Also, Wilner has the Cougs at #23: https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/10...-cases-for-texas-am-usc-and-washington-state/

Let's see if the Cougs can get in at #24 or #25 in the AP poll. Should come out soon.

Was it just the boot stomp Utah put on Arizona?

Other developments helped, too, like USC handling Colorado fairly easily. Makes our loss to USC look better and takes Colorado down a peg.

Coughs check in at 25 in the AP.

Adds more hype to the game to have both teams ranked. I wonder what the record is for Gameday home teams.

The coaches poll is a joke. Colorado is at 25 while SC is still back at 34 with two losses (#8 Texas, #24 Stanford)? How can anyone actually paying attention keep Colorado, who has beat nobody, in front of SC? There is no scenario where that makes sense.

I wonder how many real coaches vote, as opposed to athletic department toadies.

Coach or lackey... whoever is doing it is f’n lazy.

Athletic department toadies would probably give a better effort than coaches. Coaches watch their film and their opponents film they don’t give a rip what happened with LSU and Georgia.

From the link: "Home teams hold a 134-94 all-time record when featured on the show." Thanks 425! I had a feeling that might be the case. From what I've seen on social media, Martin stadium will be rocking.
