That win against Scum definitely doesn't look as good as it did then.

The problem with the polls is that they got to #1, in part, by beating #10 *ichigan. Now, we don't care what happens to *ichigan - Texas is still #1 (until the next polls come out). So they'll fall from #1 in the next polls, but their foundation of beating *ichigan will still be there. They'll only drop to #5, or something around there.
Human polls look at where a team was last week, and change the ranks based on what they did this week. They rarely, if ever, look at the entire season. I think the only time I can remember them looking at more than last week was when Kirk Herbstreit dropped Ohio State 5 spots after beating Arkansas, because Wisconsin lost and he dropped them 5 spots, and Wisconsin should be ahead of Ohio State because Wisconsin beat Ohio State earlier.

Ken Doll dropped Ohio State five spots after beating Arkansas because he's a fake Buckeye.

The pundits love to talk about Ohio State has "beaten nobody"

But their precious Texas current best win is fucking UL Monroe

Theres a legit chance they could finish the year without a single top 25 win.

Wont stop them from getting into the playoff though with 2 losses if it shakes out that way.
