Unfortunately, I have to remind myself... this is aggie fan im talking to, and probably need to explain myself, so I dont get a response like "ZOMG HOW DARE YOU COMPARE TEXAS TO BAMA, BECAUSE BAMA PLAYS IN THE SEC SO THEY WOULD BEAT TEXAS 192 to -14 BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE SEC NOW!!!"
no, im simply saying that comparing how one team plays an opponent, to how another team plays an opponent doesnt always mean much of anything. football is such a game of matchups, that those kinds of comparisons sometimes simply arent fair. Oklahoma State, and basically any team with a mobile QB that utilizes options and zone reads in their offense are going to give Texas troubles, because of their inexperienced linebackers. OTOH, teams that play a more pocket oriented passing game are likely to have more issues, due to Texas' strength at secondary and d-line.
I'm not saying Texas is a top 10 team either. Too hard to say at this point. The only two teams that have seemed to stand out is Alabama and Oregon, and even then, neither of those teams have played any particularly good teams. Bama got a huge bunch of love for beating Michigan, who sucks ass and was ridiculously overranked to start the season. Arguably, the best opponent they played was Ole Piss actually, who doesn't have that terrible of a team, and has had a misfortune of playing both Texas and Bama early, but may actually be worthy of a rank by seasons end, as may Arizona and Okie State.
