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.

Reminding me alot more of 2002. Started out middle-of-the-pack, worked their way up on solid defense, and finished up big over a FLA team.

That year ended up well, and this one could too. The offense is decent, but the defense is great. I am just as doubtful of the #1 ranking as any anyone else, but if they can run the table over 5 teams with winning records, then the Buckeyes deserve a chance in the title game, and if they don't, then they didn't deserve it.

But, I would rather not go than lose 41-14 again...

south florida, all of 11 years of football. amazing to see them where they are! shame tho that osu got ahead of them in the polls. out of the top three, they would be my vote for #1. then bc, then osu.

but no one asked me.

Cajun, the only differenc between this year and last year is the Bucks will play the last game of the season. They were out partying with strippers all night before they played Florida. Although I can relate, I do not expect the same thing to happen this year

SweaterVEst Man would never let his players do something like that.

You have proof of that? By the way, I would hope that the Bucks learned their lesson and actually decided to play in the national championship game this year (that is if they actually make it.)

i still think lsu is #1. oklahoma might be #2 and usf #3. i don't think usf can beat the first 2 BUT i do think usf can beat osu. usc is beaten up pretty bad and thier second and third teamers are make to many mistakes. the rest of the pac 10 just doesn't play enough defense.

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

Others Receiving Votes
UCLA 77, Boise State 72, Wake Forest 50, Connecticut 26, Clemson 21, Wisconsin 17, Air Force 11, Brigham Young 6, Texas Tech 6, TROY 4, Tennessee 3, Fresno State 3, Oklahoma State 3, Kansas State 2, Purdue 1, Cincinnati 1, Texas A&M 1.
Dropped From Rankings
Tennessee 20, Texas Tech 22, Cincinnati 23, Kansas State 25.


No way BC should receive 1st place votes.
If they get first place votes so should Kansas and Hawaii.
Auburn is an incredibly good 3 loss team.

How in God's name does Texas ATM receive a vote?
That Associated Press reporter deserves castration.

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.

my top 10

1.Ohio State on the basis of being undefeated
2.LSU--i hate to admit it probably the best team right now
3.Arizona State--til they lose to USC they stay here
4.Oregon--til they lose to USC they merit being here
5.USC--rolling over ND was a positive sign, hoping they roll over the pac-10 and move on to the BCS title game
6.Oklahoma---surprising team so far, just wondering how much longer it will last
7.Kentucky---if it were not for their loss, id have them as the #1 team in the nation.
8.Florida--playing very well considering the tough teams they face, can beat any team in nation, but it seems like they can also be beat just as easily by any other ranked team
9.VA Tech---just had to fill this spot
10.Auburn--2 losses I know but they could of beat LSU, and they are a very capable team, only tough team they might have left will be Georgia
