    Who hoo!!! Hook'em.

    Tellshow's projected top 10 BCS is.

    1. Ohio State
    2. Michigan
    3. Louisville
    4. Texas
    5. Fla.
    6. Auburn
    7. CAL
    8. USC
    9. ND
    10. W.Va.

    Texas is very likely to win out. But with OSU at .9864 and UM at .9697 and Texas and Fla at .7966 and .7956, if we both win out and OSU/UM play a very close well fought game, would either of them drop enough for somebody to slip into 2nd place? I of course am assuming that Louisville takes gas at Rutgers this comming Thursday. :)

    Looks like a dogfight between Texas and UF only if Louisville loses.

    Nice for UF that FSU won yesterday and if the noles beat WF that will also help UF's SOS. A one loss Auburn team in the SECCG is who the Gators need to beat for BCS consideration. If that happens I think Texas is toast!

    I do have an answer to how many places the loser of our game with Michigan, will drop in the polls! However, I would think only two or three at the most.

    Don I think a lot depends on how the game plays out, I could envision a well played tough tight game where if OSU loses they drop to #2 and if UM loses they stay at #2.

    I think that Texas if we win out have a tougher schedule to keep us ahead of Fla. Fla plays a W.Carolina next and then the worst FSU team in a long time to end the regular season. In the B12 championship game we have a likely rematch with the Cornhuskers and Fla has either Ark or Auburn so they might have a higher rated opponent there if either of them stays at 1 loss. But I don't think it would be enough to allow Fla to jump over us.

    Terry,

    FSU may well be ranked by the time UF plays them or very close to it.

    Unranked Nebraska vs. a top 4 or 5 ranked Auburn and you don't think Florida would get a huge advantage with that kind of win?

    The W.Carolina game will kill you in the computers.

    Yeah..you're right...the addition of a meaningless 12th game is going to hurt Florida no doubt.

    To me...it's not all that important anyway if it doesn't happen. UF can't control everything that shakes out. The upsets yesterday in the SEC didn't help either.
    Still a ton of football to be played anyway so no one can put an exact finger on it anyway. Corso says USC winning out puts the Trogs back in it.

    It already did, we took the hit and current rankings reflect that ...Fla will now take that hit just like ND will take a hit for playing Army.

    At least Army is a IA school.

    What's your point? A really bad 1A school, maybe amongst the worst in 1A right now, vs a 1AA school? I don't see the difference. Don't get me wrong I would rather never play a 1AA school, but at some point in terms of competitiveness it really doesn't matter. If Army played in the Southland Conference with Sam Houston State, they'd be a middle of the pack school and Sam would beat them most years.

    Every 1A school was looking for another game opponent. Some apparently couldn't find each other. Was Odessa high not available?

    Again I don't get your point? If ND had say gotten BYU or Col State or a decent 1A team sure I'd say we could lord it over all those schools who got a 1AA, but we ended up with the equivalent game Army, who would not be a very good 1AA school right now.

    Terry...that's just Gip being Gip.

    A lot of teams were stuck with this 12th game and so far I don't see the use for it unless better scheduling can be constructed.

    Hey...maybe Florida can get Stanford in for WCarolina and we'll see if the SOS improves.... :lol: :lol:

    ummm

    <t>they are projecting that the current team in 1st in the SEC doesn't go to a BCS game?<br/>
    <br/>
    Talk about people tinkering with the rankings. It doesn't serve the masters of the SEC uber alles posse to rank Arkansas over anyone considered a 'power' because USC took them to the woodshed on opening night.<br/>
    <br/>
    There's one problem with all of this, someone's gotta beat Arkansas. <br/>
    <br/>
    Tennessee is a bad matchup for the Hogs because its physical on physical and they have the DBs to matchup against a tall WR. The problem may be that UT could be banged up along the lines.<br/>
    <br/>
    And excuse the hell outta me but at this moment, the real Heisman leader should be that McFadden kid.<br/>
    <br/>
    Does anyone really watch these games?</t>
