I don’t understand rankings. If you really think that Texas is the best team in college football as the rankings indicate, and last week you thought the best team was Ohio State, then how do they drop to 6 after a 1-point loss in Austin? Georgia has two wins and no losses, but a one-point loss at the best team’s stadium is more impressive to me than beating Tennessee State and WKU by a million. It’s never clear to me what these polls are actually supposed to measure

It’s most likely that they choked. Big time. Had it been a close game the entire game then a 1 point loss would have looked better.

Ohio blew a 20 point lead. If they had been neck and neck all game the loss would have been viewed differently.
