Don't anybody be offended that we're underrated.

We have all season to prove them wrong!

 

[Horn6721]

Of course I think we deserve it
But a tiny part wonders every so slightly for the briefest of moments if ESPN is being generous to pimp THE game.

 

[Driver 8]

Early polls are all in fun I guess but we don't belong anywhere near the top 10 imo

 

[militaryhorn]

I think that is their FPI rankings which isn't based on opinions but simulations on how we finish the season.

 

[mchammer]

How is Utah above Florida?

Surely you don't expect these voters to consider much less know the outcome of head to head competition.

I just noted this is the espn computer generated poll based on predicted end of season record and strength of schedule.

 

[Run Pincher]

Baylor #8 when they're an underdog to the Mormans Saturday??

 

[Horn6721]

mc?
So this is a poll where they expect teams to finish at the end of the season?

Hmm I like it

 

[X Misn Tx]

is this for football? i'm confused. lol

This is ESPN’s real poll:

College football Power Rankings after Week 1

 

[nashhorn]

More what I’d expect in prediction for us but questionable on others.

 

[WorsterMan]

This is ESPN’s real poll:

College football Power Rankings after Week 1

That ranking is where the Horns should be at this point after 1 game win over ULM: # 23, not # 7.

 

[Horns11]

The FPI can be summed up as "we used a bunch of subjective metrics to come up with a formula and can't accurately put teams in order until the end of the season" kind of thing.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Don't like it. We aren't top 10 yet. And won't be after Saturday. Hope I'm wrong though.

That's much better.

 

[Horn6721]

But 03
Don't you kinda like the first poll which is apparently where ESPN thinks we will end up at end of season?.

I like it.

And #7 for us looks a bit underrated to me...

I'm borrowing the pitcher.
