[Claws for Concern]

USC is too high, but I digress.

Shocking that Miami isn't on there. ::) ::)

 

[Ledbetter]

How is Cal ahead of Tennessee?

USC is too high, but I digress.

They're No. 2 in AP and USAT, aren't they?

It's the BCS, NOT the WBC

USC is too high, but I digress.

They're No. 2 in AP and USAT, aren't they?

Michigan is No. 2 in AP, but AP doesn't factor into it.

Personally, I liked seeing Tulsa on that list.

How is Cal ahead of Tennessee?

I was thinking the same thing.

****ing USC. Can't someone in that sorry-ass conference pick them off so the No. 2 team in the country will actually be the No. 2 team in the country?

Big East took a serious hit from the computer rankings.

WVU: Harris 4th, USA Today 4th, computers 14th. Fifth in BCS.
Louisville: Harris 6th, USA Today 6th, computers 10th. Seventh in BCS.

Agreed. It's about time West Virginia got some respect. :D

Personally, I liked seeing Tulsa on that list.

I went to high school with Paul Smith's brother, and my brother and Paul were the same year. So, I also like seeing Tulsa on the list.

 

[Freelance Hack]

When did the BCS take losses out of the equation?

 

[GB-Hack]

I think losses went away when they began expressing things as a percentage.

 

[Freelance Hack]

I bet John Swofford is happy to see this.

 

[Hammer Pants]

How is Cal ahead of Tennessee?

I was thinking the same thing.

I assume most people with brains were. That game could have been 50-0, or worse. I guess that's what you get for having class and taking your foot off the gas. Wow.

Any system than can have Cal ahead of Tennessee at this point in the season is completely ridiculous. But the season ain't over yet.

USC has the hardest schedule in the country...What else you want?

I believe the consensus would be convincing wins. That, and I think people are just plain tired of USC from the past three seasons, so you're not going to see many people in the Trojans' corner these days.

For one of those "hard" teams to finally beat the Trojans
