Everyone in the west but State and A&M in.

Well can you blame them? We don't have anybody but Dak.** but it amazes me that a team with an untested, inexperienced QB is 15th. I don't think I've ever seen a single recruiting class get more publicity than that one

It means naught, zero, nothing. We beat LSU, Auburn, & Texas A&M in a row again, and we're probably back to no. 1, or close to it.

Yep- lets handle our bidness and we will be right back where we should be.
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

The only team from a P-5 conference to win 10 games last year (there were 16 of them) and be outside the top 25.

Guys.. last year we were picked #36 and finished 25 spots higher at #11.
This year we are picked #26... print the t-shirts.

Arkansas is so overrated. Wow. From 7-5 to #18 in the country.

After losing their best 3 players on defense and best running back.

I like the way you think. Arithmetic rules.

Hell I still hear some mention that year with Snead where they were 8th or whatever.

Yup. They actually started at #6, I believe, and got all the way up to 4 (without actually playing anyone), before getting trounced by SC.
A buddy of mine framed the SI cover of Snead, and the one of Nutt (looking down his sunglasses all sleazily, lol), from that summer. Not just a frame from Walmart, though, that wouldn't cut it; he had it framed and custom matted with the OM university seal and everything. Couldn't hang out at his house without him pointing it out.
It was sad though....he was so convinced they were winning the NC that year, I don't think he's ever emotionally recovered, lol.

It would not surprise me that by the end of the season that all 7 teams in the SECW are ranked in the top 25.

The only thing I blame them for is the lack of research and the overall pure lazy.

Exactly. Destroy USM, move into 18-22 range depending how many in the bottom half lose the first week.
LSU is #14 and will jump to #12 or so after beating Mcneese. We beat LSU and jump ahead of them into 12-15 range.

Not disagreeing with you, but we had a lot of things fall into place to move into #1 that quickly as far as other people losing. This year, we could go undefeated through week 5 and still be outside of the top 5.
OSU will not have been tested yet unless they lose at Va Tech and we won't get moved ahead of them after what they did last year. TCU has Texas Tech and Texas. Baylor has Texas Tech. FSU doesn't have any real big tests. That's four teams that should be undefeated through week 5 and that we would not likely jump.
Then you have Michigan State and Oregon whose only test is each other, so one of them will likely stay ahead of us putting us at #6.
UGA and Bama face each other so one of them will be below us, but Bama will also have tests against Wisconsin and UM, so it's possible both could fall below us. So either #6 or #7.
CLemson has UL and Notre Dame so two opportunities to fall but if they do win, that will probably be enough to keep them ahead of us. USC has Stanford and Arizona St so two tests but also a chance to stay ahead of us, so between the two of those teams, a decent chance that we'll be #7 or #8 at that point even if we're undefeated.
Obviously not all of those things will happen, but there will also be some surprise teams that will be undefeated (Arizona St. for example has a tough schedule but would end up ahead of us if they're undefeated). I wouldn't expect to be higher than 4th or 5th if we are undefeated through week five.
Still "close" depending on your definition, just thought it was worth noting that we will not necessarily skyrocket up the polls like we did last year.
