9/15/2024 AP Poll Texas #1

[NRHorn]

Steve Patterson did more damage to The University of Texas in a shorter period of time than any human being in history

Yeah, but he did contract a sweet jet pack man to fly around.
We often forget that

Plus he was internationalizing our brand.

The whole point of this thread to appreciate seeing 1 to the left of Texas because, since the '60s, it just rarely happens. This proves it. Unfortunate.

#1 coaches poll

Thread is about AP poll.

Thread is about AP poll.

Why limit yourself?

Coaches Poll is a fraud. Only thing "coaches" have to do with is to hand it to a manager, secretary, office worker to mark the ballot. The coaches do NOT watch the games. The AP voters are mostly sports writers that haven't touched a football since they were four years old but are somehow "qualified" to write about it and vote.

Both are basically "beauty contests", with a few self-serving votes cast.

^^^^^

 

[mchammer]

We are no. 1 in the computer poll:

 

[horninchicago]

I have to say, it is fun, once again, being aggravated by polls from moron writers and coaching assistants as opposed to hoping Texas has a winning season.

 

[mchammer]

2/3 ain’t bad.

 

[X Misn Tx]

I care less about whether we're #1-#4 early in the season. I'd care about #8 if I thought we were better.

But just like HIC said, it sure is fun. lol

And most have pics proudly displayed of them wearing their cute little football uniforms ordered from sears or Montgomery ward.
More than likely next to the pic dressed in a little cowboy outfit on top of that little pony.
All of my fellow old timers from the 50s know of what I speak!

We hated you rich kids that got to do that. They never ventured down to the poor kids in Port Neches or Nederland, they stayed in Beaumont. As kids, we were certain that the devil lived in Beaumont.

Last week the AP Poll was correct. This week the Coaches Poll is correct.

 

[SabreHorn]

The polls are crap, let the kids play, win them all, and I have confidence that between CDC & Bianco we have enough Stroke to be where WE want them to be.

 

[ViperHorn]

As long as Texas avoids multiple losses, they will be in the playoffs. Texas has won at the Shoe at night, at the Bighouse, at Alabama, in the Orange Bowl against Namath, and twice in the Rose Bowl (one against the greatest college team ever) so not playing at home is not an issue for Texas.

 

[horninchicago]

Happily stunned and eating crow here as I felt they would jump Ohio State over Texas.

Not even close, really. Texas 52 first place votes to tOSU 9 votes.

Good for aggy to move up, but Mizzou looked awful.

 

[EMJ426]

Not defending ou, but wondering why their loss to Tennessee weighs more than Utah’s loss to Arizona?

 

[WorsterMan]

We need Mich. to win games...

 

[guy4321]

In the old days, yes, but with the 12 team playoff, no. We just need to win to get a first round bye.

Sure, but pessimists like me are always on the lookout for how we could/will get screwed.

Getting an SEC championship under our belt in Year 1 would obviously be impressive, but I've seen more than a handful of predictions where we end up anywhere from 5-11 without it. Weirder things have happened than us getting upset.

 

[theiioftx]

SEC shorts is out.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Awesome.

And yes, I am already getting tired of carrying this conference!

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Now that we have a 12 team playoff I don't think it really matters anymore. The top 4 seeds are the P4 conference champions and if we lose one game we should handily be a top 6-8 seed. Lose two and I still think we're in because SEC SEC SEC. At this point I don't think it matters what Michigan does.

You misspelled SEC!SEC!SEC!.
