    The word you're looking for is "played," not "beaten."

    Unless Vanderbilt is in the next BCS top 10.

    At the time Texas A&M wasn't ranked. Now they are. Does that count? It only proves that aTm -- with a win against No. 1 Alabama -- is pretty good.

    Yes, that counts. They're one of the two--LSU and A & M--a I pointed out before. I have no idea what you are looking at. The only other team now in the Top 10 they've played is Georgia, who beat them.

    They beat South Carolina 44-11 when the Cocks were No. 7.

    Songbird is correct. These are the BCS standings entering this past week (because the new ones aren't available yet):

    The three teams Florida beat all won this week.

    All three wins were against FCS schools.

    6 of those teams are SEC. How depressing.

    My point was, they're not going to fall out of the top 10.

    Well, SC's ranked 13th in the AP poll and similarly in about all the other voter polls. But, fine, if they're 9th in the current BCS, then Ill give the Gators credit for three top 10 wins. mea culpa.

    They still don't deserve a spot in the title game, though. My prediction is Bama vs. ND, with Bama winning another goddamned title. You don't give Saban a second life, I don't think he'll allow another bullet to get him this year.

    Although I wouldn't be surprised if ND gets upset by USC--on the road, the Trojans and Barkley's last chance to salvage their season with a huge win in a rivalry game, that certainly has the ingredients for an upset. In which case we get utter chaos.

    Having watched Florida in person, I'm not sure they could score against Notre Dame or Alabama. Bet the under if the Gators are in the title game.

    The final score of Songbird's silly projected title game would be 12-7.

    Imagine if USC beats Notre Dame, and Florida beats Florida State, and Georgia beats Alabama ...

    ... we could have Georgia v. Florida in the title game.
