    I'm surprised that both Ga. and Iowa are still ranked, that Fla fell below Tenn. I think Texas is in a very good position human poll wise. We are unlikely to lose another game. While OSU/Mich one of them will lose, WVa is going to lose 1 game some place, USC has been playing it very close and I think they will lose 1 game (ND hopefully). That leaves Texas as having a good shot to move up to #2.

    Now the computers aren't going to like Texas as well as the human polls because of our schedule. So we'll see.

    I do have to point out for Scott's benefit that the Aggies are in the top 25 and with OU greatly weakened and Neb not a juggernaut...you guys could come to Austin 10-1 ranked somewhere between 10-15!! Even a loss to Texas would still leave you guys a top 25 team and Frans future would be secure.

    I would be willing to bet that either Auburn OR Fla would beat Tenn.

    BCS Poll is out.

    1. OSU
    2. USC
    3. um
    4. Auburn
    5. W.Va.
    6. Gators
    7. Louisville
    8. Notre Dame
    9. Texas
    10. CAL


    Let's see didn't Tenn humiliate CAL? Don't both have 5-1 records? Seems a bit odd.

    hmm

    <t>i'm not too sure. I'll see if I can find that. Does anyone have any idea why Arkansas isn't higher? I mean, the games do mean something, right?</t>

    I would imagine that the huge loss to USC at home is killing them.
