The only question I have for you Ags is, how the F are you not playing in this game tonight?

Basically, we were punished for losing to Arky OOC.

Pollsters are morons that don't consider SOS. Take 9-3 Bama last week as an example. They dropped like a rock because they lost to #1 Auburn by 1 point. They ended up ranked behind 10-2 VT (lost to James f'ing Madison & Boise St.), 10-2 Oklahoma St (lost to OU & NU, both at home. Beat us, played nobody ooc), 10-2 Oklahoma (lost to us & Mizzou, beat OSU, beat Cinci by 2, beat Air Force by 3, annihilated FSU).

Anyway, the point is that the idiot pollsters won't rank anybody from a BCS conference ahead of another school with a better record, even if the SOS of the school with the worse record is far, far superior (like Bama vs Virginia Tech). In the regular season, VT played one team that is currently ranked (Boise) and they lost, whereas Bama ran the SEC West gauntlet.

Same thing happened to us. OU went 1-2 against their ranked opponents while we went 2-3. So despite the fact that we played more ranked teams, accumulated more ranked victories, beat them by 2 damn touchdowns, and ended up in a 3 way tie, we got shafted.

If we had beaten Oklahoma State, this wouldn't have been an issue, but despite gaining 550 yards to their 350, we turned the ball over like it was greased and lost on the last play of the game.
