I can't really blame the Coaches Poll for putting Clemson above us. They're gooood.
Baylor got the win in Manhattan on Thursday night, maintaining their undefeated status for yet another week. With so many undefeated teams going down on Saturday, the win is especially important. Then again, with Alabama and Notre Dame being ranked ahead of Baylor last Tuesday, maybe a loss isn't bad?
