that kept going on about how awesome Memphis is this year, when they best us? Grant it, they were undefeated at the time, but my how that ship has sailed. At least the Memphis fans in my area have finally shut up.

I thought they were pretty good and still do.. They lost 3 games to 3 ranked teams... Lost by a point to a team that beat Vandy 34-0.. Beat a bad team 63-0 today, but if it were that easy everybody would do it.. I think their QB broke an NCAA record with 7 TD passes in the first half. They were up 56-0 at the half, but yeah sure, they are hot garbage if you want to believe that... Glad Fuente took the VA Tech job...

Huh?

Temple was ranked when they played Memphis, but dropped out until wining last week.

Houston was not, and has not yet been ranked since playing Memphis. Grant it, they are likely to be ranked after whipping Navy.

Navy wasn't ranked when they beat Memphis, they got ranked after beating them... And we're obviously over-rated, looking to drop out after Houston whipped them.

Neither of these are stellar teams. Thogh by your definition they must be awesome having beat Memphis. Please!

Houston was ranked #24 when they played Memphis. Fell out when the lost to Uconn last week. They will be ranked again now certainly.

Again, Houston is ranked.. Every team listed is or has spent time in the top 25... I am not trying to prove their worth.. Don't have time and frankly don't care enough. If your definition of a "good team" is limited to playoff contenders in week 12, then none of them are worth a crap... By that definition there are like 6 good teams in the country.. It is pretty funny that you of all people try to call people out for being "wrong", which in this case, is almost beyond reproach.. I wonder why VA Tech jumped on a coach so early from such a crappy team? To each his own I guess...
