Do you really think Boise St. is better than the dawgs? While we have had some of the most ugly wins I have seen, a road win at Auburn is never something I am going to bitch about. We are currently 9-2 with losses to the #1 and #3 teams in the nation.

I was a little disappointed that you had to fall in line with that assumption. Just because they've beaten the crap out of mediocre (counting LSU) teams with the exception of Georgia does not make them a great football team. They play Citadel (!) next and then FSU. And we're all going to say they're great because they will more than likely rack up 50+ points in each game. <BR/><BR/>I know we can just wait a few more weeks before all this gets sorted out - so why bother jumping them ahead of the top 2 teams based on assumptions?Lowlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009250887625614397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-36485944484938143742008-11-17T16:57:00.000-05:002008-11-17T16:57:00.000-05:00In the SEC championship game Florida will do to Al...In the SEC championship game Florida will do to Alabama what Alabama did to Georgia except Alabama won't score 30 points in the second half to make it close.<BR/><BR/>Florida is the best team in the country right now.<BR/><BR/>Alabama just thinks they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-34777228708618555972008-11-17T16:41:00.000-05:002008-11-17T16:41:00.000-05:00I agree with you that Florida might be the best te...I agree with you that Florida might be the best team in the country, but by placing them above not just one but two legitimate unbeaten teams (one of those being a team that beat the team they lost to) shows that you are placing value on what might be rather than what is. Should Alabama or Texas Tech lose now there will be no redemption. Why does Florida deserve that? Because they are playing better now? They could run up three-hundred points on someone but that would not change the fact that they lost to Ole Miss. <BR/>In the power poll that's one thing - it's a subjective thing. But in an actual ranking I believe you have to give credit of the whole body of work and reward style points only after looking at wins and losses. <BR/>Between Alabama and Florida that will work itself out in a couple of weeks so ultimately it won't matter, unless you consider that if Alabama loses it will fall farther down the poll than Florida would relative to the top spot. Then again Alabama has to get past an Auburn team that gave Georgia everything they wanted. <BR/><BR/>Just food for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-77858702885597166132008-11-17T15:40:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:40:00.000-05:00As I understand it, if Oregon State and USC win ou...As I understand it, if Oregon State and USC win out in conference - which would require Oregon State to beat Arizona and then Oregon, and USC to beat UCLA - then they will be co-champions of the Pac 10 and Oregon State will go to the Rose Bowl because of the tie-breaker of having beaten USC. <BR/><BR/>This isn't unusual - USC split the conference championship with Arizona State in 2007 and Cal in 2006, but proceeded to the Rose Bowl in both cases due to victories over the co-champions. <BR/><BR/>If that proves to be the case, then SC fans might be able to enjoy something different in the form of an at-large BCS bowl bid. It would certainly mix things up a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
