#9 in the AP

Today was a good day to squeak out a win.

That game looks huge at the moment. It's in Austin, hopefully at night. WVU has ISU and Baylor (Thurs game) in between while we have Baylor and OSU. I am not sure who thought back in August this would be a battle of two top 10 teams but it's now very possible.

So much for that idea

Was about to rejoice in Miami being down 10 in the 4th, but they were 6 spots below us anyway. Not sure why, since we both lost in week 1 but theirs was to LSU. But if they lose here it doesn't matter anyway.

I always twice when Miami loses

No way Michigan jumps us.

This week #6 AP and #7 Coaches poll

 

[beaVo]

the coach’s poll is worthless. why do they bother.

 

[Statalyzer]

Given how badly tOSU lost, the coaches staff members' assistants poll still having them above Florida and UCF is a little ridiculous. The effect of high preseason rankings that never fully vanishes as the year goes on.

This is getting scary! So, if we run the table (and win B12 CG), I can’t see how we miss the CFP. And as each week passes, the pressure sky rockets for the coaches, players & fan “expectations”. For me, I’m hoping for a NYD 6 spot. 5 games left & not a single gimme. Let’s stay steady and laser focus on the NEXT game!

That’s why coach Herman’s Mantra is “1-0” each week.

I remember when the DKR announcer gave scores on the PA system, prior to everyone already knowing due to phones and digital scoreboards. The two most anticipated were always Slippery Rock and aggy losing.
