I think OU will be somewhere around 10. I believe the Texas win will keep them around that mark. The KU loss isn’t as bad as we all see it as evident by the recent coaches and AP poll. Had KU been the KU of old and we lost then OU would have taken a big drop.
In the end I dont think it will matter after this next weekend because unless this team plays better than they have the last two weeks they wont leave Stillwater with a W.

I would say around 10 is about right. Something has happened to this team after the Texas game but hey a 10 - 2 year is acceptable this season correct? Even with a weak schedule

The players like a lot of fans started to believe they were a lot better than they actually are. Rat Poison.
OU also became the hunted again after the texass win, they can't handle it.
I never give up on the Sooners, but to see them ranked in the top 10 is kind of embarrassing. I don’t even want to see them ranked this week. I propose that the AP poll should work something like this. It would no longer be "The AP Top 25". It's now "The AP Best Teams" of an ever-shrinking list. As long as you stay undefeated, you are eligible to be ranked. If your team loses, you’re kicked out of the polls until the next week. If you win next week, we’ll vote to put you somewhere on the list. If you lose again, you’re still not a “best team”. If your losses mount, you won’t be ranked for the rest of the season, so shut up and get better.

All polls are opinions just like the CFP is. Think about this, in this age we are in, if your not in the top 4 the rest really means nothing except maybe for recruiting purposes and fan bragging. Name brand is a big influence with the voters.
There isnt a whole lot separation from teams ranked 10 to 30 anyway. The biggest problem with CFB is we dont see enough matchups from the supposed big boys in the polls in OOC play.

Do you feel better that the Coaches Poll has us at 11, just behind Ole Miss and just head of the two loss Domers?

This about sums it up. We’ll probably have to scratch and claw our way to every other win this season. If we end up winning 10 games, it will be a blessing. Then hope for a fair chance at a winnable bowl game.

A few more games like KU and we won't have to worry about being in a poll. Might cost us some recruits as well. Oklahoma please remove heads from asses. Thanks!
We don’t need to worry about polls now, IMO. A one loss B12 team doesn’t have much of a chance of making the playoffs, and if that happened, the chance of winning one game would be remote.
Very true, Bama.
There at least ten teams right now that are better than OU.
That's no reflection on Venables. Just reality.

Yep just keep working and all that other stuff takes care of itself.
May have been what this team needed, a little humility may just give them that edge they need to finish strong. Hoping so anyway. Lots of teams would love to be 7-1 right now.
You made my point more clearly. I didn’t want to state it so bluntly. Thank you. We agree!!
