Wasn't Ratto a huge WVa man last year too?  I seem to remember him being among the two voters who consistently ignored Florida, Ohio State, and Michigan and kept going with the Mountaineers.

Really? You think Oklahoma rolls Rutgers? I don't claim to know both teams' ins and outs, but I would take Rutgers if they were, say, a 6 point dog.

You also took Minnesota and the 16 against BG, so there goes that

I don't know about rolls. I probably over emphasized a bit, but I bet the spread in that game is 6-7 on a neutral site. Ray Rice hasn't faced a solid run defense.

Rutgers Defense couldn't handle the Sooners speed and power on Offense. Ray Rice wouldn't get 50 yards. Sooners would roll by 14+. Ok now enough of being a Sooner homer but for once I think that the pollsters got it right overall. There are a few here and there voters that probably should have their vote taken away but hey whose to say we could do better .

This gets much more fun as we go when voters start neglecting head to head matchups, etc. I would say that for the most part these week was far better than many last year. Still, someone ranking Michigan 16th takes the cake.

John Moredich is based out of Tucson, so if anything, his bias would be against the Sun Devils. He'd probably have ASU at #1 if he wasn't in U of A land.

LOL I see! So now I've sacrificed all college football credibility for having too much faith in the Golden Brewsters? I will never take Minnesota minus the points again.

You deserved at least two shots ... so now I'm done.

Are you friggin crazy Rutgers over OU smoke some more of whatever your smoking.

I'm fine with the fact some of the voters still ranked Michigan.  There's still a lot of talent on that team despite the loss last Saturday.  They'll go on to beat a few ranked teams before it's over.

However, despite the amount of talent on the team, they still lost to an FCS team.  There are well over 25 teams who did not lose to an FCS team last week, so it's understandable that the Wolverines drop out of the top 25.  I'd drop them out, too.

Different voters use different criteria in ranking teams, as we all do when we assess all things in life.  Some go by talent, some go by results.  It's best not to cry about who voted Michigan where, because the main point is that they're out of the poll overall.

You need reading lessons, my friend. I never said Rutgers would beat Oklahoma. However, after losing to Boise State last year, I find it impressive that "Sonner" fans can be so dismissive of Rutgers.

And remember Appalachain State beat Michigan so Rutgers beating Oklahoma is definitely not out of the question!

lmao. Rutgers needs to worry about their teams at hand and we might meet in a bowl sometime.

Sonner? Who are the Sonners? Boise St. would have beaten Rutgers in that Bowl Game had they played. Last year is over and what happened last year has no bearing on this year.

Check out Okieday's headline for the "Sonners" reference.

 

And you are right, last year has little to do with this year. So, if Rutgers and OU were to play tomorrow, what would you set the line at? I have already said that I'd make OU a 5 or 5 1/2 point favorite.
