    I know its a meaningless preseason beauty contest but fourth?

    Looks about right to me, though in my mind Kansas State and TCU should switch places. Surprised at so much love for Oklahoma State, but I guess OU may step back a little with Westbrook, Mixon and Perine in the NFL

    Crockett.

    Your skepticism of oSu is understandable for any Longhorn fan because it has been so very long since we have seen a coaching staff develop HS players into legitimate D-1 and NFL prospects rather than spoiled, pampered, "the jersey says Texas so roll over and play dead" could've beens. Mike Gundy is a real coach,and a damn good one.

    I'd rather be 4th and 'out perform' expectations than I would be higher and underwhelm...

    It's weird. A decade ago I would have laughed at that, but I'm so desensitized now, I actually think being rated 4th is pretty good.

    Not only 4th but look at the point gap from 3rd to 4th. If the season ends up like this some of the shine will be off the Herman bloom (just saying). IMHO Texas needs to at least split the Oklahoma schools to keep the momentum building. Beating SC and ou will ease the pain of losing to OSU, K-State and TCU and make it clear that Texas is finally on the way back.
