Frankly, I am a little surprised that SMU isn’t getting more love. Sure, the loss to Houston looked bad, but after the Cougars knocked off previously undefeated South Florida, can’t you argue for both programs to at least be the ‘receiving votes’ portion of the Top 25? Meanwhile, the Frogs suffered their first loss, but because of the Aggies ineptitude and the Longhorn’s season-long struggles, they hold on to the top spot. For now.
- TCU (7-1): Sometimes you have to win ugly, but what happens when you don’t? The Horned Frogs remain atop the rankings despite their putrid performance Saturday for several reasons: they are still a top ten team, they are the only ranked team in the state, and they beat every team on this list in a head-to-head, neutral site matchup.
