A 6-4 Texas team which has been beaten by L.S.U. (45-38) and Oklahoma (34-27) and T.C.U. (37-27) and Iowa freaking State (23-21) is currently ranked # 19 in the absurd excuse for a college football playoff ranking. Yet 9-1 Boise State is ranked two spots BELOW this 6-4 Texas team - which will almost certainly be 6-5 after next weekend's trip to play AT # 13 ranked and 9-1 Baylor.

Well, that's because you lost to a BYU team with a losing record....and played literally no one else.

Have the CFP rankings been released this week?

I agree somewhat. That does seem high for 6-4 no matter the quality losses if you want to call them that. I would watch out for a slip up though. Tough home game loss to the Sooners after being up 20+ points. Emotional and no longer undefeated. Texas has nothing to lose. Watch out.

Maybe their thinking is Texas would be 9-1 with BSU's schedule, if not 10-0?

But agree with 4 losses it does seem kind of high.

maybe we should wait until the new rankings come out before we bitch about where teams are ranked that have a new loss.

Texas wont be in the top 25 in the new rankings tonight.....

Though I'd agree that Texas being 19 last week was a bit absurd

I'm just glad they don't use rankings to pick the NFL playoffs.

That ranking was when they were 6-3. New rankings come out tonight

If you want respect then you have to play at noon eastern time. Everyone knows this.
