Sparky... you grabbed last weeks Harris Poll results. The new one's are up.

ou got the shaft in the polls!! How do u crush a team and drop two spots?

Take a deep breath Dom... it's the just AP. You will always see a east coast and west dominated agenda there. If they finish up with wins over Tech and OSU like they should, everything will work out.

Honestly I truly think OU should have dropped to 5 as Texas should have taken over the #4 spot. What I don't see, is how FL. jumped in the AP and Harris. That's ridiculous.... Georgia was obviously overrated as I've been saying since day 1. So why reward someone so drastically for a mediocre win. The fact remains that Georgia had only faced two top level teams (LSU is not top level this year) and both times they got smoked. Fl whipping up on them only serves to drive that point home.

Common sense If #5 beats #8, they shouldn't move up. YOUR EXPECTED TO WIN THAT GAME. But the polls have never employed common sense now have they?

I think OU deserves to be right behind Texas. And Oklahoma State definitely gets ranked above USC. Florida deserves to be penalized for losing to an unranked team, just like USC. I don't get how Ohio State is even in the top 15, or Missouri for that matter.

Be careful Dog.... we might start getting called Big 12 homers. .... Wait a minute.... am I siding w/ a Short horn????? What is this world coming to???

It'll all change again next couple of weeks.

Yep... it sure will. We all know Penn St. will more than likely roll through the rest of their games... so there's 1 team. So unless FL. loses (highly unlikely looking at their schedule), and assuming they beat Bama, they'll be getting the nod over any one loss Big 12 team I think. The east coast media is already pushing hard... just watch ESPN and you'll see it.

If Tech drops a game....the Big 12 had better hope the Sooners and Texas are left standing amongst the one loss teams. Ok state and Tech just don't have the media hype or back room power to go up against a FL. and lobby their way in. Depending on how the final BCS rankings shake out in terms of strength of schedule... it is possible that the Big 12 schools could jump a FL. for the BCS bid. I think the only way it will happen is strength of schedule though, as the media is in love with FL (listen to Herby if you don't believe me). The big 12's best bet here is a 3 way tie in the south... that way 3 of the schools have 1 loss which keeps them all in the top 10.

It would depend on who Tech loses to. If they lose to OK State, then it's a real mess. If they lose to OU, then OU Texas is in. We'll know more next week. OK State is for real and they might just be able to knock off Tech.

Yes they are. And unfortunately we gotta go there to play them!

So I noticed that UT was supposed to play Arkansas early in the season but was postponed for some reason. Does anyone know if UT will play that game or if it will just be cancelled?

Not sure if it helps OU but we play Tech at home. Unfortunately we have to play OSU in Stillwater. Both those games make me very nervous.

It was postponed because of Hurricane Ike. They played the game a couple of weeks later. Texas beat the tar out of them 52-10.

Because when you crush a team you don't give up any points like USC has done 3 time already this season.

But they dropped 2 spots as well...
