Our fan base (and voters) is like the Fansville group…coach says “we are undefeated”. And the fans say “yeah, but we didn’t win by enough”.
Are there smart losses?
All wins is hard to beat
Here’s another one. Why is Pitt ranked ahead of us? They have one fewer win and also have a loss to WVU. Their best win? 5-4 NCST.
Like I know the WVU loss deflated us but if you actually sift through the resumes of some of these teams you’ll see that we still look like a T-25 team.

Why didn’t we just cancel the team after 96? No one of our wins for nearly 30 years was worth an SEC conference loss.

Beating both a ranked ASU, and Arizona alone should have us ranked. Arizona is deadly man, they’re a few plays from being 8-1

We’ve beat teams in environments where the opposing team hasn’t lost in seasons. WE HANDED UCF THEIR FIRST SPACE GAME LOSS!

136 teams.
30 haven’t won a game on the road.
One is 5-0 (HOUSTON)
Four are 4-0 (Aggy, OSU, Indiana, Ducks)
Four are 3-0 (UGa, Louisville, OU, UNT)
Everyone else has a loss. More importantly Miami and Missouri have only played two road games!

Its going to take a win against a team not deemed mediocre at best to get back into the rankings.
So TCU and Baylor?
It is utterly bull crap. USF has done great but they do not deserve to be ahead of us.
Here is why.
With the same anti BIG12 BYU should be ahead of uta with only one loss. uta lost to Florida that is aweful this year and has fired their coach. Normally this would penalize uta or any other team trying to get into the cfp. For espn and the cfp voters it means nothing.
What this means is that the BIG12 more than likely with this obvious anti BIG12 will only have one team in the cfp. Guess who will take BYU’s place?

If I knew we would have made it into the top 25 at any point in the season and been ranked 30 now, I would have been, and I am reallyhappy.
To just see our school logo on Gameday as being relevant is amazing.
Lets beat TCU!

We lost to a pathetic WVA team just a week ago …not going to make up for that with one 3 point win against a 4 win UCF team …just facts …again we are a solid team but not top 25 worthy at this point …

Let’s face the facts. These frauds and the cfp do not consider us equal to the sec or big10. Why is pitt ahead of us? They got beat by WV but they are still ahead of us.
Same goes for Virginia.
Stop with the self hate. Pitts ranked #23 with a loss to that same WVU team. Their 5 conference wins are to teams that are a combined 6-25 in league play (literally the 5 worst teams in the ACC). Their non-conference wins were against an FCS team and Western Michigan. We have a T-25 resume.
Edit: and it’s bigger than just us. There is zero reason why the ACC should have more teams ranked than the B12. We went 6-1 against that league with knocking off two of the teams that are currently tied for 1st (Pitt, SMU x2). The lone win for the ACC was GT over Colorado. They collectively sh*t the bed in the non-conference but are still getting propped up by the pollsters.

You keep saying that but it isn’t true.
We are the only unranked P4 team with just two losses DESPITE
More top 100 wins than Texas, ND, Cincy, Miami, Pitt, Louisville, and Tennessee
More to 50 wins than Cincy, Virginia, Pitt, USF, and Tennessee
Most road wins in the nation
And if losing to West Virginia is a killer than why is Pitt ranked with a worse resume but a similar loss?
Tennessee has 3 losses and is ranked 21st. What’s their best win? Nobody in top 50.

Tennessee still passes the “eye test”.
Their 3 losses were all very close, to top ranked teams. They are a handful of plays from being undefeated.
Close SEC losses = Ugly Big 12 Wins
I don’t make the rules yall
