Never say never. From no votes whatsoever to #31 in the AP in two weeks. Stranger things have happened. Truth is, UT does not deserve to be ranked. But, looking at the past 4 games, they are playing as well as maybe the best 20 teams in the country. Again, I;m not saying they are one of the top 20 teams, but they've played that way in their past 4. Win out, and they get Iowa or Penn State. Win that, and I'd have to believe they finish in the top 15-20, which is miles ahead of where anyone expected them to be. They're "#31" in the AP poll, but they only appeared on 5 ballots. I'd be surprised if they weren't ranked with a 9-4 finish, but voters don't view close losses the same way we do unless it happens to have happened that week.
