🏈 If Texas loses to Texas Tech who's #1?

Should be Bama based on the comparison of the schedules. Tech has only played 1 ranked opponent and that was Kansas @ 23. Granted, they are putting up some points but all around, Bama looks better. I think they would have to blow Texas away to jump us.
 
having Texas jump Alabama too #1 is one thing, but having Texas Tech possibly do it is an entirely different animal. I mean Texas Tech plays absolutely 0 defense. At least Texas plays some D. Just look what happened the last time Alabama faced Texas Tech. They came in with one of the best passing games, if not the best, in the nation and we shut them down. If the voters have Texas Tech just Bama if they beat Texas then thats fine by me. Texas Tech would be a much easier opponent to prepare for as opposed to a Penn State or USC in my opinion.
 
Don't care. Only want to be # 1 in the final poll of the season... Sick of what ifs... Just win baby, and seriously , everything will take care of itself. (this coming from a guy who thought we might win 9-10 games this year, and don't know if I'm more suprised at Bama's sudden rise, or AU's sudden trip down the toilet.)
 
If it were just Alabama, I's say there was a chance. However, with the JoePa love going around, and the season being as deep as it is, I can't see the masses voting to jump PSU in favor of Texas Tech. And if they don't jump PSU...they are sitting in the fabled Auburn-seat.
 
Tech should NOT be number one, no matter what happens. The polls would be a sham if they raised THAT high up just because of one win over a ranked opponent.

Tech is gonna end up losing at least two games, btw. At some point they'll come across a good defense and be forced to play REAL football...a game they can't actually play.
 
Just because it needs to be in a thread, and not a thread in itself...

Watching Gameday...

Ironic? "Let's go Raiders" and "Over rated," when cheered, sound an awful lot alike.

Not imply anything...just sayin'...

Exactly what he said. We are only 12 months away from ULM and Miss State beating us. One game at a time. If we win them that way we will be champions. Anything less is speculation.
 
this discussion is really uncalled for to be honest. i honestly dont think Tech is gonna hang with Texas. U need a defense to hang with them, guess what Texas Tech doesnt have?
 
Well I think it "should" be

1: Texas
2: Alabama
3: Florida
4: Penn State

I think Florida is a tough team and they only lost by one point to a good Ole Miss team. I really hope we meet one another in the SEC Championship because I think it will be better then any National Title game this year in my opinion. It will be some hard hitting if we both make it to that point.
