what a joke of a poll, lose one game to another Top 15 team and we fall out. This poll loses a bunch of cred, to bad the NCAA uses it to choose teams, hope the girls go and torch Denver this weekend, of course Denver will rpobably not fall out of course.

The poll is based on strength of schedule, so falling from 13th to 17th to a team that was ranked lower seems fairly reasonable.

The one that seems to be overvalued is Kansas but I don't know what their schedule has been. Could be they've played many more ranked teams than anyone else.

Since Denver is #6, they shouldn't fall from the Top 15 if they lose to us.

I just can't be convinced that we go 12 to 17, based on the records of others in this list....... Arkansas, come on???? Guess it is too much to think that 3 lowly Sunbelt conf teams could be that good...... MTSU beat us on the road, broke a UNT winning streak and broke a huge UNT home winning streak spanning parts of three seasons. Do not be fooled that they are a 14 team either. Stat wise they are better in performance than their ranking indicates or many others above them for that matter. Guess we can climb all the way back to our original 15 if we can beat Denver ..... I'm betting Denver will fall all the way to the same position if we win.

No worries on any of this any longer. Gonna have to win three in a row to even have a shot at getting back into any poll....... we really flamed out at the wrong time.
