    I'm shocked that OU is on top.

    BCS

    West Virgina at #20 the only Big East team in the top 25.

    Here we go again. If the game were held today, Boise would be uninvited, although they're ranked #2 in both polls. Send in the...

    Computer ranking musings:

    Surprisingly high computer rankings: Mich St, Okla, TCU

    Surprisingly low computer rankings: Alabama, Oregon

    About what I expected: Ohio St, Boise, Auburn, LSU

    Prediction:

    The LSU-Auburn winner jumps into the top two

    Computers are what will keep Boise out if they go undefeated. As I said in another topic, if they continue to win with good style points the humans will likely keep them at #2.

    I remember in prior years complaining about the computer polls but getting some flack. I still feel the same way.

    I am not sure how it works, but Oklahoma seems to always be better in the computer than the polls. The year LSU beat Oklahoma I think that USC was first in both polls but fell to third because of the computers. I think the AP was still part of the BCS at that time and still voted USC number one. The AP then dropped out later.

    I still don't trust the computers.

    But hey it isn't going to make any difference to the Gators this year.

    Same here......even though they have generally been friends of UF due to SOS ratings.

    Oregon vs UCLA tomorrow night, which UCLA team will show up? Will it be a close game or a blowout?

    I'll be sitting there with my popcorn, rooting for the Bruins!! :)
