Yeah, there’s a good case for it but a win this weekend wouldn’t even put us there imo. The AP poll has no longer has any credibility, just way too many voters. There was a guy who actually moved Miss State up eight spots this past weekend after they were throttled by bama.

If we do happen to beat LSU this weekend, if we’re not #15-17 I know a bunch of mad Kentucky fans are going to raise helll. . I’d love to play a close game and have a chance to win at the end. Here’s hoping for the best.

@paulcalhoun_rivals397471 seems like a good dude to me. Some of yall unnecessarily give him too hard a time.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Beat LSU and things will fall into place.

Hes really come a long way. Im proud of him. Didn't feed any trolls last night one time. He's really growing right in front of us. So proud of my big boy. I knew eventually he would get it. I've always told him to reach for the stars. Sometimes when your children act out you don't leave them. Just stay persistent and eventually they will learn what you are trying to teach them. Paul the forum is really proud of you. Keep it up Tiger

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Only if we win this weekend.

Playoff rankings are all that matters anuways. If we are 6 and 2 going into tn game we will be ranked n that first poll.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Im just giddy that we're 4-1. We would be at best 3-2 with Stoops and all but maybe 20 other coaches out there. So I could care less about the AP poll this year. Im just happy we seemingly have a top20-15 type of coach (and maybe better).

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

How far do we fall if we beat them?

 

[BBNinSCar]

There seems to be a Big 12 bias in the polls. Any team in that conference would struggle to win 6 games in the SEC.
The Big 10 appears to be down despite all the chest thumping from that crowd lately. Penn St and Oregon are not that good and the media is trying hard to prop up Michigan and Nebraska as viable- when everyone knows with a tough schedule these teams would lose a lot.
I do believe 3-4 SEC teams would beat Texas right now.

 

[Padsfs07]

People keep saying A&M isn't a good win, but if they had beat us, they would still be ranked at 4-1 so the only thing that makes that not a 'good' win is us beating them.

 

[FLBBNFAN]

We have our work cut out for us this weekend but I think we can make this a tight game. Impressive so far in what Stein is doing. He has swag and his players feed off of it.

Didn't realize:
1) We lead college football in defensive pressures. Now we just need to corral the opposing qb and get off the field on 3rd down.
2) Minchey is the top rated qb in the red zone.
3) Our right guard is ranked number 1 in football right now for all right guards.

No doubt we have tough games ahead but its been a great ride so far. Think our offensive line may be the difference this Saturday. We have some monsters on our o line.

Go Cats!

 

[Skyguyb27]

We gonna beat down some tigers by 10 this weekend. If we get lucky we will be moved up to 26th.

Yep and the other thing is they really fail to define exactly "not a good win".

Let's say Texas AM was overrated..........it's still a win ........in dominating fashion........on the road against a strong SEC team.

I think any win on the road in the sec is a good win. Sometimes you win ugly but I'll still take it.

Your support is appreciated. They just can't stand anyone who dares to interrupt their non stop complaining and negativity.

Yes, but I don't actually think the A&M win was ugly. It was beautiful. I thought we actually dominated them after halftime. Something I am not used to seeing on the road in SEC.

So beautiful. Haters won't steal my joy!

It's really gotten about too weird for me. It's like those that say we suck or spam the board with insanity are a protected species and if you say the sky isn't falling, you get attacked with no help available to you. Crazy.

I think the mods do a pretty good job as best they can but when they ban these people they just start a new anonymous account over and over.

Of course we do in reality. I hope we beat LSU or at least make it close. That would be a huge huge win. We would get some respect then.

I bet Stoops would be 1-4. That Bama win alone would have crushed him.

It's one guy and that POS gets protected by his MOD buddy so he'll gladly delete as his new aliases and carry his water. I'll get banned as they don't want anyone getting in the way of their bad behavior.

I have noticed that Dudah manages to stay around despite regularly threatening people with violence. He even goes so far as to post locations to meet. I've noticed he has not posted since Sunday so he may have gotten a timeout but since then DanyAndy et al have gone berserk again.

It's all the same guy and it the worst kept secret on this site.

I agree and wasn't implying the a&m win was ugly. About the best 3rd quarter I have ever seen by a team. Just meant I will take a road win anytime even if it's ugly .

Our strength of record(SOR) is ranked 5th I believe. That alone should have us top 25
