@jsmayer181….you really think OU doesn’t belong in the top 25? They lost two games to teams in the top 5, one of which is playing for the nat’l championship. I hardly think their case is even remotely similar to Texas. Now, go get your shinebox.

Brian…how can OK be in top 25? Stoops has them ranked 6. That helps.

As for Oregon and Florida being 3 and 4. Both can’t automatically qualify for the BCS. If the #3 team in the standings qualifies as an automatic at-large, then the #4 team doesn’t qualify. It would be up to the Sugar Bowl to decide between GA and FL. That said, the computers have FL ranked so high, that even if they finished one spot behind Oregon, they’d probably finish ahead in the BCS.

My question is how can Texas get annihilated by Oklahoma, lose back to back games (2x this year) and still be ranked in Top 25?

This is not again. These teams are nowhere near as good as theTCU and Bosie teams of the past 5 years.
