It's decent, I guess. I definitely don't agree with TCU being ranked ahead of Miami.

[Olson-for-Heisman]

Pretty good poll.

I'd swap Miami and Ohio State and drop Iowa a few more spots.

[WatsonTiger]

I can has gamedey?

I don't understand how a 1-loss Michigan team can dropout, and a 2-2 Oklahoma team is ranked 19th. Wisconsin also deserves to be in over OU.

It's all based on preseason polls and expectations. It's the same reason Mississippi and BYU are ranked. Another reason I hate preseason polls.

Oklahoma's two wins are against Idaho State and Tulsa, so it's not like they've faced a Miami-like schedule in which 2-2 would be pretty darn good. Tulsa may end up looking like a good win at the end of the season, though, depending on how the Golden Hurricane close out the season.

OU has lost to two top 20 opponents away from Norman. OU lost both games by one point despite numerous injuries.

OU played Miami in Miami without it's heisman QB, all-american TE, and #1 reciever.

That's like Florida playing at Miami withouth Tebow, Spikes, and Rainey. How would Texas do without Colt McCoy, Jordan Shipley, and Sergio Kindle?

I'm not saying OU is a great team, I'm just trying to justify them still being in the top 25. Michigan lost to a 1-3 team and hasn't beaten anyone in the top 25.

Utah and Notre Dame over Tulsa and an FCS school.

What? Michigan doesn't play Utah this year so that blows a hole in half of your arguement.

Michigan has beaten Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Indiana, and Notre Dame.

Tulsa is better than the Michigan schools and might be better than Indiana.

I think OU is still ranked because they have two losses by a combined two points to ranked opponents. If OU ever gets healthy they are a top 25 team.

I would like to see how other teams would fare against Miami with out their starting QB, top WR, and top TE.

That one-loss Michigan team who was 22nd lost to a MSU team that's like 1-3. On top of that, teams like Auburn, USF, SC among others have good resumes and are undefeated.
