Sounds about right, given the Alabama result.

 

[RunninRichie]

Beat South Alabama and South Carolina and we are ranked.

 

[TigerMoving]

That's fair. We will probably be ranked next week assuming we handle our business against S Alabama.

 

[BBNinSCar]

There seems to be a Big 10 bias lately. No way USC is 12 or Penn St is #13. That conference does include the last 3 champions, but they are still a distant second to the SEC.
You can have an easy Big10 schedule, like Penn St or Indiana- there are no easy SEC schedules.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Coached ranked uk 30th but crappy Oklahoma 24th.

Only poll that matters now is playoff ranking anyways.

 

[JPFisher]

Beat South Alabama and South Carolina and we are ranked.

Honestly, beating the brakes off of South Alabama would probably do it.

Ten SEC teams ranked.

 

[Snarks]

We have a good chance of being ranked next week

 

[CUJO_1970]

Can’t have any letdown at all against South Alabama. Kentucky needs to absolutely crush them - the way Spurrier used to crush Curry.

 

[meteordealer]

One bad quarter against Bama cost us.

One bad quarter against Bama cost us.

It's pretty interesting when you think about it.

In 6 out of 8 SEC quarters so far we either manhandled or outplayed 2 Top-10 SEC teams. That bounce-back on the road is significant.

I think Stein needed to see us against some real competition, before he could determine our weaknesses. It seems a lot of things got corrected since the Bama game.

I just hope what we saw yesterday was more about UK being good and less about aTm struggling. They didn't handle Arizona State very easily either.

But if this team can crush South Alabama and beat South Carolina, they should catch a top 25 spot, but with our schedule, it probably won't last long.

This will be Stein's weakest team, we just need to take whatever good things we can get this year. There will be more high's, but more low's too. I'm very happy with what Stein brings to the table, I am looking forward to where he is going to take this program in the years to come.

Not here to totally disagree but they beat Arizona State by 28 points.. lol

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- —The defense scored twice in the fourth quarter as No. 10 Texas A&M pulled away late for a 48-20 victory over Arizona State on Saturday.

The Aggies led by 4 at the end of three quarters before Reed threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Mario Craver on the second play of the fourth quarter to make it 31-20.

So would you say the same about us?? Alabama barely beat us??

There’s 4 quarters to football, you don’t get moral victories for hanging in the game for 3 of them. They won by 4 touchdowns.

Alabama kicked our *** and A&M kicked Arizona States ***.

 

[Cats_2010]

Kind of funny seeing Missouri and Mississippi State ranked in the top 25. UK beats #9 on the road by 10 while being 16.5 point underdogs and state wins at unranked USCjr by 7 while being 3 point dogs and of course the pollsters favor the win over an unranked opponent. Missouri has played no one and struggled at home against Troy so yeah let’s put them in there too.

The OP didn't post barely beat and I did not post barely beat, that came from you.

The term he used and I agree is that ASU and UK were not easily handled by A&M and Ala.

ASU and UK were in the game for 3 quarters and into the fourth quarter with an opportunity to win,

That is competing.

That is not being handled easily.

IMHO. Being handled easily is being outscored badly in the first half and never in a position to get the win. It means the substitutes are fired up for the second half because they know they are getting into the game today.

 

[Padsfs07]

Yeah a couple of lower ranked teams will lose next wek. Florida plays Ole Miss. Iowa and Michigan play each other. A&M is at LSU. Missouri is at Miss St and Oregon is at USC.

Barely handled means barley beat..

We both were handled easily, the game doesn’t end until the final tick. Neither of us were in position to win. Being in position to win means that you are only a score or 2 down in the 4th quarter.

Stoops instilled mediocrity into some of you and now you’re clueless about things, I get it..

“But we were winning in the 2nd quarter so we hung with them”

Yeah, they did get it done in the end, but it was a very tight game through 3 quarters.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I think we could* be ranked after South Alabama depending on how other games shape up. We will be ranked if we beat them and at South Carolina, though.

I agree Stein made some good adjustments but in reality Alabama is a significantly better team than A&M.
