Let's make this a more concrete discussion.  Auburn (#3) beat Maryland (#7)
by 12 points on a last few seconds touchdown on a fumble recovery.  Maryland
had shown on a previous drive that they could march 99 yards for a touchdown.
It was Auburn's homecoming.  Maryland is now 7-2.  In the coaches' poll,
Maryland was ranked #17 after that loss.  The sportswriters ranked them #11.
Seems that the coaches looked at the final score and/or don't take Bobby Ross
(the Maryland coach) very seriously.  Maryland is ranked just above North
Carolina (who plays a teribly weak schedule) and behind West Virginia (who
beat Maryland) and Pittsburg (beaten by Maryland when Maryland was using their
second string quarterback).  Now if Maryland loses to Clemson, maybe the
coaches were justified, but I think they aren't really paying much attention
to how other teams, particularly those that don't have national exposure, are
playing.
