and ou at #11. This is why I quit looking at the polls years ago. Politics.

 

[CharcoalPuppy]

I could take being ranked #14  but OU still being ranked above Texas is that Buuuullsh**

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Without pulling up every team's schedule, I can see at least 3 teams that are ranked below a team they have beat.

That makes no sense whatsoever.  I could understand if Texas had 2 losses and that was OUs only loss, but with both teams at 5-1 that's just asinine.

Throw it on the bulletin board and play with a chip on your shoulder. Prove the pollsters wrong. Keep winning and rest will sort itself out.

It's simple.... OU's loss was more impressive than UT's win.

 

[texasdalton]

The playoff rankings is all that matters. We have a couple more ranked teams to play and beat this season. We will make it in the playoffs... just keep winning

 

[texasdalton]

Fwiw we are at #9 in the AP Poll. If we run the table then we are in the playoffs.

Wait, did you pull that concept off an aggy board?

 

[RunRickyRun]

Nobody takes the coaches poll seriously.

re: the remainder of the schedule, it is pretty favorable towards the Horns:
Baylor is not the Baylor we once feared by any stretch.
Which OSU shows up?  Playing them in Stillwater is no longer the "L" I thought it would be early in the season.
So glad we have WVU at home.  I like our chances much better.
TCEH in Lubbock always scares me to death. Mostly because I have to live around all these wanna-be contenders.
ISU and KU are playing better than the doormats of old, but the Horns should still handle them pretty well. 

I'm thinking 5-1 through the remaining conference games.

ok...I mean really...We are either back or not. I myself have that "we are back" swagger which will of course make me insufferable to all my non Horn friends. Therefore.....the day I fear playing Tech at home or on the moon is the day I just go and lay my head on the tracks and wait for the 12:04....

Someone on another site said, "I don't know if we are back or not, but we are a lot better". 

And I'm with you. I will never fear playing Tech.

Living in Amarillo, I have seen tons of games at Jones Stadium in Lubbock. It is usually a crazy house and not an easy place to win. I absolutely hate tech.

IMO, we shouldn't be poll watching, we should be focused on winning the conference.

I fear playing anyone we're supposed to beat.

I don't think it matters what anyone here is thinking about or reading, as far as any type of effect on the team. In 54 years, I've never seen it.
