- ours is big non-conferance games against ranked foes, and yes losing in 2 recent National title games.

- some other programs like saaaayyyyy O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A loses big games as well, and get blown out

- and then theres the media darlin U-S-C, ahhh yes . They seem to lose to a non-ranked conference foes year to freaking year. And get a pass.

…………its apples and oranges folks.

Here is my issue with the polls from this week. Yes its crap who shot above us, that doesnt really irk me as much as this: We dropped 2 spots, while Cincinnati gained 3. Now how is that fair/possible? You would think from those facts that either a) we barely won our game as opposed to an absolute blowout or b) UC beat some good or highly ranked team. Whereas neither of those happened. Now this bothering me is helped slightly by the fact that I live in Cincinnati and have to hear everyday that “UC could beat them thur Buckeyes this yur”. Still, I know this is an odd year and yes a 3-0 “BCS” team should be ranked given the upsets. I just dont get why they were given a pass and moved up, whereas we got moved down. Apparently squeeking by a mediocre Oregon State team whose best offensive weapon is injured is ground for an incredible jump up the polls. Where as keeping the nations 7th ranked offense to half its yards and out of the endzone gets you dropped. As our friend Walter would say “I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck…”
