That is just stupid. You travel to their home stadium, beat the snot out of them and they are ranked higher than you? What the hell. Does this guy even know who plays who on a given Saturday?

100% agreed. The obsession with the Sun Belt's "top tier" teams is astounding considering how bad they are compared to the rest of the G5 schools, mostly CUSA ones. It's as if people think they need to be ranked higher just because they suck less than others in their conference.

Who'd a thunk?

Hell, they didn't even bother to update UTEP's bi-line from last week. Yet praise Texas Tech?

Quote:Greg Tepper: The Miners almost stumbled late but made big plays when it mattered most to pull out a momentum boosting win over New Mexico. UTEP must be on Cloud 9 after last year’s disappointing season. Will there be more wins to come? If Aaron Jones keeps running over defenders, the answer is definitely.
