First of all, Texas would beat the piss out of smug. No way for them to be ahead of UT and I also wish nothing but bad things for UT. Also, we handily win while playing on the other side of the country and we don't budge? Not just that, but the idiots involved in this poll have us grouped together with teams that were dominated by the team we just handily beat on the road. The putz' running this poll want 8-12 to stay at any variation of 8-12 as long as they don't break into the top 7 and God forbid into the top 5.

If I'm a voter, I'm thinking if they played 10 times, Houston would probably win 7 or 8 of them.

You don't have to agree with it, but that's probably their mindset.

Look up the full rankings 1-128 for college football. Campus Insiders has us still at 99 while Army still at 72. We didn't budge at all in their rankings either and they have have our updated records listed so the rankings were definitely made after Saturday. My guess is people view our win against Army as a fluke due to the fumbles which is uncharastic of Army. Due to our reputation, it's going to take more than a win against Army to move up in rankings.

Totally agree.

The putz' running the poll is probably the same putz' that gave 3-4 smu 1 vote in the AP top 25 poll.  Unbelievable.

When we don't have a national championship to worry about, rankings don't mean squat. Let's just keep winning our conference games, beat La Tech and Southern Miss, and get to the conference championship game and win a bowl and we will get the respect this team has deserved this year.
