I figured Mizzou to lose to Oklahoma but WV losing? Wow! What a mess. If this doesnt bring a playoff system I dont know what will. I guess Ohio State is in but who else? Everyone seems to be leaning toward LSU but they seem a little shaky to me, a couple of lucky wins to go with their two losses. USC? Lost to Stanford, nuff said. Georgia? Good team but cmon you gotta win your own conference. VaTech? Blown out by LSU. Kansas? exposed by Mizzou. Hawaii? I'd be curious to see it but very skeptical. My pick is Oklahoma.

 

Yeah, Georgia lost to Tennessee, and Vandy. :evil: Well, it's something if you can lose 2 conference games, and still rank that high. They are a power house....
Might be Oklahoma in there..

On a side note, I am watching Washington, and Hawaii. The Rainbows dont look so hot.

 

VaTech, LSU or OU should be playing OSU for the title. The experts are saying LSU but nobody has any idea what the computers are going to spit out today. The best way to make sure it's one of those 3 teams, the voters need to make sure thay are 2-4 in the polls.

Jack, Georgia doesn't belong over LSU who also has 2 losses but actually won the SEC. Kansas is the same way, they may have just 1 loss but did not win the Big 12.

Big 10 nutcases have to be loving this, they dreamt up the BCS system and lookie there, their champion has backed their way into the Title game.

 

Never remember a college football season like this one before. Wierd season. Where it stops nobody knows

 

Still early but I'm hearing that VT is still ahead of LSU and OU in the race for #2 in the BCS.

This is the RealTimeRPI ratings:
#1-OSU
#2-Missouri
#3-VT
#4-LSU
#5-WVU

 

I dont think its backing in. They played 12 games and won their last game against Michigan. Thats the way the schedule played out. If their last game was yesterday and they had to beat Michigan to get in would that be backing in? So then LSU "played in" and didnt back in, even though they blew the no 1 ranking twice? I dont think a loss to a very good Illini team is any less creditable than a loss to Stanford, Colorado, Texas Tech, Pitt, South Carolina or Kentucky, which is who the other contenders lost to. Again, this is the poster child season for a playoff. They can only pick two and they could easily make a case for eight.

 

First polls are out and they mirror one another all the way down to #9.

OSU
LSU
OU
Georgia
VT

 

The key to the BCS is to lose early and battle back. Lose late and your done, not this year though. That is what I mean by backing in. Say OSU had beat the Illni and then lost to Michigan, they still would have been close enough to be where they are today, backing in. It ain't right but that's the system....

 

OSU back to #1-wonder how long that'll last-seems to be a jinx this year

 

Till jan 7th anyway.


As a side note I just watched Les Miles on ESPN and I dont believe him for a minute. I think he'll say anything to win this championship but inside he's a Michigan Man. Trying to have it both ways.
