Talk about bias, USF was 19th preseason and has moved up just 2 spots. No chance we will have two top 15 teams in the AAC title game even if both teams win out. Wager that if Tiger win out they do not break into top 20, at best 21st due to P5 bias.

Look for Iowas St to jump us before season is over..

Iowa ST will not jump us if we win out.

USF hasn't really played any good teams so I understand the doubt by the voters.

UCF should be ahead of USF anyway. They'll prove it when they play USF, unless they lay an egg.

If both teams win out. Not only will Iowa St jump us but they will end up top 10 with 2 losses.

They’ll both be top 15 when they play each other if they win out. We will be top 20 at least by the championship game if we win out

I wouldn't say that...

We haven't just been blowing teams out either.

The night we played UCF we would have been lucky to beat anybody. The Tigers simply did not show up for that game, I highly doubt we would have beat USF on that night.

Agreed. We just didn't have "it" that night. It happens.

Of course they will, and rightfully so. I they were to win out (I'm guessing you mean regualar season), they would win @#23 WVU and beat #11 Oklahoma State. They have already beaten #10 Oklahoma and formerly ranked Texas Tech.

Last year in the final regular season poll, there were four teams with two losses and one with three losses in the top 10, so don't act like two losses disqualifies a team from being top 10.

Michigan and TAMU are where the bias shows up. Between the two of them, they've probably beaten one team total with a winning record. Miss State gets TAMU this week and could take care of them probably for good. But then MSU will probably leapfrog us.

TAMU isn't really that egregious.

In all reality there are very similar to Memphis.

A&M played @ UCLA and A&M lost in the last minute.
UCLA played @ Memphis and Memphis won in the last minute.

Neutral site all three teams would be even-ish.

Their other loss was by 8 to Bama. I can give them a pass on that one.

Bama's good. It's like they ask what the spread is and then stop scoring when they reach it.

And an undefeated G5 team which made it barely into top 15 in final regular season poll. This was after beating two B1g teams ON THE ROAD.

Two bad Big Ten teams.

MAC-on-Big Ten violence isn't rare.

Why are we discussing Iowa State? They will lose AT LEAST two more games this year. Maybe 3. And possibly 4.
