Take a look at ths:



Date Opponent Result/Time Record/Tickets TV
September 1 Western Kentucky W 49-3 1-0 (0-0)
September 8 Troy W 59-31 2-0 (0-0)
September 15 No. 22 Tennessee W 59-20 3-0 (1-0) CBS
September 22 at Mississippi W 30-24 4-0 (2-0)
September 29 Auburn L 20-17 4-1 (2-1)
October 6 at No. 1 LSU L 28-24 4-2 (2-2) CBS
October 20 at No. 7 Kentucky W 45-37 5-2 (3-2)


This is Flory-Dahs schedule to date.


Where did you get the first 2 from....the ovens of Pillsbury???


Mississippi....oh now there's a big one.

Unranked and 3 loss Auburn.



Now if you're going to tell me how highly ranked the rest were then I'm going to tell you those rankings were fraudulent.

Tan-ah-see being the biggest fraud ever hatched.

just think how little we'd all have to discuss if the ncaa did what everyone wants, and went to a playoff/college super bowl system!

maybe someday....


as for the rankings right now, osu gets a lot of votes because they're osu. just like usc started out no 1 because they're usc, and just like notre dame gets a bowl game if they even have a hint of win about them. they're traditional schools, and that means something to many voters. it's also why 'purists' were unhappy with the upstart south florida team daring to crack the top five.
it's all bs. play the top teams against each other, to hell with the striving for a perfect season, have the wins MEAN something! do what every other sport does, play it off. may the best win.

well, there's 90 seconds of my life wasted, never to be seen again.

i'm amazed that you're amazed.

but none of it should come down to opinion, it should be played out on the field. then it doesnt' matter who votes for whom, the winner wins, and is no 1. it's not as tho the colts had to share their superbowl trophy with the chargers this past january....

It's been like this forever!!!


They've been voting on the NC's forever!!


It won't change unless they can suck more money out of the system.


And ,frankly, I DON'T CARE!!


It's only usefullness to me is as a tool of frustration to Johnny Rebs!










I'm like Buddy Guy.....I DON'T CARE!!


And I guess your opening line means you are well known for your little brat commentery.


So I'm slow.


Big deal.

A lot of what you say here is true. Some teams do get votes just because of the name. It's not really that fair. What's also not really fair is the preseason rankings. Some really good teams over the past few years have had to be left out of good bowl games and even out of the national title game because their ranking didn't get high enough because they started so low. I believe it was Auburn or LSU a few years ago that started very far down and ended up the season #3 but if they had started the season #1 or #2, they would have been in the title game. It was all about where they started.

Personally, I have no problem with the upstart teams like South Florida being well received. I like to see new teams get a shot at breaking in.

Way to go South Florida. And Florida. Florida is showing that their loss to Auburn wasn't a fluke. With each loss, it takes some of the luster off of Auburn's win over them......which in turn takes some of the luster off of South Florida beating Auburn. As if SF didn't do enough of that themselves over these past two weekends.
