Sully Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm confused about something and hoping someone can explain it. On ESPN.com, I look at the rankings and see that OSU is ranked 2 in the AP Poll. I then look at the schedule of games for tonight and it says Oklahoma State at (2) Texas.

Pedro1647545510 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think it has to do with the USA Today and the AP Polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Kinda like college football how there is a coaches poll and an AP poll. Besides it only matters where you finish in march lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicranium Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 ESPN is affiliated with the coaches poll so they use that. Other networks will use the AP's rankings. Then once BCS rankings are available during the college football season, some networks will use that instead. There's not one ranking that gets used universally.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 ^^ What he said, rankings are nothing more than a way to hype up games. It makes for better ratings when you put #1 xx vs #3 xx than if you were to put xx vs xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
