    We are the highest ranked team with 3 losses
    Next opp ISU is #18
    ou is #6 and WVU is #7, both ahead of tOSU (which is pissing them off pretty good)
    Could not find aggy
    But the real Army made it to #28 - I think it would be cool if they finished in the top 25

    I think the pollsters are discounting the Maryland loss.

    So close against WV and beating OU. Gotta take care of ISU.

    We are # 13 in the AP. The B 12 is looking good, too. Four teams in the top 20.

    Everything was blown out by the NFL
    The ratings for SNF, with 2 teams now both 4-5, drew higher than the college games + any NBA Finals, World Series or Stanley Cup Finals game this year.

    Well, wasn't that the current Super Bowl champions versus the most popular/valuable sports franchise in the world? In a rivalry game for a chance to stay alive for playoffs? Not like it was Ravens vs. Falcons, also 4-5 teams.

    Not ranked in CFP for one. No idea what their SOS is, though.

    I think it depends on what day you calculate it. This site has aggy at #2 currently. You'd have knocked off a top 10 team had you beaten Auburn, Wisconsin, or Miami at the start of the season. Played today you'd be facing an outranked opponent. SOS does its best work as a hindsight statistic I guess.

    I think they recalculate it each week by how teams have performed all year. I don't think it matters where they were when you played them.
