Eh. The playoff changed this. I wanted a clear 1-2 undefeated game when you had a winner take all game like 2005, I wanted no doubts when we won then.  
 

With a playoff it really doesn’t matter, you settle it on the field regardless. Sure it will be cool, if both teams win out, for Georgia-Texas to be 1 v 2. But that’s about all I want. I would rather they lost last night as we took the top spot. 

I think there's still a huge difference between #1 and every other spot.

Arch effect has massive reach, obviously. 

 

Probably has more to do with UGA almost shitting the bed against a basketball school.

All we did was hold serve, really.

If both us and UGA stay undefeated until they come to Austin, it could be a #1 vs. #1 regular season matchup. I can’t remember that ever happening.

Yes 

No they won’t.

now that UGA has dropped to #2.

if we look mediocre against Monroe or miss st, maybe but if we cover or come close, nope.

I personally would very much enjoy a first round bye, so I think yes.

I mean, they “matter” in a broad sense, but the bye comes with winning the SEC and not having four conference champions ranked higher.

Our first time being #1 in the regular season since 2008 I think. And hell I am not even sure the last time we were #1 in the regular season prior to 2008.

I am going to enjoy this this week.

Edit: Ok so the last two times Texas was ranked #1 in the regular season was 2008 and...1984. So a rare honor for us.

Has someone checked on Texags? 

Now that they have won an **SEC** **road** game, they are back on the roller coaster. They think that UT is barely top 10, hasn't played anyone, Michigan will drop out of top 25 next week, and of course, they beating us is a given.

This.

id much rather be #2 taking #1 from the team holding it in our house, than having to defend #1.

You know it's the same two teams playing either way right?

They're taking it well.

One of these things is not like the other:

By this logic, aggy is a top 6 team and Texas isn't.

Sleeping giant.  Mammoth, really.  Sure would be a shame if they ran out of time 4 to 6 times again this year.

Hunter vs. hunted. I question whether it actually makes any difference, but Texas needs to get used to meeting or exceeding expectations.

Surely we were #1 at some point in 09. Actually I guess Florida hung on to that till bama face raped them in the sec title game.

They matter to people who enjoy following college football. Times ranked #1 is a thing that is tracked. Only dipshits with no sense of excitement or humor would look at Texas being ranked #1 and go Debbie Downer on it. 

Enjoy it while it lasts because the winner of the UGA/Bama game seems likely to bump Texas and I don’t think we’ll have a quibble. It gets to get settled on the field irrespective. 

I don't think Bama jumps unless they dominate GA and win by 35+ and Texas has a bad game and doesn't blow out ULM.

If GA destroys Bama, they could certainly take back the top spot regardless of our outcome.

I like improving our stats when we play the #1 ranked team.

 

of course I guess I like being the #1 ranked team more
