Just to be fair, I think part of it is the higher place WKU finished last year (the Sagarin effect), and part of it is who beat them: 8-3 Louisiana Tech, Vandy, and Alabama.
In comparison, we didn't finish ranked last year, and we lost to: 6-4 MTSU, Arkansas, and Texas Tech.
Plus, their defense is shutting teams down better.
As I said in Bluedawg's Sagarin thread, I really do hope Sagarin will actually rank us higher than them when we beat them again after beating SoMiss, but if not then that's ridiculous!
If only we had not let MTSU and WKU back into the games...
Also, why did we lose our vote in the Coaches poll??!
