That is the good news, the bad news is they have to play at Ok St this weekend.

I guess it is worse to be 5th and lose to #2 (UT) than it is to be 7th and lose to #1 (Cal). Also, since Tennessee just beat UGA, and they sport identical records, why are they ranked behind the 'Dawgs?

I know, it's just a poll.

Do you think the Ag's are better than Mizzou? They have the same record and in the other poll (USA Today Coaches Poll), their positions are transversed.

jalbre, I am not sure if A&M is better than the Tigers or not. They do not play them this year, unless they meat in Big 12 Championship(It could happen). The Ok St game is a litmus test, if the Aggies win that game, then they can beat UT or OU on a given day; if they lose, then they will have another test against Tech, who I think they can beat even thought Tech looked great at home this last weekend.
