I never said beating them didn’t matter... I said they were as poorly coached as us if not more so, and had every chance to win the game. I think I know what point you’re making but you’re doing an extremely poor job.
To add, your argument is implicitly false if you believe week 2 rankings = week 10 rankings. Week 2 is purely based off speculation and extrapolating past performance into future success. Past performance leads to no indication of present or futures success; and in this case, to be frank texas hasn’t been good since 2009 so that extrapolation is highly non-correlated at best to be deserving of a top 10 ranking other than pure hype. Furthermore, week 10 rankings are purely based off a body of work and consistency every week to be in the top 10. Let’s face it we squeezed out a win against a team that needed a miracle to beat Texas tech. With that said, I don’t think they’re very good, but I don’t think either team really showed up in this sloppy grotesque game of abundant penalties.
It’s nice to beat Texas every year and it’s a good win, but this team doesn’t look that good and neither does texas. Let’s enjoy the win but there are significant deficiencies within this team. I don’t know if this is responding to your quote because I still don’t think it makes sense but I did my best...
