PrintOklahoma, Florida and Texas all struggled in the season debuts resulting in the Sooners and Gators taking it on the chin in the polls. Florida drops four spots to #8 and the Sooners drop down three to #10. Meanwhile, Texas who looked anything but the part of a world beater survived the storm and stayed solid at #5. Not only that but someone out there thought that the Longhorns looked like the best team in the nation on Saturday and rewarded their getting stuffed at the goal line against Rice with a first place vote. Hmmmmm...too much orange kool aid will do that to ya.
The big winners of the weekend in the polls were the Boise State Broncos who stayed at #3 put picked up 8 first place votes and TCU who jumped into the Top 5 at #4. Thoughts?

Texas didn't look great but we also didn't look poor.
The game was only a couple plays from being a blowout. Saying we struggled is a stretch. Sounds like your trying to make up for how poor OU played.
ATX
Not at all
I, and just about everyone that posts here, have openly admitted that Oklahoma played very poorly. So you feel that the Longhorns performance was worthy of a 1st place vote?
definately not deserving of a 1st place vote...
Then again, there are some odd balls out there
I didn't say that...
and I’m not sure because it is the first game of the year. Boise State at this point, out of the top 5, is the only team that earned a first place vote.
Did we “struggle?” No we didn’t. I’m assuming you didn’t watch the game from that statement.
Its too early to discuss rankings.

The point I was making is that Texas didn't earn a 1st place vote with their play
They trailed for most of the first quarter as well as getting shut out for the first 15 minutes. Got stuffed at the goal line, failed to produce a 100 yard rusher and neither of the top two backs even averaged 4.0 yards per carry.
I guess that’s was what you were expecting to see though. Kinda thought you would have had higher standards. Oh well…
Rankings don't matter right now.
It’s way too early to talk about rankings. OU needs to focus on “the next game.” If we take care of business we will be ranked in the top 5 when it really matters. But for now, let’s just focus on beating FSU.
I agree
Dropping a couple of spots to 10 is understandable after the first game. A #1 vote for Texas is pure corruption.
apparently
Scott Wolf, writer for the Los Angeles Daily News is the culprit. Also worth mentioning, he’s got FSU @ # 12 and OU @ # 17.

"Ronnell is a freak of nature. Anybody that big, powerful and fast shouldn't be allowed on the field. That's Ronnell. You saw in the Kansas game when he knocked that guy out, he changed the whole game."
I'm not sure
But I would think you could check that on this site as well. While I would absolutely have my issues w/ him having them #1 preseason, at least that would make a little sense after their performance against Rice and putting them #1 again.

RANKINGS!!!!
THEY DON’T MATTER RIGHT NOW. AND Atownatx…OU was not a few plays from a loss. It would have only been tied had USU gone down and scored a touchdown. BUT, they threw a pick instead. Plus, OU had a touchdown called back just like USU so that is a wash. OU looked ugly, but it is the first game and we definitely held back some offensive and defensive formations and packages. Take out your measuring stick next week. Relax people, the sky is not falling yet…
....except on our defensive backs
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
You guys are not holding up your end of the bargain.
The RRS has got to have meaning. Pull your heads out of your arses and kick some dang Seminole butt this weekend.
and why do we care again?

Texas Sucks
Came about because of the Texas Fight chant u guys use. At the Cotton Bowl, when UT fans chant Texas, Sooner fans answer with sucks. If you are at the game or watching on TV, all you hear is Texas Sucks.
