Well, sure it was an upset - but the Ducks were a top 15 team. I meant losing a game where you paid the other team to be there.
You mean like a dumb upset. 

Ducks were a two-TD underdog.

Because they finished last year ranked No. 19 and 21 and didn't lose all their players.
Horns did lose their QB and team leader

and then a coaching change

I didn't see the Jacksonville St @ FSU game, but FSU has had serious problems on the O-Line now for about the 5th year, and I could take an educated guess that's where the principal problem lies tonight.
Well the leadup to the end:
allows a WIDE OPEN 30 yd TD pass
can't get a 3rd and 1 to close the game out
played a normal defense vs a hail mary situation and simply got beat on a route to lose the game
.
GLORIOUS

True. I suppose at big schools, hope springs eternal with coaching changes, plus the listed talent is still there. 

Out of curiosity, if those teams were not ranked, you'd sub in Oklahoma State and Ole Miss. So I think in the end, there just aren't 25 teams we think should be top-25.

Texas got boat raced by Arkansas, and USC got spanked by Stanford. 

They aren't even close to sniffing the Top 50.

I was speaking of the preseason. 

If your complaint is about them being ranked after those losses, then yes, it would be very stupid if they're ranked at that point.

Any good? Probably. Good enough to push a team that's supposed to be as good as ND might be, probably not. 

I mean, unless they puke on the field, they're winning their other two non-conference games. They're usually pretty decent in the MAC, so 8-4/9-3 is likely, maybe 10-1 if everything comes together.

You glean a lot from a sample size of 1.

Fro said "sample size of one."

Everyone has to do a shot.
