams ahead of Texas can still lose. . .the polls can still shift. . .and teams can still make up ground.

Texas still has an outside shot at the title game and if they win out is still going to a BCS bowl.

Now, are you going to challenge me to another real life fight or are we done here?

KTJ

It's really shallow that for some of you, the best time in your life is when UT doesn't do something. Or you act as if your life is whole and complete making fun of anything related to The University of Texas.

I really, really, really don't understand why some of you just love to hate on UT and will, at any moments notice, seize the opportunity to point out how Texas is going to/should/or has failed. Can someone here just please, shed some light on why it just makes you giddy inside when UT doesn't get something?

We win the Big 12 and we're going to a BCS bowl. We won a national championship last year. People keep saying that we only won because of a certain person. The overall, and bottom line, however, is that WE WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Does it matter how it was won?

Because for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. Basically it boils down to how UT fans in general like to remind everyone else each time UT does something good/great. Like beat their team and rub it in, etc. It can be compared to how people from other states view Texans as a whole. Generally we are disliked because of our loud and proud attitude about being Texan. The same can be said about UT fans as a whole. When UT is good...you hear about it, when theyre not so good, you still hear about how good they are. "well we still beat your team" kinda thing. It's not really that I care if they do or dont make a repeat at the Natl Champ. game, I'm just saying they won't. Calling it how I see it is all. Another reason could be how quick UT fans as a whole are to become defensive and get bent outa shape about the fact that when UT isnt up to par, others point it out....just as UT fans will continously point out that A&M or TT just isn't up to par, etc. (All loyal fans are guilty of this though in some degree) What goes around comes around, and the more UT fans toot their horns and become defensive and what have you....the more they will be kicked when they are down by non-Longhorn fans. thats just the nature of the beast.

Yeah, I figured the BCS would come out pretty close to what the AP/Coches poll would. Also, they had so called "Experts" running their own predictions of what the BCS rankings would say and they predicted Texas to be #5. So why wouldn't I think the same thing?

You are ABSOLUTELY correct on the running the ball part. Pat White and Slaton are INSANE carrying the ball. They also aren't playing anyone of note so far. Usually against mediocre to bad competition you work on things that you don't do very well. In WVU's case that would be throwing the ball. Instead, they decided to run up the score by running all over a pathetic Orange defense. What happens when they meet a team with a good run D? One dimensional teams don't usually survive in high school, much less college.

I could care less about some guy with his panties in a wad. I'm definitely out to make all sorts of friends (that'll I'll never meet by the way) on an internet message board. I'm just CRUSHED that he doesn't like me because he made a lame joke and I made an equally lame retort. I'm not bent out of shape over it. . .why should he be?

Also. . .read the thread. mmwynn or w/e his name is got ticked over nothing and started throwing around words like ignorant which are a bit too big for him. I didn't start any fights here. So why are you?

So, again. Are we done here or do you want to debate on something else? The Steelers are whipping KC like a red-headed step child so I don't have anything going on for a bit.

Very fair assessment. However, are you suggesting that TT or ATM fans wouldn't be hooting and hollering if they were Natty Champs, etc. and so on?

As you said. . .that's the nature of the beast. The team on top and their fans get to talk trash, the teams on bottom don't.

Like I've said before. . .this is VERY VERY VERY calm and peaceful compared to other message boards with college football fans. Go read Orangebloods, TexAgs, etc. and you'll see some real insanity. UT fans (me and other Horn fans on 3aDL included) aren't any worse or better than Aggie, Red Raider, or any other college fan.

Personally, I blame it all on Phil with his propaganda machine rolling out every UT victory in every UT sport.;)

Auburn may have a worse loss on their record, but how many better wins does UT have?

If the Horns had already beat two top-five teams, then I could understand your argument. Auburn has. In the pollsters' eyes right now, they don't know where UT should be ranked. Sure, they beat a pretty good OU squad soundly, but most of them still don't know how they would fare against the elite teams.

I firmly believe that if they were in the SEC, they'd lose no more than three games and would have already proven that they belong right there with LSU, Auburn, and Florida. Unfortunately, the only game UT has played against a marquee team was a matchup in which you felt like the other team controlled the game. That's all the pollsters have to go on so you can't blame them (and the computer polls) for not ranking them higher.

Does UT deserve to be ranked #9? Definitely not, but don't try to tell me that they're better than Auburn because the only team to whip them was the #1 team in the nation. And don't bring that weak "everyone else but the Big XII is overrated" junk on here. tOSU is the best team in the nation. Louisville and WVU are the two most underrated teams in the nation. And the SEC is the best conference in the nation.

All the pollsters can see it. That's why Auburn is fourth. With or without the loss.

But it looked like KTJ was asking why people were down on UT and saying theyre not going to repeat. I wasnt bashing UT, I was just expressing my belief that they will not repeat. That's where (and not just UT fans) fans tend to take certain things said as direct attacks on "their teams" when in fact it is just someone saying "hey...yall kicked tail last year, but I dont think yall have what it takes to do it again" to use your word...its my "accessment" of what I've seen this year out of UT so far. Theyre good no doubt, but not good enough I dont think. To be TOTALLY honest w/ you though, I personally think the Big 12 as a whole is down this year. Hell....for THAT matter, Football in general is turned on its ear this year when you got:

*Chicago Bears as a Super Bowl contender
*New Orleans Saints beating Philly and 5-1 on the year
*Rice kicking the crap out of people including an Army team that ALMOST beat A&M and DID beat Baylor

*UofH beats OK State and SHOULD have beat Miami
*Sinton NOT winning D30-3A
*Ingleside beating Zapata

I could go on and on, this is a strange Football year!!

Yeah, I agree. I wasn't arguing so much with them being above Texas, but more with them being at #4.

I don't care how good you are. Losing at home by 17 to an unranked team is losing at home by 17 to an unranked team. Great teams don't take a week off.

Also. . .do you mean that West Virginia and Louisville are the two most OVERRATED teams in the NCAA? Because they're both undefeated and if they were underrated then that means they should be ranked above the 1 loss Tigers.

Go back and check the UT vs. Baylor thread. I said there and I'll say it again here. . .our team doesn't deserve the title game. We've been getting better, but our defensive backfield is just too shaky. We were missing Marcus Griffin and Tarrel Brown and Baylor went hog wild with the passing game.

We still do have an outside shot at the title game, but we'd be backdooring our way in and I don't think we'd be the 2nd best team. I still see us winning out and getting a BCS bowl tho. If it is against Notre Dame, West Virginia, or some team like that I like our chances of winning.

We'll definitely see how things go next week. We'll be in a hostile environment against a good team and missing some key players.

If you think about it, Texas' chances of moving up are fairly good...

...Ohio St vs Michigan - loser will drop
...West Virginia vs Louisville - loser will drop, winner might not have that good of a chance either
...Notre Dame vs USC - loser will drop, if Notre Dame wins, they will not go as high as the #2 spot that USC is at right now
...Florida still has to get through the rest of the SEC (@ Georgia & @ Florida State)
...Auburn has Georgia and plays @ Alabama...
...and all the teams still have to win their conference championship games
...I think if Texas wins out, they'll be playing for back to back's.....

Naturally the team on top gets bragging rights. But it looked like KTJ was asking why people were down on UT and saying theyre not going to repeat. I wasnt bashing UT, I was just expressing my belief that they will not repeat. That's where (and not just UT fans) fans tend to take certain things said as direct attacks on "their teams" when in fact it is just someone saying "hey...yall kicked tail last year, but I dont think yall have what it takes to do it again" to use your word...its my "accessment" of what I've seen this year out of UT so far. Theyre good no doubt, but not good enough I dont think. To be TOTALLY honest w/ you though, I personally think the Big 12 as a whole is down this year. Hell....for THAT matter, Football in general is turned on its ear this year when you got:

*Chicago Bears as a Super Bowl contender
*New Orleans Saints beating Philly and 5-1 on the year
*Rice kicking the crap out of people including an Army team that ALMOST beat A&M and DID beat Baylor

*UofH beats OK State and SHOULD have beat Miami
*Sinton NOT winning D30-3A
*Ingleside beating Zapata

I could go on and on, this is a strange Football year!!

I totally agree with you man.

My one thought about this is that both of these teams will still play Pitt and Rutgers and that will definitely help boost their standing in the computers. Also, Rutgers is getting a lot of respect from the voters as a legit team so it will make it an even better "win" for WVU and Louisville.
