Well, we're still in the top 25. Bama takes over No. 1. Guess its just one of those years but its still hard to see some of the teams ahead of us and not think even in a down year we could field better teams than about 15 of those teams. But we're still OU and they're not so alls not too bad.

We (yes, we) deserve it. Great showing yesterday, kudos to the kids for putting up a fight, and a few interceptions caught and we beat the alleged #3 team.

[JLEW1818]

yup, not bad

AP poll, so won't matter towards bcs

but this is good to know that people know we are still a top 25 team

3-3, 25th, not bad


BCS Rankings to come later

Coach's poll sees it differently.

[Sabanball]

Shows you guys are still garnering a lot of respect around the country and I also think reinforces what I thought about your game yesterday--anyone with a brain that watched it saw you guys beat yourselves.

good to see that we were right there though.

ha Gerald McCoy could eat Ole Miss's offense for lunch.

It's strange that you could be ranked #18 and then lose to #3 by only 3 points. They stay at #3 but we drop 8 spots to #26. I guess until we actually beat someone in the top 25, we won't move higher.

Maybe he'll get the chance to do that in the Cotton Bowl.

Do we really want a third game in Dallas this season?

Do we really want a third game in Dallas this season?

Would you rather go to a lower bowl?

After the KU win we'll be back in the every poll. After the next 3 wins we'll be around 17th... maybe higher.

Which will happen next weekend.
