Does 3 still make the playoffs? It doesn’t matter where we are ranked today, he’ll we could be ranked 10th and it wouldn’t matter. In 2 weeks after the bama game let’s see where we are ranked....but it still will not matter because the season is not over yet.

The only ranking that matters is the selection committee ranking AFTER ALL OF THE REGULAR SEASON GAMES ARE PLAYED and we still have 4 or possibly 5 games left.

Are you really comparing beating Arkansas to beating Auburn? Lol... Arkansas is a small notch above a high school team right now.. Alabama’s could play nothing but walk ons and still win that game.

I'm not worried about it. Beat Bama and it doesn't matter.

Considering we had a tough game against a quality #9 opponent and OSU throttled #12? Wisconsin, the drop by Herbie doesn't surprise me.

From a neutral perspective we didn’t look like the number 1 team in the country yesterday but it doesn’t matter. Just beat Bama and win out and everything will fall into place.

I think the team was making sure they had a run game to go into Alabama game, that's all. Bama game has been a battle of run game for many years.

A bit too aggressive on the Punt Return...mistake made.

Two 4 & 1 with run plays that didn't turn out. Lots of other 3rd down conversions with a run called when a pass would had worked.

Burrow and company know they can pass their way to a score, but then time of possession is too short, and the defense runs down. I feel very confident yesterday was about making sure the offense stays on the field long enough to control the clock.

Bring on Bama!

It was a good win but we didn't look great. Is what it is: an arbitrary ranking that doesn't mean shite but let's get upset about it.

How did Oklahoma & Hurts look in their loss to unranked Kansas State?

Good? Great?

We were winning with style points earlier in the year. Last couple of games.....not so much. If we keep winning, “style points” won’t matter.

I agree. Who wants to be ranked #1? I want us to BE number one. Just win and all will fall in line.

ESPN pushed for Bama to be in the 2011 title game.
