Who thinks this is fair? TCU should have been ranked this week.

It matters because ranked teams get talked about by national media. I’d say that’s pretty important for any brand. Getting exposure to national audiences for 6-7-8 weeks is better than 2-3 weeks.does it really matter?
if frogs are 5-1 or 6-1 latter this year and unranked you might have an argument, but fair and unfair? sounds a bit like sam after the game yesterday

And furthermore, if you are unranked, beat a top ten team and you don’t even crack top 25, it’s further evidence of how the system is flawed. Regardless of how overrated Texas is to begin with. System is scheissed.
Doesn’t change why it matters. Lots of things have changed. Time for that to as well.texas gets conversation based upon eyes no different than dallas gets talked about on the sunday pregame shows
the system has been this way for decades and part of that early season ranking was texas for two years in a row winning a bowl game in a dominant manner, returning a senior quarterback, the other talent, and their recruiting classes
tcu came into this system after two straight losing seasons in conference play, questions on offense, questions on defense, and a roster that looked to be at least a year away
have no idea who is good and who isn't right now, but i wouldn't say tcu is one of the best teams i have seen to date this year

For all those thinking just win and it takes care of itself, go read the front page of espns college page.
They are already trying to write the Big xii off.
This is exactly why it matters.
Lsu goes from 3 or so to #20 Because they lost to an unranked msu. Who then gets Ranked, along with Lsu. Only to turn around and lose to Ark who has a 30 game sec losing streak.
The sec constantly is propped up in the polls so they can trumpet sec strength.
Another example, tenn beats two crappy teams and goes from unranked to 14.
I read in the paper that the Fair had been cancelled...

I mean we can make up what if’s, but the fact is UT was ranked what they were ranked. Rankings are the metric used by all sports.far more important things in life need to get straightened out before the college football polls we are basically guesswork from the start
texas didn't need to be ranked in the top 10 and if the pac and big 10 are playing i don't think they are and what the last two weeks has shown is just how badly over rated they were coming into this season
the frogs have bigger issue to marketing their program than the rankings.
