[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 2480664, member: 3528"] 1) I have no idea if a bigger brand Big 12 team or ND or whoever would have been treated the same as we were. I like to think that they would have been, see Auburn in 2004 for a good example, but ultimately we'll never know. 2) We were ranked the penultimate week due to what our resume was up until that point. After the final weekend, both FSU and Ohio State had another ranked win on their schedule, while we lost one (OU went to unranked after losing Bedlam). Baylor beat Kansas State, both improving their schedule, hurting ours, and bringing a more direct H2H comparison between the two (though ultimately it didn't really matter in the end). We played one of the worst teams in FBS, though admittedly we throttled them so that probably didn't do anything either way. All of that changed the resumes of those teams. What we learned is that this isn't the BCS where the ratings are sticky, and you only really move down if you lose. [/QUOTE]
