01/08 AP Final Top 25 Poll: Texas is #9

[Brothahorn 10087]

All I needed to see was where Kentucky was ranked to know the level of bullshit.
12... Number fucking 12

SEC SEC SEC

[Kyle 207]

After Monday I could argue for:

1. Clemson

2. Notre Dame

3. Alabama

4. ousux

5. OSU

6. Florida

7. LSU

8. Texas

9. Georgia

10. WSU

I hate to do it, but ND schedule was pretty good, and the OSU should not get a pass for no playoff. Don't think you cannot put Georgia above Texas when Texas won "31-14."

Well, that's probably largely because they beat Penn State in the bowl, which actually is impressive when you remember that Penn State had that impressive win over no one. 

And they finished 2nd in the SEC East and manhandled Florida in Gainesville who for no justifiable reasons got ranked ahead of both Kentucky and Georgia.

Can you put Texas above West Virginia?  Or Oklahoma St.?  Georgia was more consistent and they did beat Florida and Kentucky easily.  Only Clemson stayed on the field with Alabama other than Georgia.  Notre Dame just wasn't in the same class as Clemson and they had their Ball ST. game (24-16 over 4-8 MAC team).  Alabama lost by 4 TDs, but looked like they belonged in the game.  I put ND 5, UGA 6 and LSU 7 for more season long consistency.  UT 8.

I'd replace Notre Dame with Maryland. Other than that, looks good.

I think I remember seeing some sports reporters with a mock poll with UT as high as #6, for next season, and that defense can do that...

Apparently we are the highest ranked 4-loss team in the final AP poll EVER.

Don't aggy this up.

Wanna see TH start curb-stomping when he gets a lead and not go into turtle mode.  Remember him saying "the game almost got out of hand" at half of the Tulsa game, like it was a bad thing....  Fuck that.  We WANT those games to get out of hand.  Put in the second string and make them perform.

They would put it on their stadium if 'bama did it.

We will. Sam is going to toss for 40/4k next season. They might be 50-30 curb stompings instead of 30-10 curb stompings but I see them happening either way. I think this team is going to have too much fun to not start hanging it up. Hopefully some of the jitters will be gone now that they know what they can do on any given Saturday.

Can't argue with any of that. Just like OSU's Purdue loss seems to kick it out of the Top 10. At the end of the day, polls will always be unexact science. After bowl season, I think XII may have been the best conference. I know excuses (secsecsec), but if Grier plays, WVU likely beats Syracuse, and ISU got hosed by the zebras. Easily could have gone 6-1 in bowls, and each win was quality.

Among the top 100 things I will never understand ... I suggest MOB put on red and yellow and play the Maryland fight songs next year.
