Coaches poll:

669889356_nqNf6-L.png

 
Of the other potential suiters in the top 25, I would say that OU belongs in the top-25 based on ranked opponents to date. My issue is more that they should be dead last at #25.

What makes this more of an issue in my head is that OU is a very established program with good, deep recruiting lines and they are still losing. The other teams that are nipping at their heels in the top-25 right now have newer coaches trying to establish a new system. No reason for OU to lose in my opinion.

I haven't watched any of their games this year, but I'm guessing their Oline is more than suspect this year as predicted. Is Bradford this critical to OU's team? Of course, all of this now has me thinking...how critical is McElroy to Bama now versus the beginning of the season.
 
The problem has been their OL. I complained about that all summer when people were pointing to ours as a potential weakness, but no one was saying anything about theirs and they had to replace four of their five starters. The lone returning starter had just over a seasons worth of starts under his belt...and, he also happened to be the one that missed his assignment so badly it resulted in Bradford getting hurt.

My only issue is for every team you can name that should be ranked higher, most of them haven't beaten anyone. South Carolina may have the only legitimate argument based on their win over Ole Miss. South Florida? I'd have to think about that one considering the spiral FSU is on...
 
I'm just struggling with the fact they have 2 L's and they are still in the top 20. At some point, a loss is a loss, regardless of the other teams ranking, especially this early in the season. OU has only played 4 games, they are 2-2, they don't belong in the top-20, I don't care who they played and how many points they lost by.

I heard many question OU's OL...but I'm damn near in the middle of OU country 30 miles north of Dallas....that and Aggie and UT land for that matter. The media conveniently overlooked this, but not a big surprise there.

OU just might be "lucky" they are playing a Griffin-less Baylor next week... I hope Texas beats them like there is no tomorrow in two weeks.
 
Can't agree with you there—as in rooting for Texas.

Too many things I just don't care for about that program...Coach Brown, the fact they are UT, they wear orange...

Hey plan...go back to the first page, third post, and look at the Harris poll and where they have OU. :shock:

I don't see that.

its matt btw :)

top 10 in harris, hogwash! they have lost 1/2 their games, I just don't get it obviously.

with that logic, Miami should be ranked ahead of them in the Harris as they lost to VaTech, but beat OU and GaT

I think they're about spot-on.
It'll be interesting to see how they polls react to a UF loss to LSU. I just don't see Florida winning that one. I hope I'm wrong.

I've been saying that too, but after watching them stumble all over themselves vs. UGA, I'm not so sure.
We can be fairly sure that Super Tim won't be playing. so that kind of evens things out a bit. Add that it's a night game in Red Stick and the odds favor them slightly more. Even with all that, LSU is going to have to play 110% in order to pull off this upset. If they don't play any better than they did yesterday, they're gonna be in for a very long night.
I wouldn't be surprised if UM suited Tebow up, "just in case".

If this indeed happens, we are more likely than TX to take the top spot next week.

I think Auburn deserves their spot.

Agreed. The lower parts of the rankings are already a mixture of teams that haven't played anyone but have handled what they've faced, or teams with both good wins and bad losses. Iowa is no12, and their resume is hardly better than Auburn's.

Then there's OU, who have two losses and whose best win is Tulsa. Go figure.
