I know you're somewhat joking, but I was curious. They've actually been ranked really well the last few years: From the AP poll 2005 preseason-8th, Final-7th 2006 preseason-17th, Final-19th 2007 preseason-9th, Final-9th 2008 preseason-17th, Final-15th i'm surprised. maybe they work their way higher and then lay some eggs in october/november before doing well in a bowl game or something. just seems like they're overrated a lot. they're getting thoroughly outplayed in this game, but as usual their special teams have kept them in it. I was thinking the same thing when I saw they were rated 7th earlier in the week. Just seems like they always start out really highly ranked, lose a key game or two in conference play before finishing strong.
