We got it right, at least for now. It’s only Week 2, and things will change wildly as the season goes on, but for now, we respect the results.
Is Tulsa better than Oregon? Nah, but that’s a thought – we can’t prove it. What we can prove is that Tulsa is 2-0, and it dominated Oklahoma State 24-10. Oregon beat Boise State in Week 1, and then got smacked by Ohio State 39-31. So Tulsa has to be ranked higher than Oklahoma State, and Oregon, and Boise State, and Memphis, and UNLV, and on from there.
There’s lots of other big movement in our Week 3 rankings from 26 to 138.
