Who comes up with these rankings? USC and Florida now have zero business being in the top 20...Getting past the fact the SEC is perhaps the toughest division, they're 500 in that division...I wouldnt even have USC in the top 25...The rankings should be
ohio state ASU Oklahoma LSU BC oregon kansas hawaii missouri

I know very little about college football or the BCS but it seems to me that, like other sports, big names seem to get preferential treatment. I know, or at least think I know that not all of the polls are entirely objective. I mean they do the BCS computer thing but then they also have a media poll and a coach's poll don't they? That's probably where the "big name" effect comes in.
I may be way off base in my line of thinking though.

The BCS is a bunch of bullsh*t! There should not be a computer doing the rankings. Coaches, writers and strength of opponents should be the determining factor. The NCAA could put all of this to rest if they would just have a playoff system but too much money is made by using the Bowls. All 100 of them! ;D

Wow, seems to me that if a college team has a pulse these days they are in a bowl game. And the rotating championship game.. You are right, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ rules all.

The BC is BS and has been..im waiting for ohiop state to lose then you have a million teams with 1 loss...w/o a playoff its impossible to determine who the best is..You're also right about the name recognition..if notre dame was 500 this year i have no doubt they would be a top 10 team....sportswritters are for the most part idiots. note dame was forever ranked in the top 10 for decades..it doesnt matter what their record was...i guess the majority of sportswritters are catholic.

Ohio State is not good enough to be #1. Their schedule is nowhere nearly as strong as some tieams ranked below them. Ohio State would get their asses kicked by Oklahoma, LSU, and Oregon. They could also lose to Florida, Missouri, Texas, or USC.

Guess we will see.. half the country thinks that the big 10 is the best conference in the nation..One thing nobody is going to agree on is who is better between the sec and big 10...you cant say they dont play anybody as the strength of their schedule is as tough as anybodys...

btw...just to show you what im saying, look at michigan...a few weeks ago they werent even in the top 25....they have since moved past texas....Texas sucks, jb..They barely get by in a lot of their games and they play in a weak conference...oklahoma and texas are usually the only two teams that are worth a sh*t
