Maybe I should go to Mass before doing ranking ...

[coolerifyoudid]

1. TCU
2. Oklahoma
3. Oklahoma State
4. West Virginia
5. Iowa State
6. Texas
7. Texas Tech
8. Kansas State
9. Baylor
10. Kansas

This is what I would have right now as well.

Some want to put OU/OSU/TCU in a top tier, but I'm hesitant to do that until I see a few more match-ups play out. I'm not sold on the big talent gap this year just yet. Every team has exploitable flaws from what I've seen. TCU looks the most solid, so I'm curious to see how we fare against them.

So you're running with the copout answer. Well played.

Exactly. If that's the answer you're going with, why have this thread? You can just copy the standings each week instead.

It's bad that I saw the word "mass" in the title and assumed there was another shooting.

Well, I read, "...before dranking" at first glance.

I hate to back Surly, but Im pretty sure he means when two teams are as close to one another as ISU and Texas are, you use head to head. Right now I would put Texas ahead of ISU, but its very close.

Don't disagree with the logic, just surprised anyone thinks it's close right now.

By the same logic, we should be ahead of Oklahoma. As it stands right now, we are tied for 2nd by the only rankings that matter. And nice backhanded slap by the OP. "TCU until beaten in postseason" Such a troll.

Well, in a round robin this all plays itself out. That's one of the great things about this league. We'll see soon enough.

That's not how power rankings work.

 

[CyDude16]

Um, yeah that happened.

Apparently jimlad needs to come back.

KU is rudderless. Just hot garbage. Not sure they'll score another point this season. You guys realize they played with a running clock in the second half of the TCU game, right? BU has two things KU doesn't, good coaching and some talent.

I think they ended up with <50 yards of offense. That's a whole new level of IDGAF.

I think you were serious and this is your way of pretending you weren't.

I think it was 7.

And I thought getting only 106 total yards vs. ISU was hard to believe.

Texas beat us, and is 2-2 in conference with loses coming by 5 to the #12 team in the nation, and 3 in OT by the #10 team in the nation. They also lost to the #4 team in the nation by 3 in OT. They also held one of the best offenses in the Country to 10 points in regulation. 2 of our 3 conference wins have come against what will likely be the 8th and 10th place teams in the conference. Texas is a good team, and should be ahead of ISU, mainly because they beat them head to head. However, the two teams are close.

For the record, Id go...

1. TCU
2. WSU
3. OU
4. WVU
5. UT
6. ISU
7. KSU
8. TT
9. BU
10. KU

I don't know that pointing out a bunch of losses is going to convince me, it's at least going to take a better argument than "they lost to a lot of teams by a little bit". The USC game looks less impressive every week, and looking at who they've beaten ISU is easily their best win.

They're coming around and could definitely end up with the better season but right now ISU clearly has the better resume.
