Love the 2 votes for Virginia Tech.  Do they not pay attention?  How could anyone rank VT in the top 25.... so they're saying VT with two losses, one to a IAA team, is better than a bunch of one loss and no loss teams.  The coaches make me sick how much they don't pay attention or have favorites.

Alos, Wooo Big Ten and Northwestern getting some votes.  Also, we jumped Penn State after they were too close for comfort against Temple.

Point is that one loss, even to a 1-aa team doesn't have to cripple your season. Both teams lost their opening 2 games, to a 1-aa team and a much stronger team, came back and won their next 2 games (in our case against a top 10 ranked Penn State).

Should we have been ranked in the top 25? Maybe, probably not. But it's not that unfathomable that a few coaches saw either team as being worthy of a 24th or 25th place vote.

Kansas State beat UCLA and is 4-0 too.  But KSU isn't a top 10 team.  I'm not saying that Stanford doesn't have a top 10 team when all is said and done, nor am I saying that their wins haven't been impressive.  I'm just saying that for "right now" I see them as an 11-15 ranked team.  Now, if they beat Oregon next week, I would see them as a top 5 team.  I'm just reserving judgment until later.

 

I would also consider Texas to be vastly overrated.

If they beat Oregon next week, they have a case to be #1, at least among the resume rankers. No team would have nearly the resume they would, with wins at Oregon, at UCLA, and at ND. That Oregon-Stanford game will be very interesting, two completely different styles of power football.

both Florida and OU (and possibly TCU and Nebraska) right now. They've won by 35, 35, 44, and 17. Two of those games on the road (blanked UCLA 35-0 in the Rose Bowl) and just made ND look like a MAC school in South Bend--that was a beat down.  They've outscored their opponents by 131 points in 4 games. Granted one was Sac St., but the other three represent BSC conferences and/or = ND.Other than Oregon and OSU, I don't know another team that's looked more impressive to date.

ugh, I really want SU to abandon ship from the Big East.  It's a sinking ship and we're going down by the bow.

Pitt sucks, UConn sucks, Rutgers is descending from mediocrity back to their rightful place at total fail, USF looked terrible against Western Kentucky, and Louisville is just awful.  But hey, West Virginia came back and barely beat Marshall and played LSU tight.  And Cincinnati is 0-3.  SU is 3-1, see everyone in Pasadena...
