TX gets one above the recently 15th-ranked Michigan, and should thank it's lucky stars for that!
err, i mean TX deserves to be ranked one slot better than MI
Michigan had a brutal schedule. The Ohio State loss hurt them, for sure, however they were no pushover. It wasn't as mismatched as say, Utah and Pitt (the dark side of BCS rankings--suddenly irrelevant conferences with locked-in bids; let's face it, neither Pitt or ViTech deserved a BCS).
If you look at how the Big 12 did, Tech and UT really honored the conference. I-State, too. Can't say the same for the two Oklas and that other Texas school.
