They really shouldn't because even though we were raneed at the time we turned out to be a very average team this year. The same is true of usc and Stanford for utah. Your only ranked win was against ucla. You have gotten blown out recently by oregon and arizona. That is not the resume of a team that deserves to be ranked under any scenario.
If that were the case arkansas would deserve to be ranked. No team with 4 or more losses should ever be ranked, no matter who it is or what league they're from.
