All,
Tell me the Cougars didn't get the short end of the stick in the polls. =
Go on. Try it.
The Cougars, ranked 6th before the big game, played USC, ranked 3rd. =
Because the Trojans were ranked higher than the Cougs, Wazzu was =
supposed to lose. If they weren't supposed to lose, they would have been =
ranked 3rd. After the loss, however, they got dumped down to 13th.
That's all understandable. It's a given that if a team loses, they drop =
in the polls. But what happened to Virginia Tech last week when they =
lost to unranked West Virginia? They fell down to 11th. Then what =
happened to No. 2 Miami when they lost VT? They dropped to 7th. Miami =
was supposed to win, they got blown out, and dropped to 7th. The Cougs =
were supposed to lose, followed suit, and got booted from the ranks of =
the elite. What a crock. Does that make any sense? The Cougars get no =
respect.
And I haven't even gone off about the Pac-10 refs yet...
