Looks like the voters might love Tebow more than Pete Carroll. This is definitely an interesting Top 10.

I also believe the first edition of the BCS Standings will be released either today or tomorrow.

[El Turco]

it looks like alabama is paying for suckiness of clemson team. also, i dont see why missouri is over OSU or LSU for that matter.

[LAKESHOW]

this is what i mean by overrated, was LSU truly a #3 team in the country? a ranking so high that florida deserves jumping greatness into a top 5 spot? USC defeats a #2!!!!! . . . and what??? . . . does not deserve a top 5 ranking?!??! remember, florida is a team that lost to a team AT HOME . . . . that is the equivalent of san diego state!

wow, look at the argument posted above by the SHOW . . . and you will all agree, there truly is an anti-USC slant around the country. bring missississippi to the coliseum, and i will GUARANTEE you, we slap the CENTURY mark on that team.

this is as mike tyson says, LUDICRITH!!!!

[LAKESHOW]

and another thing, OKLAHOMA DROPS FROM 1 TO 4?!!?!?!?? bull****!! they drop to the back of the line behind us and florida.

the #1 . . . 1loss team is USC. followed by florida. followed by georgia. followed by oklahoma.

i aint worried about the rest of them undefeateds up there, they'll drop. and when they do, USC should rightfully be placed right at the top.

[travis minor]

So if Florida Beats Ole Miss a couple weeks ago, I bet theyd be one spot higher in the rankings than they are now

[GSWbandwagon]

and this week's "they're only ranked high because they're from the big bad sec and have some name recognition" team is... the lsu tigers! they have some big shoes to fill, following in the footsteps of auburn who managed to go from overrated to unrated as they lost to the wazzu of the sec, arkansas.

lsu's wins are against a d1aa team at home, a sun belt team at home, a 4-3 bcs conference team on the road by 5 points, and a 10 point home win over a bcs conference team. the only time they've played a legitimately good team they got destroyed. this is the #13 team in the country?

[HMFFL]

Texas Tech needed to slip due to being favored to beat Nebraska by 20+.

[hermes]

my obscure national championship pick this week is

Bosie St. vs. Oklahoma St

[studcrackers]

id be cool with that, got a connection that can hopefully get us free tickets to the title game

Well put. I agree.

Also, I defy any of you to identify a team from 7-10 that is better than BYU. The Stormin' Mormons should be at least the No. 7 team in the nation, but the BCS is clearly on a mission to stop the party crashing.

I'll counter with Texas Tech vs. BYU.

[High 5]

Oh, bitter, bitter Pac-1 fans...

Anywho, Georgia is still in fine position if the injuries can slow down and they stop playing like retards.

[NO-KG-AI]

I think Florida and Oregon State should meet in a bowl game, because they are like equalz.

Too bad the BCS couldn't stop TCU from crashing BYU's party.

[craig01]

TCU ?

lol

[studcrackers]

it's not like tcu's a bad team, only loss has been to OU @ OU

[High 5]

Didn't say TCU was bad, but the loss still kills BYU's BCS hopes.
