I say #18

If we're not ranked above the whorns this week, then rankings are worthless.

Rankings only matter to the top 4 teams when they select the cfp teams..5-25 means nothing

Come on. For a program like ours (or others) who are trying to build back up, being ranked anywhere is very nice.

20. Both sides of the ball still need work. Particularly before they go to Stinkwater next week.

20 sounds about right.

I'm thinking about 18. I eyeball Texas at about 15. Rankings don't matter right now. Just take care of business and the rankings take care of themselves.

Lol!!! They're still Texas.....and we're still Baylor. They lost to an undefeated OU that will move up to at least a #5 or better ranking. We barely beat an unranked Texas Tech. Plus, go back to they're still Texas and we're still Baylor!

So far, the following ranked teams lost:

4 - Georgia
7 - Florida
11 - Texas
17 - Iowa
19 - Wake Forest
20 - Virginia
23 - Memphis
24 - Texas A&M (THANK GOD!!!)

If we had pounded Tech, we would move up a lot more, but I predict we move up to #20 (#19 if we're lucky).

Texas won't fall below #16 or #17.

I would much rather we inch our way up the polls. Ain't nothing worse than being in freefall and have all of the ESPN idiots then say, we all knew Baylor wasn't legit.

One game at a time!

Personally, I don't mind of Texas stays ranked pretty high so that when we beat them in November, the victory will be much sweeter and the media morons will have no choice but to acknowledge Baylor's accomplishment.

Where will we be ranked when the first CFP poll comes out is the question.

If we climb 6 spots that'd be good.

#16

#19. That's my guess.

Us at 19.

Horns 15, but they don't think they should drop any spots.
Agy, just average at best.

20 and the Horns stay ahead of us. I'm guessing the Horns at 17.

17-19 is pretty reasonable but who knows

Enjoy your misery.

What he wants people to know about Baylor football: I want people to see that Baylor is the class of college football. Record GPAs, 26 different majors, guys challenging themselves to be the best they can be. Guys working in the community and guys working to be the best they can be in football. Want people to know Baylor is a great place as a University. -Coach Matt Rhule

The coaches apparently see it as I did with regard to Baylor and Texas.

How am I in misery? I enjoy watching college football, and especially Baylor every year. I hope they make it in the top 4 when it's time to make the CFP selection. I don't care that much about the rest of the rankings after that. Glad to be 6-0

Getting jumped by Arizona State who has beaten what is looking like a not very good Cal team and a loss to a really not good Colorado team is suspect.

#18 in BOTH polls.

That must be part of Baylor's "United" campaign.

Many of those numbers are suspect. No surprises there.

Georgia lost to South Carolina & are still in the top 10!

It doesn't matter, if we keep winning we will move up while others lose. If we win on Nov 23, even after losing to OU, we will look very good and might get an OU rematch in December. But that's a long shot.
