KU's in front of USC in the BCS rankings. I'll simply enjoy this while it lasts. Hilarious.

 

[linotype]

USC's computer rating of 0.09 looks like a blood-alcohol level.

There will be a national champion this year only because there has to be one every year.

If South Florida wins out, they're in?

The computers had S. Florida no. 1 across the board, except for the one computer that had Ohio State at 1 and Michigan at 15. Texas wasn't in the top 25 of any of the computer rankings. Don't understand the discounting of S. Florida nor the exaltation of Ohio State, which is ranked tied for fifth with Arizona State (seems about right) in the computer rankings. The Harris Poll is showing its usual worthlessness which, combined with the day late and dollar short coaches poll, will likely come into play for the BCS title. I don't think its too early for coaches to start campaigning for votes, ala Mack Brown.

I've never understood why anyone would get excited or upset about any BCS poll other than the final one.

No way is ASU a top 10 team, and I am a fan boy.

 

[Del_B_Vista]

Geez, good thing we don't have a playoff. Who'd want games like UK-LSU in a quarterfinal?

Because your average playoff proponent is like a spoiled six-year-old whining for ice cream. He's going to **** and moan until he gets what he wants.

South Florida deserves its spot. Beat Auburn, beat West Virginia, routed a Central Florida team that almost beat Texas. They need not apologize.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

Does George O'Leary vote in the coaches poll? I'd love to see that list

See, that's fine. I used to think that about the Gamecocks. Then I looked around and realized there AREN'T any great teams. I mean, look at the BCS Top 10:

1 Ohio St: Hasn't played ANYBODY at all.
2 South Florida: Who the **** knows ... honestly.
3 Boston College: Softer schedule than even Ohio State.
4 LSU: Just lost at Kentucky. KENTUCKY.
5 Oklahoma: Lost to Colorado ... which just got jacked up by Kansas State.
6 South Carolina: I'm a fanboy and I'm positively stunned they're this highly ranked.
7 Kentucky: Lost at South Carolina and still has to play Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
8 Arizona St: Hasn't played anybody, but at least a better schedule than BC.
9 West Virginia: Lost to South Florida already.
10 Oregon: I honestly don't know the first thing about 'em, other than they waxed Michigan.

How many of those teams really instill fear in you? How many can go on the road against a pretty good opponent and leave folks thinking "there's no way they lose that game."

And the Bulls will drop precipitously after they lose in Piscataway on Thursday night.

 

[DisembodiedOwlHead]

That's a lot of faith you have in Mike Teel ...

 

[spnited]

And Ray Rice and some very good wide receivers and a new tight end, new blocking fullback and new freshman stud right guard

 

[dooley_womack1]

If Rutgers can be Cincinnati's *****, it can surely be South Florida's *****.

 

[DisembodiedOwlHead]

It's still Teel at the wheel, and he is not very good in my estimation.

 

[spnited]

Having watched Teel since he was a junior in high school, I think he's pretty damn good
