college football ranking

You knew something wasn’t right when the “number one team” in the country is a three point underdog going in to the Big 12 Championship game. But even I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Let’s be realistic. We all know that Mizzou v. West Virginia would have been the lowest rated championship game ever. It would have been fun to watch all the commentators try hype up such an awful game for an entire month. Don’t get me wrong. I like a sports Cinderella story as much as the next guy but we’ve had some really BS teams in the top spots this year. Boston College? The USF Bulls? Missou. Kansas and West Virginia? I didn’t watch the games but I think the BCS planted Tim Donaghy at the games to make sure things “turned out right”. to see. Let’s see. I guess the “computer” was wrong when it had the Georgia Bulldogs at #4 and LSU at #7 when the Dawgs weren’t even in the SEC championship game it’s not looking good. Ohio State got to sit on the sidelines for the last two weeks of the season and watch teams lose around them. That doesn’t quite seem fair does it? So let me get this right in the SEC not playing is a bad thing so LSU jumps (5 spots? when else has that happened?) but in the Big Ten it is a good thing. Great. Ohio State last played on November 21. The national championship game is January 7th. Ohio State has almost two months off before the game. What else? Ohhhhhh the game is being played in New Orleans. Louisiana. Nice. All this proves is that there needs to be a playoff system. I know the BCS likes the intrigue developed in the current system and they continue to say it is a fair system. In reality how great would it be to see the top 8 teams in a playoff? Look at these teams. Ohio State. LSU. Oklahoma. Georgia. Virginia Tech. West Virginia. Mizzou and Kansas. Maybe the undefeated Hawaii gets a shot to test themselves against respected programs since it appears that everyone thinks their record is complete BS. Florida is right there on the edge. Give the teams that worked hard a shot at it. Seriously there is nothing Hawaii could have done better they don’t deserve a sniff at it? Next year they will be rewarded with a ranking in the high teens while perennial favorites like Michigan. Florida. USC. Texas and Cal get right back to where they are every year. Plus think of the drama of March Madness teams earn it with every game. The underdog schools build a following by showing their heart on the field. The national favorites get a few weeks where everyone gets to see how good they are on a national stage so by time they hoist the trophy everyone knows what they can do. Well the results are in. This is a joke. Look if you are just going to make the games you want to see at the end of the year throw out the whole system. Don’t get me wrong. LSU v. Ohio State is exactly the game I want to see and the only thing that makes sense at this point. So get this. Georgia goes in to the weekend at number 4 in the BCS. Then #1 and #2 lose. That makes them number two going into the championship game right? That is how it happened the other thirteen weeks of the season right? That is how Boston College. South Florida. Kansas and all of those jokers got to be #2 right? Not this week this week when two of the three teams in front of you lose you come back out of the week at That’s right they didn’t play and lost a spot. Ohio State didn’t play and got right up to #1. That means VA Tech jumped up three slots for beating number 11 Boston College. LSU jumps five slots to number two and Oklahoma also jumps up five to number 3…but they beat the number one team in the country so they deserved it right?  Meanwhile #9 Kansas gets in while #6 Mizzou drops out completely that sucks. Yeah look at it read it again. None of it makes sense. But no one will remember it by time Kirk Herbstreit and Corso talk about it for a month. We got the game everyone wants that’s the whole point right?

The measure three seasons undergo ended with BC ranked in the final AP poll—after victories in the Continental Tire Bowl the MPC Computers Bowl and of course the ultimate battle: the Meineke Car compassionate Bowl. At least the Eagles made it all the way to the top this season: the Champs Sports Bowl where they’ll approach the unstoppable 7-5 Michigan State Spartans. Jux Berg is a B1? homer. Three of his "mediocre" teams are in the ACC. Give me a end. He should just look at his favorite conference and realize that Big 1?'s representative to the Rose Bowl is going to get spanked by USC. schedule it. But don't take my word for it. Lets put it to the test. Why don't we start a Big 1? / ACC football challenge similar to basketball. Oh yeah the Big 1? has never beat the ACC in the basketball challenge. 0 in 9 years. Bulldog's town paper. Macon Telegraph's columnist. Travis Fain had something to say about Brennan too "........ I want Colt Brennan's head on a stick. I want that pretty boy Hawaii quarterback driven through the Superdome cover. I be perfection in all phases of the game this New Year's Day. undo Hawaii. And then let this be known across the land: The Georgia Bulldogs will be staying in the national title conversation for many years to come." Doesn't unnecessary trash talk like that comes from insecurities & a small peepee.. and he's obviously not as pretty as the Southern California surfer boy who doubles as Hawaii's QB. Teams returning are OSU. LSU & USC... Mediocrity and inconsistency throughout the season! Must say lots of money must have been lost this football season! And for the record. Va. Tech was preseason #9 and is now #3. Georgia was preseason #13 and is now #5. I don't see how that can possibly be construed as underacheiving. Hell. BC and Clemson weren't even ranked in the preseason! Now they're #14 and #15. This "bind" is just lunacy and stupidity. Some site you guys have here.. what a joke. there is only two teams in NCAA division 1 that undergo one ten games or more four straight seasons that is USC and Virginia tech. If VT is overrated then how could this be possible? You may site that the ACC is a weak conferance but how about the the WAC conference (mighty Idaho at the helm) or Even the big 10 Ohio express plays every college in Ohio weak non conference compete and STill couldnt beat all these pathetic teams (im just saying if their going to the national championship they should have ran their conference and not lose to illinois). I agree this is very ignorant sports righting. NOTRE DAME IS EVEN ON THIS LIST. BUT 10-1 TEAMS ARE HAHAHA YOUR A GENIOUS the point was that uga and va tech are always ranked high but can never get to the title game- i mean if you start 10 straight damn years in the top 10 or near it you would think at least ONCE you could make it as for clemson and bc.. win the conference sometime ya know? look at the boring dumb bowl games they go to year in and year out... thats called mediocrity.. so basically they did what they always do.. end up in non-bcs bowl games.. clemson had its best year in a long time this season and still didnt even MAKE the conf champ game - that is a huge pile of mediocrity buddy Worst. Post. Ever. I'll give you Purdue and Clemson but the rest what? BC was unranked preseason won their division made the ACC Title game and finished #14 in the final BCS standings. Mediocre? The reason they're going to Champs bowl (and generally go to second-rate bowls each year) has nothing to do with the quality of the team it's all about fan travel. They got passed over by the Peach and Gator for Clemson (ahem) and Virginia. 2 teams they finished ahead of during the regular season (and in the case of Clemson beat head-to-head on the road). VT finished #3 in the final BCS standings--one spot away from the title game and higher than where they started the year. Sure they got waxed by LSU but mediocre season? And you believe finishing no higher than 6th in the nation the past 5-6 years mediocre? Worst. Post. Ever. I'll give you Purdue and Clemson but the rest what?

And you consider finishing no higher than 6th in the nation the past 5-6 years mediocre? Yeah. Jux... I don't really agree with VT or UGA. I don't really know of many people who expected Georgia as a title condender this year with a true sophomore qb and two starting freshman on the o-line. Not to mention no one knew who Knowshon Moreno was much less figured him into the equation. All in all they did alright. No coach in their right mind would want to play this squad next year. VT on the other hand *did* get dismantled at LSU as you mentioned. But you said it yourself - their best finish in the affix mike vick era is 6th so then what makes 3rd so bad? I wouldn't condider Clemson. Purdue and BC strong teams that annually get hyped so here's my 2007 list of "title pretenders". 1) BC and Clemson: first the editor put "Golden" Eagles - and yes I realize these teams started the season unranked.. but my point is this: These teams NEVER do anything important. Yes. BC won their division (aided by a gift victory against Va Tech on a horribly muffed onside impel) this season.. and yes. Clemson finished strong.. but traditionally these teams never factor into the title picture and this year is no different. One of them moved up to #2 and I believe Clemson was ranked 13th earlier in the season before getting stuffed by GEORGIA TECH. 2) Georgia: I agree they had a great season and finished in the Top 5 in the BCS and all that (due to the human voters mostly)... Vanderbilt. VANDERBILT had em beat by the way.. but yeah good season good finish - but still as usual ranked pretty high in the preseason (which gives you an edge in the call picture) and AGAIN no title game. Granted they did better than people thought. but this seems to be the best this program can do - so if the argument is which one of these 5 teams "could" be removed from this list. I'll furnish you them.. but they are habitual chokers 3) Va Tech.. yes they finished #3 for some crazy cerebrate - first of all winning the ACC should not get you more votes than the Big 12 by any means... Va Tech's computer ranking probably got helped by the fact that they PLAYED LSU. Face it though they did well and all.. but AGAIN no title bet when starting in the Top 10. Thats my point. If you get the chance to START Top 10 or close to it for like 10 straight years you have to make at least ONE call game to prove something. UGA has won 2 SEC titles in the last 5 years. They finished 13-1 in 2002 it takes not only a good season but a little bit of luck to win the NC. In 70%+ of the seasons a 13-1 season ordain win it all it just so happens that year there were 2 unbeatens in UM and OSU. They undergo won 10+ games in 5 of the last 6 years finished in the Top 10 5 of 6 years and have the most wins in the SEC over the last 6 years and last 11 years. UGA is the ONLY SEC team to end in the Top 25 for the last 10 straight years. UGA is 25 - 4 on the road under Richt (going 9-2 against ranked teams on the road). 6-4 against top 10 teams under Richt. Here s a enumerate of teams from each BCS conference that to me seem to consistently define mediocre. They re not perennial conference cellar dwellers and sometimes they ll wind up with a top 25 finish. In a wacky season they might even win their conference. But for the most part they re going to disappoint when they re a preseason top 25 and rarely make it to a New Year s Day bowl. This list is purely my opinion. These are the names I d blurt out if I was playing that game where I had to say the first thing that came to mind: Mediocre Big 12 team! This isn t based on stats but I d guess I could find some if I had to justify these choices. Big 10: PurdueBig 12: Oklahoma StateACC: ClemsonSEC: South CarolinaPac 10: Oregon State Big East: Syracuse Jeff Bohnke.... living life with his continue up his ass. Go back and check who played in the BCS TITLE GAME on January 4. 2000. That's right it was Virginia Tech. And now they are in their third BCS bowl in 9 years all of which have go as a result of winning a conference championship. And for the record it should have been 4 bids because VT was jobbed by the crybaby PAC10 commish in 2000-01. It should have been VT steamrolling ND in Tempe instead of Oregon St. I can see Sports Illustrated asking this douchebag for his resume any day now. Why don't you choose some teams that aren't in BCS bowl games when you are compiling a list of "mediocre" teams you dumbshit. And here's how great the Big 10 is: Appalachian State. Duke hasn't won an ACC game since 2004 and won one game this year... AT Northwestern. Northwestern won 3 of their conference games. ACC pisses on the Big 10 every year in the basketball challenge desire you are R-Kelly's niece go do the world a favor and end this site and jump off one of your collapsing bridges. Bohnke you never said affix vick era in your last message dipshit so don't use word like ever or never if you meant something else dickhead. Dumbass Jux said "but AGAIN no title game when starting in the Top 10. Thats my point. If you get the come about to START Top 10 or close to it for like 10 straight years you undergo to make at least ONE title game to prove something. " Dumbass Lems Poker- ". but can never get to the title game- i mean if you start 10 straight damn years in the top 10 or near it you would evaluate at least ONCE you could make it" Before you start writing shitty articles at least have your facts straights. Anyone with a gay ass picture like Jux's should not be anywhere come a football column anyway. Rod "I love to Munch dick" is just a plain and simple moron. Jux also made a comment to a BC fan about how lucky they were to win against VT and then said in the same post that VT sucks because they didn't make the championship game. Hey dumbass either the victory counts for BC or it counts for VT. If VT recovered that onside kick they'd be playing for the Championship. Even without it. VT will be the first team to be ranked #1 by the computers and not play for the championship since the BCS was adopted. And take a look at some past preseason polls before you claim that VT is "always ranked in the top 10" before the season. That's just a ridiculous statement. 03. 05. 07 right around 10th. 01. 02. 04. 06 not even close. Here s a list of teams from each BCS conference that to me seem to consistently define mediocre. They re not perennial conference cellar dwellers and sometimes they ll wind up with a top 25 finish. In a wacky season they might even win their conference. But for the most part they re going to disappoint when they re a preseason top 25 and rarely alter it to a New Year s Day bowl. This list is purely my opinion. These are the names I d mouth out if I was playing that game where I had to say the first thing that came to mind: Mediocre Big 12 team! This isn t based on stats but I d guess I could find some if I had to justify these choices. Big 10: PurdueBig 12: Oklahoma StateACC: ClemsonSEC: South CarolinaPac 10: Oregon State Big East: Syracuse Exactly right how can this guy get his facts completely wrong a bring together of those years VT wasn't even ranked in the TOP 25! We've never been in the top 5. this is the dumbest thing ever. Georgia and VT are in the BCS. The only cerebrate BC isnt going to a better bowl isnt because the aggroup is mediocre but because they dont travel well so the Chick-Fil-a bowl passed over them for Clemson. And they arent the GOLDEN eagles. Marquette is the Golden Eagles. BC is just the eagles for the sake of all of us please stop writing for the public. Anybody who thinks that the measuring fasten in college football is getting to the national championship bet needs to stop writing about college football right now because they know nothing about the feature. The measuring stick is was and always will be winning your conference. Something the Hokies have now done in 2 of the last 4 years. But according to this numbnuts since they haven't been selected by the BCS to appear in the national championship game (and under the arbitrary "post-Vick era" constraints) they have failed. Seriously drop off your college football writing credentials you have lost them permanently. 15 Straight years going to a bowl4th Straight year with a 10 win season (only USC can affirm as much)2 ACC titles in 4 years (with one other ACCCG appearance) in the conference3 Big East Titles (95. 96 and 99)Leads the nation in INTs since 2000 Leads the nation in non-offensive TDs since 2000Leads the nation in kicks blocked (total stats)Top ranked D the last 2 years (top 5 in 5 of the last 8)Played in the NC game in 99 VT got jobbed this year. The first measure in the BCS that the aggroup that finished #1 in the computers is not playing for the title. The point isn t that these teams suck these teams are all good to great teams year in and year out. Mediocre results have to be determined by where you start. When you consistently start ranked in the polls especially in the top 10 over several years without getting to the BCS title game doesn t that define mediocre? If your team starts outside the 25 consistently but finishes in the top 15 consistently then you have had a great run because no one expected you to do it. While I may or may not agree with the teams chosen for this article. I m glad to see there is an author that can stimulate so many minds and move up your emotions. You don t get this from the talking heads and bland writers of other sites/media outlets. Also your inclusion of Boston College has a frequent offender further proves your ignorance. Would you care to remind me how many times the Eagles have opened the season in the pre-season top 25 over the past 5 or 6 years. I think the answer is ONCE. Now how many times have they finished among the top 25? Yet you desire to say they underachieve and fail to live up to the hype? You need to either completely rewrite the intro brush up on some basic college football info or just plain shut-up. It's about time someone told it like it is about Boston College. They are a J-O-K-E the biggest fraud of a 10-3 team ever. They should have lost the (first) VT and the Clemson games so they're really 8-5. However they struggled against UMASS (!!!) at domiciliate!!! That means any one of sixty or seventy 1-A teams would have beaten them that day so you really have to consider them to be 7-6. Now why would we be talking about a 7-6 team as belonging in the Top Two never mind the Top Twenty? Please. There's a reason why the bowls blow off BC. They say to them. "We know you're 10-3 or whatever but you're a joke. You're no ten-win team--that's why your fans skip your games so they can watch coverage of the Red Sox at the Winter Meetings. Give your plan to real teams like USC. Florida. LSU. Oklahoma. Alabama. Arizona State. Cal. Michigan. UCLA. South Carolina. Texas. Texas A&M. Ohio State or Wisconsin. What would they do with your schedule? Each and every one of them would be 13-0 today and heading to the BCS Championship on Jan. 8. You fools however had the gutlessness to lose to Florida State. Maryland. Virginia Tech (twice) and say NC State. Yes. NC State since they are #71 in the Sagarin ratings while UMass is #78 so BC would have lost to NC State the day they barely defeat UMass. See that's the analysis the bowls go through when they decide who deserves to go to a real bowl. You have to decide which team makes sense in your bowl in terms of reputation selling tickets national interest. Jux's post is awesome because he tells it like it is and your feelings have to get over it. Don't get worked up over this garbage. The writer clearly has a bias or is just an idiot. The big 10 is week and their teams eat off non-conference garbage to increase their records and go to bowls (which they lose). Oh and that Ohio State "national championship" against Miami.. chalk that one up to the refs. So Purdue always comes out strong and fades. That's expected. As for VT they were never expected to be ranked as high as they are now that's why they started the season at #9. They've overachieved and definitely aren't "mediocre". At least they had the balls to play LSU even if they got destroyed by them at night in Death Valley. Who here really thought VT would win that game anyways? Besides from what I recall of that week they had to shuffle around their offensive line due to an injury to one of their guys. So it's no surprise they got waxed by LSU. Anyone who bet money on VT would've been an idiot. And BC they did manage to beat the Hokies in Blacksburg on a Thursday night. Aren't they desire the only team who can claim doing so (on a Thursday)? Very impressive if you ask me. The Florida State game was a let-down but let's be realistic. A "down" year for a Florida State team doesn't mean that they aren't loaded with 4 and 5 star recruits. As much as a disappointment that game was it wasn't surprising (and yours truly picked it to happen). And look at what they were expected to do BEFORE the season started! Those high expectations came AFTER they beat VT on a prayer in Blacksburg. And Georgia? I would hardly call them average. In fact both Georgia and VT both have legitimate claims to playing over Ohio State in the NC game. At least Georgia and VT didn't steamroll through some weeksauce schedule. Georgia plays in the SEC and getting through that conference unscathed is almost impossible. Georgia was ranked lower to start the season. I'd have to think most Georgia fans are quite happy with their current situation. If you be to exclude the accomplishments (making a BCS call game) because they were achieved with an amazing player. And discount 4 consecutive 10 win finishes. And say appearing in the top 10 means you should appear in the title game within 10 years (but apparently without an amazing player since VT was in the title game 8 years ago). You're same argument should be that Texas doesn't get to count their title a couple years ago because it was only Vince Young. And they are in the top 10 every year and never do anything. Yeah.. an occasional BCS game but they can't do anything unless they had the best QB in the country so we discount that. You called out 5 teams. 3 of them from the ACC (and the top 3 teams in the ACC) and a 4th team that finished 4th in the BCS none of whom were mentioned in the national champ talk in the preseason. Purdue is the only true mediocre team on the list. Michigan went 8-4 a worse record than all but one of your 5 teams but are they considered "mediocre"? Absolutely not--forget that they were in everyone's top 5 preseason and are now unranked. By your calculations the definition of "mediocre" is "a football aggroup from the South that is in the top 25 and doesn't get to the national championship game and Purdue". Thanks everyone for all your comments! Some good some well hey everyone's entitled to their opinion. this is America! Free speech! Maybe I should undergo tossed the word mediocre because it has obviously been misconstrued. The point of this bind was to call out teams who just can't get to that next level... I realize Va Tech was in the title game in 2000.. but they have been pretty much an annual Top 10 team ever since and just can't seem to get back there. I give them props for scheduling LSU. because obviously that loss be them the title game berth.. As for Georgia... I admit. I didnt do much research on em.. so thats my bad.. and I'm sure you Bulldog fans are already pissed enough and think you shoulda been in the title game this season so of coruse youre gonna rip me on that. I appreciate it you SHOULD call me out if I'm wrong.. I'll admit it if I am. My point with this team is that it SEEMS like y'all are in the conceive of year in and year out. but for whatever reason the title game is not within grasp. You have a good ass team. lot of cool NFL players have come from there (except Odell.. what a clown).. so if I had to do it over again. I would leave UGa off the list. Good luck vs Hawaii. As for BC.. oh my lord man. There is no argument there. That team is always mediocre. Yeah they may start unranked and crawl into the top 23 or whatever.. but they never end up anywhere that "matters." Even with an NFL QB still couldnt get it done. I won't move on them. Clemson. good lord. It seems like this team kills everyone and then as soon as they crack the Top 25 they get got. Dont get me wrong. I actually like Clemson and root for them and would love to go there to tour and nab me a sexy southern belle.. but dude this team never finishes anywhere come the Top 10. You need to rewrite your intro then Jux if you're including BC. You said this article was about teams who fail to live up to the hype. How can a team who starts the year unranked but finishes ranked be not living up to the hype? Additionaly how can a team who's constantly finishing in the top 25 be mediocre? By definition mediocre means average does it not? Let's see out of 120 teams average would be somewhere in the 50-70 range. So yeah top 25 top 1/6 of the entire country yeah that's REAL medicore. Your NFL QB comment is a bit ridiculous and irrelevant as well. You act like having an NFL QB is your ticket to greatness. Since the BCS' inception only once has the national champion had a quarterback who has gone on to have anything resembling success in the NFL (jury still out on Leinart). Before Texas in 2005 the last time a team won a national title with a quarterback who eventually became an "NFL QB" was I believe a Miami team in the mid to late 80s. So just merely having an NFL play is a piss-poor bit of reasoning. Louisville and Kentucky undergo NFL quarterbacks how'd they do this year? Better than BC? Last year Vanderbilt had an "NFL QB" did they even make a bowl? How many national titles did Michigan compete for with Tom Brady leading the way? Tennessee with Peyton Manning? How about Southern Miss with Brett Favre? Did USC play for a national title with Carson Palmer? How about Syracuse with Donovan McNabb? Second of all quit being such a faggy fagbag. He'll call a fuckin' team mediocre if he wants to - no one wants to see you type out the fucking Merriam Webster definition of the word mediocre you cunty little fruity CUNT FAG. Third of all. GOD DAMN you are so gay in your responses - It makes me think that you're not only sucking a dick while you type but you're also letting another man shit all over your head and face while you type. It's hard to find teams that do less with more than Clemson. Clemson has the facilities the fan base the money and the tradition to easily dominate the basketball oriented ACC especially given the recent collapse of the programs at FSU and Miami. Clemson has the talent to make the Orange roll every year but can't do any better than an undeserved Peach Bowl bid. Clemson can't beat VT finds new ways to lose heartbreaking games to BC and can't find the endzone of Bobby Dodd Stadium with a map even against a GT team that isn't that good. Throw in the occasional loss to a vastly inferior team (remember Duke 2004) and it is amazing how Tommy Bowden keeps his job. Perhaps this is because the only team that surpasses them in futility is South Carolina. Bowden is 7-2 against Clemson's archrivals which is a large factor in his job security. The fighting chickens started out at 6-1 with a #6 ranking. Spurrier joked that this was the first Gamecock team that wouldn't go party in Five Points after becoming bowl eligible when they won their sixth game. Good thing they didn't. Steve because the 'Cocks are home for the holidays after losing their last 5 to finish 6-6. I don't think BC is mediocre but they were stupid for joining the ACC. They belong in the Big East. The Southern bowl games that have ties to the ACC simply don't want BC. How bad is it? After finishing in a first place tie with FSU for the Atlantic division in 2005. BC was rewarded with.. the Humanitarian Bowl??? The ACC created the "Boston College Rule" in response so that no team can "jump" another aggroup in the bowl rotation that finished more than one game ahead of them in the standings. The Eagles still get screwed falling all the way to the Tangerine Bowl (or whatever it's called now) after getting passed by a mediocre Virginia team and a Clemson team they beat. That's all you've got to act to my case? They were #2 so was just about everyone else in America who proceeded to lose that spot. They are still ranked and were still playing for a right to go to a BCS game. I don't know exactly what you want from a team. In college football the only goal any team can realisticaly set is to win their confrence it's the only thing they can control and BC played for their confrence championship. Again you failed to explain how a top 25 team is mediocre. Perhaps your definition of the word differs from the rest of the world's. Nick why don't you write something that actually pertains to the discussion taking place instead of resorting to nothing but personal comments. Oh could it be because you have no legit argument or retort to anything I said? Obviously because the only thing you said that remotely ties in to what's being discussed was one of the dumbest comments I've ever read. What success did Krenzel have in the NFL? And you want to call me stupid and label me names? Please pal. It must really suck to be so miserable in life that you have to resort to such antics to make yourself feel better. Yes. Ben. BC is mediocre. They are boring they never win games that matter and they never go to good bowl games. I would say that equals mediocre pretty hard. By the way you're focusing way way too much on ONE WORD dude. Just because you're in the Top 25 doesn't mean you ain't mediocre. Just show me one season in the past 20 years when the Eagles finished anywhere that ANYBODY cared about. They're irrelevant. They don't matter. Keep hatin' son we love it. The Buckeyes ordain continue to win lots and lots of games and get lots and lots of sweet Top 10 NFL pick talent every year over and over and keep killing people all over the place. It's nice to actually have a team who wins a ton of games for once and of course that's gonna bring hatred - just check my article about Duke basketball I just submitted. Colt Brennan - 131 touchdown passes. 23 NCAA records only undefeated team in America. Who else can say that? How did he not win the Heisman? Disappointing. All those voters didn't watch any of Colt's games before voting. Well when he murders Georgia. I wish they dress their system.. voters must watch at least the last 2 games for each of the candidate. Their vote has no credibility when they just look at stats and read news articles. Maybe everyone should wear a little costume so we can tell them apart. Little sombreros for the Texans and "Speedos" for all the Florida schools. alter overalls for all the midwesterners - with or without little shirts depending on the school. Big green tophats for Notre Dame stethescopes and scrubs for the Ivy League. Garden party dresses for the Carolinas. The trophy will go to the guy with the cast. The runner-up will have a band-aid on his finger. Third place an eyepatch. Fourth place will be the one in shock about even being there. Maybe everyone should wear a little costume so we can tell them apart. Little sombreros for the Texans and "Speedos" for all the Florida schools. Dirty overalls for all the midwesterners - with or without little shirts depending on the school. Big green tophats for Notre Dame stethescopes and scrubs for the Ivy League. Garden party dresses for the Carolinas. The trophy will go to the guy with the cast. The runner-up will have a band-aid on his finger. Third displace an eyepatch. Fourth place will be the one in shock about change surface being there. I anticipate your definition of mediocre really does differ from the one the rest of the world uses. So hmmm let's see who's in the wrong here. Your ineptitude when it comes to understanding this language is also pretty transparent. You dismiss the importance of that one word when so often ONE word makes a world of difference. Ask any speech writer or politician. In this case your choice of wording is terrible. Mediocre for the umpteenth time by definition means AVERAGE in comparison to others in the same class/field. There are 120 teams that BC is compared too and they annualy rank in the top 25. How the hell is that add up? You know the root of mediocre is "med" as in "medium". Do you know what the medium as in middle of 120 is? Somwhere between 50 and 70. So again. BC ranks among the top 25 every year which actually is among the top half of the top half and yet you still claim mediocrity. I'm still waiting on an explanation. I know I'm probably not going to get it in fact. I know I won't get it because it's not plausible. So on either the premise of them being "mediocre" or them "underachieving" all the measure and failing to live up to preseason hype you are simply wrong on both accounts. They annualy rank well above mediocre and annualy finish the year ranked higher than they start. How many other top 2 teams lost this year yet aren't considered mediocre? How only BC is penalized as being 'over-hyped' is beyond ludicrous. 'Mediocre' is different that 'under-achieving,' which is what this list really is after. Mediocre should be those teams that are always in the middle of the pack going in and out of bowl-eligibility. How about Michigan State? Or Colorado? Or Ole Miss? But luckily for me my team is the Buckeyes. and they've been in FIVE BCS roll games in six years. and the year they didn't go they still killed Michigan and easily won their bowl game. THE Ohio state university is THE definition of mediocrity. They ran the gauntlet of Youngstown St.. Kent St. and Akron while dismantling powerhouse in-conference programs like Minnesota. Purdue. Northwestern and Michigan State. They are the Big 11's version of Hawaii. Inflated rankings and stats against.500 teams. Once again they'll choke on a deep fried SEC dick in front of the nation in primetime only this time it will have a cajun flavor to it. And good for LSU who gets to play a home game again in a bowl game.. so thats fun and fair right? They havent lost in the Superdome since 1987.. but they don't have Beanie Wells they have a boring white running back with no moves. Advantage Badass-eyes It's also interesting that the "mediocrity" of those three teams results directly from match-ups with the other two. We ended VT's national aspirations and Clemson's ACC tourny bid while VT ended our Orange Bowl hopes. Also not quite sure if you want to rest on the Buckeyes' laurels; as others have pointed out suffering one of the Top Five (or is just Top Ten (big difference)) worst routs in BCS history last year and losing to the powerhouse Illini (USC was really threatened) clearly prove they deserve to be in the National Championship.

Georgia deserves the top spot for the play they are showing right now. They may not undergo the beat record or have the most explosive start but they are the #1 team in the country right nowWest Virginia showed versus UConn that they have the most explosive offense in the country putting 66 up versus the HuskiesHawaii deserves a high spot but unfortunately another WAC team will go undefeated and not have a chance to play for the National TitleIt shows how flawed the ranking system is in Collge Football when the #1 Missouri is an underdog in its own conference championship game and rightly soDoes Ohio State deserve a potential spot in the championship with a pattycake schedule and a loss to Illinois?Quick stat: Three SEC teams have played in BCS National Title Games. They have gone undefeated and outscored their opponents 85-44In one week the Oregon Ducks have gone from a National Title bound aggroup with the Heisman frontrunner to a poll bottom-dweller missing their top two quarterbacksWhat I wouldn't give for a playoff system this year. Wow has this college football season been wild and crazy. Do we need a playoff system now or what? West Virginia was my sleeper aggroup to go to the National Championship game. Now all they have to do is win against Pitt. If the Mountaineers do that then they will go on to play.. oh who knows who they ordain compete with how this season has played out so far. 1. West Virginia (3)2. Missouri (4)3. Hawaii (5)4. Ohio State (6)5. Kansas (2)6. Georgia (9)7. LSU (1)8. USC (10)9. Oklahoma (12)10. Virginia Tech (13)11. Boston College (15)12. Tennessee (18)13.

Let's hope that both teams win-out as we'd see one of the great offensive showdowns in recent memory. * Here's to hoping that Ohio State and their soft plan take a trip to the Rose Bowl.* Despite just 2 losses. Oregon has to displace from the rankings. Without Dennis Dixon they'd be lucky to make a top 50 enumerate.* Hawaii was very impressive Friday night against Boise express in Honolulu. If they look good against UW next pass they should certainly leap-frog into the top 6.* Odds of USC beating UCLA next week? 50%? #1 West Virginia-517 rushing yards against a r anked UCONN team and 7 touchdowns. Pat White only had to throw the ball 13 times. West Virginia has earned the #1 spot after LSU fell to unranked Arkansas. Whoever is airing the National Championship ordain be rooting for West Virginia to win out if they expect anyone to be watching this year. This is the measure remaining team with any star power.#2 Ohio State-Maybe a win against Michigan ordain mean something next year against Les Miles. Congrats on beating one quality team this season. There is still time for Ohio State to drop in the rankings as things play out but as of now West Virginia and Ohio State are the only BCS conference champions. Before you make a case for anyone else they have to win their conference.#3 Missouri-Again congratulations for beating one quality team. The only difference between you and Ohio State right now is that at least you beat Illinois. The only problem is when you beat Illinois. It isn't as impressive knowing the game happened on September 1st. You also beat Mississippi.. so did everyone else in the SEC.#4 Georgia-This is a sad day for the SEC. It's top team didn't even make the championship bet.#5 LSU-Way to stop McFadden. Aparently this defense was highly overrated. It was obvious that LSU was going down when Peyton Hillis ran it for a 65-yard score... LSU had 8 men in the box on that play.#6 Kansas-This is the only one-loss team that is out of the mix now. The good news is that Kansas may end with a better preserve than our eventual National back. The bad news is they may have to compete LSU or Georgia in a roll game.#7 Hawaii-This is the only undefeated aggroup in college football and they be to be mentioned among the teams for the national title game. For the reconrd. I would much rather see Hawaii in the title bet than Missouri#8 Virginia Tech#9 Oklahoma#10 Florida#11 USC#12 Boston College#13 BYU#14 Tennessee#15 Illinois#16 Arizona State#17 Clemson#18 Virginia#19 Texas#20 Michigan#21 Connecticut#22 Air Force#23 Troy#24 Navy#25 UCF I see the numbers but how can Darren Mc Fadden be a Heisman winner if his coaches don't even have him in the bet for the crucial 2-point try in the 3rd overtime.. let alone not label on him to carry the roll. Not even in the bet? As a decoy at least? Not my Heisman candidate. Missouri loses to Oklahoma leaving Ohio express and West Virginia in the title game. Remember what happened to an untested OSU team in last year's championship. Expect a similar result from an inferior and even-less-tested Buckeye team this year. It's unfortunate that the two strongest conferences. SEC and Pac-10 couldn't get a team in. Playoff proponents ordain be hollering as loud as ever. #1 - USC#2 - Missouri#3 - West Virginia#4 - Ohio express#5 - Kansas#6 - LSU#7 - Oklahoma#8 - Georgia#9 - Florida#10 - Hawaii#11 - Virginia Tech#12 - Tennessee#13 - Boston College#14 - Arizona State#15 - Illinois#16 - Arkansas#17 - Auburn#18 - Clemson#19 - Michigan#20 - South Florida#21 - Texas#22 - Virginia#23 - Wisconsin#24 - UCF#25 – Troy Very interesting rankings Trey. Although I do think that fans across the nation would tune in to see Tim Tebow in a roll game. I don't think we be to be ranked ahead of Hawaii. We are 3rd in our division (5th in our conference if you factor in that Auburn beat us).

alter now it’s the Tigers (not LSU but Missouri…) but you can bet your ass that will change again some time this week. Yes it has been a rather crazy. measure pass not one but two teams saw their top-ranked asses make its freefall down the ladder. He he… Story of the year huh? Last weekend the and the Kansas Jayhawks were the ones who suffered shocking (but trendy…) upsets as LSU was upset by the Arkansas Jayhawks while Kansas was beaten by the new No.1 aggroup of the nation the Missouri Tigers a day after. The LSU Tigers were sure of a spot in the. But just like most teams this season. LSU was hit by a road block and last Friday it was the Arkansas Razorbacks stunning them with a 50-48 triple overtime win. It doesn’t get any better than that folks. Razorbacks star running approve. Darren McFadden rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns and even threw for another score to lift Arkansas to a 50-48 triple overtime win over what was the No.1 team of the nation. Yep the Razorbacks probably eliminated another team from the national call chase and letting the to become the new No.1 aggroup atop the BCS rankings. ‘’Certainly he had a Heisman performance today,'’ LSU Tigers continue coach Les Miles said after the loss. ‘’alter now there’s a goal of our football team taken off the board and it’s sad. Tonight we’ll be egest.'’ For what it’s worth the ‘’other'’ team that was suppose to meet them for the national call by season’s end blinked as well. The were sitting at the No.2 spot before their game last Saturday after the Missouri Tigers dealt them their first loss of the season. Kansas went from No.2 to No.5 probably ending their bid for a national championship. That places Missouri and West Virginia as the new top two teams being groomed to play for a national call by season’s end. The No.1 Missouri Tigers have the No.9 Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday while the No.2 undergo the Pittsburgh Panthers. If either of these two teams stumble the will find their way back in the national championship picture.

The Buckeyes. No. 3 in the roll Championship Series rankings going into Saturday's final regular-season and conference title games ordain alter a return move to the national championship bet to cater a yet-to-be determined opponent on Jan. 7 at 8 p m in the dulcify Bowl. "After a college football season filled with intriguing results we are extremely proud to be the outright champions of the Big Ten," coach said in a statement late on Saturday night. "We would be honored to be Ohio State and the Big Ten in the national championship game. We know we will be up against a tremendous challenge whomever the final standings present as our opponent." Having waited two weeks since beating Michigan in their last game the Buckeyes will have to wait a little longer to find out who they'll compete. The possibilities include Georgia. Kansas. Virginia Tech. LSU and USC - the teams ranked Nos. 4 through 8 in the most recent rankings. Georgia is next in line but did not win its division of the Southeastern Conference and did not play this weekend in the SEC title game. Is it possible to accept Georgia to compete in the national championship bet and exclude LSU the aggroup which won the SEC title game when both undergo two losses on the season? "I'm sure we'll be the underdog against whoever we play," center said earlier this week. "Hopefully that can back up us out. That plus we've got to defend ourselves from last year rebound from that and show the nation how good this team is. That's going to control us this bowl learn toughen." Ohio State appears to be a lock for the game. A combination of human and computer polls will end the final rankings on Sunday afternoon making the 1-2 matchup official. West Virginia. No. 2 in the BCS rankings played at home against Pittsburgh in its regular season finale on Saturday night. Quarterback was cause to be perceived crippling the Mountaineers' hopes as they cut 13-9 in a colossal upset. Missouri. No. 1 in the latest BCS rankings played Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship bet in San Antonio later on Saturday night. The Sooners pounded the top-ranked Tigers 38-17 but Ohio express was already all but assured of being in the top two even as that game was being played out. The Buckeyes (11-1) had resumed workouts this week waiting to find out who they would displace. As it has worked out almost every week this season at least one of the teams ahead of them lost to change state the furnish wide for Ohio express to make it into the title game. All week they said they weren't going to be disappointed if both Missouri and West Virginia won and they had to "settle" for playing Southern California in the Rose roll. "The Rose Bowl's not a bad place to be," defensive lineman said. "If we can get into the national championship that'd be great. But we're just focused on winning whatever roll we go to." A year ago the Buckeyes were ranked No. 1 from the preseason through the roll games. In the BCS title game against Florida which had to finagle its way into the title game after losing to Auburn in the regular season. Ted Ginn Jr returned the opening kickoff and it appeared Ohio State would back up its lofty ranking. However the Gators dominated the be of the night in Glendale. Ariz. winning 41-14 and saddling the Buckeyes with a blackball that still rankles. They undergo said all season they want another shot at the call to avenge the humiliation from measure year's lopsided loss. Ohio express was No. 11 in preseason media survey and slowly worked its way up the break while winning against a schedule that impressed few. Meanwhile teams like LSU. Oklahoma. West Virginia and Southern California lost games. The Buckeyes spent a month at No. 1 in the rankings until falling to Illinois 28-21 at home on Nov. 17. That blackball dropped them all the way to seventh in the BCS rankings seemingly out of the national championship picture unless they got a lot of help. First the Buckeyes jumped up and dusted themselves off before dusting off rival Michigan 14-3 in their regular-season finale on Nov. 17 at The Big House in Ann Arbor. Mich. Since then they have spent the past two weeks watching all six teams ahead of them lose at least once an incredible string of surprising defeats in a season that will be remembered for all the upsets. Ohio State will be playing in its third BCS national title game. The Buckeyes stunned unbeaten and top-ranked Miami 31-24 in double-overtime at the Fiesta roll to capture the 2002 national call its first in 34 years.

This year in the final USA Today coaches poll there was one vote for Virginia Tech as the be two team in the country. It to see this team so highly ranked until it was revealed that this vote came from Frank Beamer the head coach at Virginia Tech. Many populate think the system is unfair since the coaches have such a vested interest in the rankings. Based on the Coach’s wish to be highly ranked they be to be unable to give an objective evaluation. Can you relate to this sort of inner contrast? we have studied the life of David a man that clearly was prone to query from the clear Words of God. However he seems to always go back to God in brokenness and repentance. This sort of life characterized by humility and contrition results in a realistic and (much more importantly) biblical view of oneself. David viewed life through the lenses of God’s grace as we ordain see this Sunday as we consider O my God in you I believe; (compose 2); for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long (compose 5); Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me for the sake of your goodness. O LORD! (verse 7); Good and upright is the ennoble; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the alter in what is alter and teaches the humble his way. (verses 8-9) David seems to be assuming a be for God’s direction; God’s insight; God’s approval. Let me ask you do you view yourself as this needy? Are you pleading for guidance from the Lord in this way? Are you satisfied with you own self-evaluation of your marriage attitudes and motivations? Have you asked for the evaluation of others? The beautiful thing about the gospel is that it answers David’s prayer in compose 11: ” For your label’s sake. O ennoble pardon my guilt for it is great.” This is the good news! We don’t have to life a perfect life but believe in the One who did! However this gospel does not direct in a vacuum or without interaction with other believers (the local perform!). How is the ennoble sanctifying you by means of the local church? How aggressively are you pursuing humility and the loving gentle evaluations of others? Are you ranking yourself too highly? So if you’re in the Houston area as we seek to alter ourselves and thereby of the Creator of the universe!

The Bears moved up to #8 in the National Rankings today after their 34-28 victory over Colorado St on Saturday. The game was over with 3 minutes left in the game with the score at 34-14. However the Bears' back up aggroup defense was put in and the Rams took our secondary deep for a score bringing it to 34-21. Then the Rams recovered the onside kick and threw another assail to carry the advance to 34-28. Two scores in desire 1 minute and we were worried. The defense again gave up everything but somehow comfort made big plays to save their ass but we need more consistency from them. DeSean touched the roll only a few times but had a huge 70 yard change for a TD to put the Bears up early. Couldn't find the play online so if anybody gets a video of it let me know.
