The Coaches poll is a joke....

Here are their losses
- Notre Dame- One loss on the road by two points against undefeated Clemson
- Cal- One loss on the road by 6 against undefeated Utah
- OSU- Undefeated
- TCU- Undefeated
Well maybe Texas got votes because their losses were to teams that entered yesterday with a record of 17 and 1 and the one loss was ND at undefeated Clemson. And then yesterday, thay gave a 9th ranked team their only loss.
Texas is not a great football team. But their talent is good enough to beat a good team if their special teams dont kill them. Yesterday, their shaky PK was dead solid. They won the kicking game with a ko coverage fumble recovery. They won the game in the kicking game. They did not just beat us. They looked like a better team on both sides of the ball.

No, that wasn't an anomaly, they were better than us...yesterday.
We play them five times in a row, I submit we win three of them...Chit happens.
So... We are voting teams in top 25 because they played good teams and got beat by 5-7 TDs? That's a disgrace
No.... WE aren't. I'm still waiting for my ballot. Did you get yours? And we are still ranked ahead of the team that got beat by 5-7 touchdowns by good teams that beat us.
I'm not defending the votes, just looking at the possible logic behind them.
Not only this, but Texas was just a handful of bad plays and bad calls from having 2 more wins. Had a few things gone UTs way against Cal and OSU, they could very well be 4-2 right now. That is a HUGE difference from 2-4 when it comes to perception with coaches voting for polls. Sounds like a few coaches took those things into consideration.
If If If... The Pokes dominated Texas and even gave them 3 turnovers. You are delusional
