USC not in the top 10? you don't put teams ranked in front of others for the mere fact that they are undefeated. there are so many other things you have to consider. Like results, true. But you cannot honestly say that USC deserves to be ranked in the top 10 because they are USC and they have talent. That's a major flaw in the current rankings right now done by the AP. Of course Tulsa and Ball State aren't in the top ten in terms of strength; however, they have not lost a game to any team. As the season wears on and USC begins to add more wins over more quality opponents, than sure, they'll become higher ranked. And fluke loss? More like USC didn't show up to Oregon State. I actually wasn't surprised, because I remembered two years ago. Anyways, USC's best two wins are Ohio State (who has looked horrifically stagnant against ALL competition this year) and Oregon (who got taken into overtime by Purdue and lost to Boise State). Of course, USC doesn't get a boost in strength this week traveling to Pullman, but if Ohio State bests Michigan State, then they can have a claim for the top 10 other then their reputation and talent. If you look at the AP guidelines, they clearly state that the basis of voting shouldn't be preseason hype or reputation, it should be based on results. Of course my rankings might be overboard in the sense that all the undefeated teams are over the one-loss teams, but that seems a lot more ideal than this, which shows a 1-loss Florida and Oklahoma over a no loss Penn State, who may very well be the best team in the country. | ||

USC is 4th on Coach/Harris polls. in other news, i hope that all the ranked / higher ranked teams lose today, other than USC. GO MICHIGAN!! please beat penn state. | ||

How the hell is Michigan winning? Anyways, the entire Big Ten sucks again this year. If Penn State does manage a comeback and runs the table, they'll get smashed by whoever they play in their BCS Bowl Game. Texas Tech gonna crush everyone in the Big 12. | ||

Can we all just agree the rankings are stupid until the end of the season? Especially preseason rankings. | ||

I like rankings, it gives a more determinate feeling to what games are upsets and whether the two teams are evenly matched. For me at least, it makes football games a lot more interesting. So why not have preseason rankings? ONCE, just once in my life, I'd like to see Michigan fans to storm the field. | ||

Probably would have been closer to 100-0 but they took Sanchez out a few minutes into the 3rd quarter when he already have 5 TD 0 INT for about 240 YDs. 3 RBs for 100+ YDs. 4 different QBs in the game, 2nd/3rd string players in on both sides of the ball. I just need Mizzou to beat Texas (very possible), Michigan to beat Penn St. (currently tied in the 3rd quarter), and Ole Miss to beat Bama (very close game). | ||

"5. BYU-With the exception of the Washington game they have generally dominated their competition. The winner between them and Utah are basically guaranteed a BCS spot." Im glad you think so highly of my Cougars but neither of those teams are getting a BCS spot. Even if we went undefeated this season (TCU >.<) there was a very small chance we could get a BCS bid. They do not deserve a number five spot at all, and it pains me to say so. They have been rated around 9 or 10 by most polls and they probably dont deserve that either. I love my team but to be realistic they are probably a low teens rated team not a top ten. YOU ACTUALLY USED A GAME AGAINST WYOMING FOR UTAHS RANK.... WHAT THE FUCK!? That being said the rest of your rankings look like they were written by a fucking crackhead. | ||
