OSU was ranked #1 and Texas was ranked #4 before the game.
I'm aware and now Texas is ranked #1 so they "lost by 1 point on the road to the team ranked #1" and fell 5 spots which is more than i expected but inline with what is reasonable. I didn't say Texas was previously ranked #1 they are now which is all that is relevant.

We are probably ranked around where we should be actually. If you are paying attention...notice how SC has kept winning but keeps moving backwards...

I think it's SC who is suspect, not Michigan. I think Oregon handles them easily.

Ohio State lost by 1 point on the road to the team ranked #1
I'm actually surprised they aren't ranked 4th but they're in the right range
Your mental gymnastics are astounding. Texas is #1 NOW. Ohio State did not lose to the #1 team, but you know that.

Ohio State blew a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter to a team that was ranked 3 spots below them. THAT is a fact.

What are you talking about?
Who is ranked 1 today? On their resume they lost to #1
It doesn't matter where a team is ranked when you play them--it matters where they end up
They did blow a 20 point lead on the road against the team ranked #1. Texas would also still be about 6 had they lost
Why do so many people refuse to accept how things actually work?
Where did you think they would we ranked? Where do you think they should be?

Tennessee jumping four spots in the coaches poll for beating a Georgia Tech team that is now 0-2? interesting.

I feel like the AP poll got it right.

I don't know if anyone but ND will go undefeated because of their favorable schedule, playing their toughest games at home.
The SEC and B1G will eat their own as the season progresses.
