But Ohio St. and USC look very solid all the way through. Ohio State has a very good defense so they can stay with anyone just like LSU, even on a bad day.

We shall see. Injuries, offensive lines getting into a groove could change everything quickly.

Who has Oklahoma beaten that Florida hasnt beaten? Tennesee is better than Miami this year.

Florida is right up there with any team and they are the defending champs. No florida fan but give respect.

I do think LSU and USC will be the two teams when the smoke clears.

BCS Standings
1. Ohio State
2. South Florida
3. Boston College
4. LSU
5. Oklahoma
6. South Carolina
7. Kentucky
8. Arizona State
9. West Virginia
10. Oregon
11. Virginia Tech
12. California
13. Kansas
14. USC
15. Florida
16. Missouri
17. Auburn
18. Hawaii
19. Virginia
20. Georgia
21. Tennessee
22. Texas
23. Cincinnati
24. Texas Tech
25. Michigan

The most over-rated:

Boston College
Arizona State
Kansas
Hawaii
Texas Tech

It should be noted that the vile Steve Spurrier
has done an incredible job at S. Carolina.

The best team is still LSU. When they get
the Early one back, and if they can get to the BCS
championship game, they will win. Ohio State is still
not respected by many but I think their Defense warrants
consideration of being very worthy to beat any team. I
think if Sweater-Vest man blings up, his charges would not be
the object of ridicule. A big gold chain medallion from Maurice Clarret
would boost morale and respect considerably.

Well, I'm absolutely convinced now. South Florida was unquestionably deserving of the #2 ranking in the country. What a joke.

Yes, they were absolutely deserving. Were they the second best team...I don't think so...but the facts remain they had beaten Auburn on the road and West Virginia. Again, an Auburn team Forida couldn't beat and LSU beat on the last play of the game. I said long ago I thought both Rutgers and Cincinnati could possibly beat them...but until that happened they certainly deserved their ranking. Now that that has happened they are where they should be now.

South Florida wasn't even in the polls till what, three weeks ago or so? Now they are the #5 team in the country? I don't buy that. I know how the rankings go when a team loses, they move down and all another team has to do is not lose, no matter who they are playing. But there is just no way in the world that I'll believe South Florida is the fifth best team in the nation right now. They'd be huge underdogs playing Oklahoma, USC, or Florida. Again, understanding how rankings go, sometimes, common sense has to come into play. Florida, yeah they lost but come on. They lost AT LSU, in the final minutes of the game. A quality loss like that shouldn't move a team down. If they hold LSU on one of those fourth down plays, right now Cal is #1 and Florida would be ahead of LSU. Am I to believe that one play is the difference between LSU being 12 spots ahead of Florida and Florida being ahead of LSU? USC, if that receiver doesn't make that great catch for Stanford in the end zone, is still ranked in the top three but one play dropped them down to #10.

Obviously you don't watch college football. Might be best if you refrain from commenting on it in order to avoid looking like a complete buffoon.

Brilliant. Which part, may I ask do u disagree with?

-Do u believe South Florida is really the fifth best team in the country?

-Would u take SF over Florida, USC, or Oklahoma?

-If LSU would have been stopped on that last 4th and 1 and Florida wins the game, do u not believe that Florida would be ranked ahead of LSU today?

-Do u believe that LSU is really 12 spots better than Florida?

-Do u believe that USC would have fallen out of the top three if they had won the game?

Yes. If they go undefeated in conference play (which looks like it's going to happen) then they're in the BCS with an undefeated record.

It depends. Home, Away, Neutral, Injuries, Suspensions, etc.

But they didn't so it's a moot point.

Yes. Florida used Tebow early and that's the reason why they were ahead. It was a risky move that backfired and was really the only way Florida had a shot of winning.

Plus Early Doucet was injured. LSU is much better.

No but I'm here in reality and you're stuck in fantasyland. It didn't happen.
