Perhaps I'm just a delusional sports fan, and perhaps I answered my own question, but given their track record in the last 3 years, and the fact they have a new coach, how in the world does texas still get #23?

There is no reason to have a fixation on where Texas and Oklahoma State are ranked every year....or even OU, for that matter.
Two reasons why:
All three teams haven't played up to expectations in recent years and winning the Big 12 championship is not that big of a deal as it once was.
I do not believe OU should be ranked number 7 at this time, mainly because of the loss of three players....franchise players.....who comprised 40 % of OU's offense a year ago.

All valid points, but I hardly think one question qualifies as a "fixation" on the matter.

There have been numerous comments on other threads here about where Texas and Oklahoma State are ranked.

Not that I've paid any attention to, but whatever. I suppose taking care of business on the field will settle any of those issues.

It's the crappy AP Poll (full of bias driven blow hards) and not a down has been played. I pay it no mind.
