Looks like are first ranked opponent next year will be the hawks.

Looks about right, although I'm surprised USC only got 1 #1 vote.

Glad Utah got some #1 votes, and glad that UT did not. Many folks down here are in a furor over the fact that UT got snubbed, but they didn't deserve it.

Agreed. They just about lost that game vs. OSU, and the other top Big XII teams (OU, TT, OSU) underperformed in their bowl games.

North Ruled, South Schooled.

Did Ohio State actually go up in the rankings by losing? I think they were 10th in the last poll and now 9th....

I understand they played UT close but I still dont think a team should go up in the polls for losing

I'd normally agree with you, but in this case I don't know how much lower you can rank them. I can see ranking Oregon higher, but I don't think you could justify anything lower than that.

And UT went down for winning. So opinions changed.
