[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 3220958, member: 72863"] Agree for the most part with all of this. And I honestly don't know how much it [U]really[/U] matters whether a team is ranked #23 or just outside the poll, I guess it would go as another win over a ranked team which is supposedly a big deal but it's not an all-or-nothing game. You're not going to give one team a material edge because they beat #25 and the other one beat #26, so all the "wins over ranked teams" stuff is just another thing for people to talk about and post charts about. I mean, in the case of Baylor and Texas, I'm pretty sure we're getting some props for winning those games because I think they realize those are pretty good teams that we beat on the road, regardless of where they were ranked when we played them. And probably not getting much credit for struggling to beat "ranked at the time" Kansas" or "Top 10 or whatever at the time" Oklahoma State. All things considered I think our ranking is very fair. All this angst over Michigan being one spot ahead of us is dumb anyway. If they were #4 and we were #3 and we both win our games this week, next week we are going to still be #3 and they'll be #2........in the same place we'd be anyway. Barring us really struggling with Iowa State and USC winning convincingly over Notre Dame or something, then I guess they could keep us at #4 but I doubt that. [/QUOTE]
