Texas dropped 20 points to fall to 1404. USC's big win over OSU has them just 8 points behind Texas. Expect similar things from the Coaches Poll.

Oklahoma State falls to 16; Houston moves in at 21.

UPDATE: As noted in the comments, the Coaches Poll is out and Texas is at #2. They lost just 8 points from last week, while USC gained 16. USC picked up 3 first place votes; Texas had none.

I wouldn't say that. All teams have bad games.

I wouldn’t have voted Tech ahead of Texas last year after the game. Although Houston did win on the road.

Also, losing on a last second TD is different than losing the way OSU did.

Furthermore, voting Tech below Texas after the game last year is absolutely unconscionable.

Are you saying . . .

. . . in the poll immediately after the Texas-Tech game, you would have kept a one-loss Texas team ahead of an undefeated Tech team which had just defeated Texas?!?

I think if there was any week that we get jumped by USC

then this was it. If USC comes out and spanks Cal in a couple weeks and we struggle with Tech and OU then perhaps then, but I don’t think we need to worry.

agree on that

there are benefits from not being on the national tv, however we should trump tech this week
