[Steve19]

Well, it's very interesting! Almost pipped Alabama. If Alabama had won, we would have been one place higher! A strong showing next week and some help and we can be as high as #7 and #6 in the BCS. So far, so good.

 

[SanAntonioBuck]

The good guys are still the best 2 loss team in the nation! ND gave up 21 points to Navy! When will the media stop taking payments from NBC to have ND ranked so high. :crazy:

 

[Jaxbuck]

Look at the total points.

We could easily jump Bama and even VT in the human polls with a win over scUM.

If UGA beats LSU in the SEC game we could be looking at a final BCS of 5 or so. Get us close to Miami in the human polls and we can jump them in the BCS, their schedule hurts them.

Top 4 final BCS makes it all a moot point, one of the at large bids is ours automatically at that point.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Tellshow's early projection has us at #7 in the new BCS

As with the Coaches poll - within a smidgeon of overtaking Alabama.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Yep, the media is setting the stage.

Beat scUM and we will jump Bama and VT in the human polls and get your BCS travel plans in order.

If LSU or Miami lose their championship games its just gravy.

 

[ohiostate=life]

Obviously we are in good location and we can pass Bama and VaTech by next week. But I still was pissed when Bama lost. Not so much that they lost period but that they lost to a shaky LSU team who got beat by the putrid Tennessee earlier. If LSU had lost we would have already moved up one more and maybe move up two more by next weekend. One more team clogging up that 7,8,8 area...not what I considered optimal. Anyway, beat scUM and we're in as usual.

:osu: Go Bucks!!:osu:

 

[buckeyeboy]

From the CFN rankings, which have us at #7:

"As crazy as this might sound considering the relatively recent loss to Penn State, at the immediate moment, this might be one of the three best teams in America. The offense is rocking and rolling better than it ever has in the Jim Tressel era, while the defense has remained it’s killer self. However, Michigan is playing almost as well right now."

I think I'd put us in the top three right now, too. As for scUM, .

 

[Yertle]

I have no problem with the scUM comment. Remember, the game's played on the field, and if the media wants to build it up before hand, then the more power to them...

 

[jwinslow]

I have no problem with the comment because it was accurate. I realize we all hate Michigan, but at least look at what they are doing recently. I think they are going to struggle against our offense, but they have certainly stepped it up for a Michigan defense.

[Adam Locked]

Doesnt anyone think that LSU should be #3 having played a tougher schedule than Miami? Sure they beat VTech but VTech looks like super pretenders after their defeat. I say LSU should be #3.... maybe better than UT who is playing in the worst conference, Big XII.

Nope I don't believe LSU should be ranked better than Miami.

Yes the SEC is tougher than the ACC (IMHO), but Miami has been playing lights out Defense. In the SEC this year it is a case of poor offenses and better defenses pretty much all around.
Miami demolished Va. Tech AND played great defense in so doing.

As for the LSU better than UT comment - better than Phat Phil's bunch, no doubt, better than those 'Horns, not even close.

Anyways - here is the latest and greatest from Harris Interactive.

I think PSU should be #3 quite honestly.

LSU and Miami's losses were worse than PSU's and their win over us was more impresive than anything Miami or LSU has done as well.

Miami has played exactly 2 teams worth a fuck. FSU and VT. They are 1-1, in those 2 games, so whats the big deal? Miami's opponents are a combined 38-37 so far this year and thats with VT's 8-1 in there. 2 of their opponents are a combined 0-19 for fuck's sake. VT aside, Colorado is the highest BCS ranked team they have played this year at #26.

PSU otoh has played BCS #7, #15, #20, #22 and #28. Their only loss was to #15 on the road on a very controversial play.

Yes I am biased, I fucking hate Miami but I don't like PSU much either. There is simply no way you can convince me that Miami's 8-1 is more impressive year to date than PSU's 9-1. I guarantee if you could pin one of the pollsters down and ask him wtf he is thinking the words 'florida" and "speed" would be among the first dozen or so spoken.

Simple truth is they rated them high pre-season and none of them will admit they were wrong.
