Re: Weekly Polls thread updated week 8
Tech is being propped up by that Tennessee win.

We haven’t beaten anyone in the top 50 and have one awful loss on our resume. If Arkansas and Florida were as good as some people think, our resume would be much better, but neither of them is very good. Arkansas is ranked behind every Big 12 team, for perspective.

Not sure which ranking you're referring to, but Sagarin has Arkansas at 39, just seven spots behind OU and ahead of four Big 12 teams.
He has Florida at 31, one above OU and ahead of five other Big 12 teams.
He has Utah State at 55 and Butler at 110--(that's the one that really stings).
Is it possible for us to lose tomorrow and our ranking goes up?
Yes. A grinder/nailbiter on the road at the #1 team in the nation will turn some heads and help with your overall computer poll #s.
Talk about motivation. You go on the road and challenge the #1 team in their building and beat #9 by 13 points, and you can't squeak into the top 25. Moser is probably eating this up.
Two horrid road performances last week but only drop four spots in the NET. Playing in this conference is brutal on your record, but very helpful in the metrics.
