Can someone explain the Texas Tech rankings in relation to WVU?

  • 24 of 60 voters have WVU higher and many of them by a considerable enough spread that WVU is ranked higher than a team that beat them 49-14.

    Here is my favorite poll anomaly

    Rob Long: WVU 16, TTech Unranked
    Mark McCarter: : WVU 17, TTech Unranked
    Kyle Ringo: : WVU 18, TTech Unranked
    Kyle Meinke: WVU 14, TTech Unranked
    Jermey Sampson: WVU 18, TTech Unranked
    Adam Zucker: WVU 14, TTech Unranked
    Ira Schoffel: WVU 13, TTech 25
    Scott Wolfe:: WVU 13, TTech 24
    John Clay: WVU 16, TTech 24
    Ferd Lewis : WVU 15, TTech 24
    Chris Murray: WVU 12, TTech 24
    Carrie Anderson: WVU 16, TTech 24
    Brent Axe: WVU 13, TTech 23
    Joe Walljasper: WVU 15, TTech 22
    Ben Frederickson: WVU 14, TTech 22
    Brandon Marcello: WVU 17, TTech 21
    Hays Carlyon: WVU 17, TTech 21
    Harry Plumer: WVU 15, TTech 21
    Garland Gillen: WVU 13, TTech 21
    Cecil Hurt: WVU 16, TTech 20
    Robert Cessna: WVU 14, TTech 18
    Charles Davis: WVU 14, TTech 18
    John Werner: WVU 14, TTech 17
    Harold Gutmann: WVU 11, TTech 17

    This. In a perfect world the "better team" would win every time. But if some 9-0 team were to get upset by a 2-7 team, do you REALLY think that means the 2-7 team is better?

  • Example: OSU gave up 490 yards and barely beat Indiana 49-52, yet we are ranked 7th in the AP poll

  • One game doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but I don't understand in what way wvu should be higher.

    If they beat the said 9-0 team as bad as Texas Tech beat WVU then I would have to say yes.

    If it was a 3 point game I would agree with you. Texas Tech beat the fvck out of WVU.

  • Its not like tech is a 4 loss team. They are a 1 loss team. Same as WV and spanked them pretty bad head to head.

    This is especially true if the 1 game was played at home like it was for Texas Tech. Does anybody believe Texas Tech would have beaten West Virginia if the game was played in Morgantown? I do not

    I don't consider a home field advantage to typically be 35 points.

    I don't think any West Virginia fan would agree with that idiotic statement. Auburn fans hate to see Tubby have success without them.

  • Cecil Hurt seems to have the right thinking IMO.
