Coaches Poll has Alabama rated ahead of Texas

[KySooner]

I don't understand how any coach could rate Alabama ahead of Texas.... The oranges beat Bama at Bama by double digits!

Recency Bias ............. That combined with the fact that Texas now has a large mudhole where their aces used to be. A mudhole like that could cripple their future performances.

Ok good points, but I would apply “inexplicable stupidity” to such a ranking.

I can already hear the whining and gnashing of teeth coming from south of the Red River! Music to my ears, I tell ya!

Maybe it is an attempt to find a way to motivate the horns come the Big 12 to beat OU. Maybe it is just a fact that they think Bama is a better team than Texas, who knows?

If OU keeps growing through the regular season Venables team might have the time to beat Texas a 2nd time. I was really impressed with the overall defense. This was the best defense since the first defenses Stoops had. A with-out for OU would create a huge opportunity to put top recruiting in the next couple of years.

I went out to Surley last night and read their thread for the game. It was 91 pages long and read like a schizophrenic's diary. They were confident going in, then they were bashing Ewers, the coaching staff and the referees. By halftime they had decided that the two interceptions were a fluke and they were a second half team. Their confidence had returned. Then there was more bashing Sark and the refs until the go ahead field goal with 1:17. Then they were gloriously singing the praises of all involved but that didn't last long. Then there was stunned disbelief and many, many obscenities. It was glorious. I was going to copy some highlights and bring them here to read but there were just too many and they required too much vocabulary editing.

Sark is a pretty good coach. I know the next meeting in Dec. will be another classic. The whorns will think they have patched all the holes, only to find that Brent & Lebby will have moved the target with a new plan to exploit the whorns.

Don't you know? Alabama is SEC strong and Texas isn't SEC ready!
