And the Harris poll as well, though we are only tied for 25th in the Coaches poll so it's more like we're in the Top 26 there.

Wish it didn't happen. Again, let the media respect us after we've done everything, rather than propping us up prematurely...we still got a hungry KSU team to beat.

When we beat Texas and win a BCS bowl game, we'll be top 10!!!

OH YEAH!!!

If we win the next 3 we should be knocking on the top ten door all before Dec 6th just a few weeks away!

how in the H*** is USC still ranked? They've got blown out twice this year.

:sarcasm That is just more proof that the pollsters are homers for the teams on the coasts...

 

[Paul in WI]

For the product we've put on the field this year, that's not bad.

Amen. Never sniff a gift fish.

We probably miss the BCS top 25...

Coaches: 25

Harris: 25

Sagarin ELO: 49

I was just coming back to check and ask the very same question

They only have 3 losses and are not even the top ranked 3 loss team (deservedly so), but I do not see a huge problem with them being in the top 25. They are 7-3 after all and name recognition is always important whether fair or not...

Hard to say.

Lowest computer poll is dropped...

True but we are too far down in most of them. We'll be in the top 20 in Billingsley. Probably be close to 25th in Colley and Anderson, but I doubt we make top 30 in the remaining ones. Our BCS will probably be in the 27-30 range.

Some projections have us matched up with USC in a bowl game.

I would like our chances there.

I would love for us to whip their a$$es and return the heartache that they've given us over the past few seasons.

That game would get a lot of national attention. the media would also create the narrative of us re-emerging and USC descending...

I could understand if USC lost to top ranked teams, but their not. I cannot stand this crap and it just proves that the rankings are truly a joke.

especially because they got rock by oregon who got rocked a week later by stanford, a good team, but still.

The one thing they have going for them is beating the Big 10 Rose Bowl team. But mostly, it's the name, and the voters "knowing" that USC has all of that talent, so they *must* be better than their record.

Don't forget, this isn't just media bias, the coaches' poll has them a spot higher than the AP poll.

it also helps when you start out high, they are reluctant to drop you. but if you claw your way up and lose, you drop like a rock.
