The only problem I see with either ranking is UGA ahead of us in the coaches poll, but the 9-10 range is about right.

It makes perfect sense the way those idiots vote.

No Michigan, no Iowa.

JOY.

Didn't Wisconsin beat Auburn handily? How can you justify placing them under Auburn? They just beat them for God's sakes!

Jiggs, update me. When was the last time Mich was out of the top 25?

Who did TCU lose?

 

[Domer95]

I want to see S. Superior's ballot and if ND is even on there.....

 

[AlbuquerqueIrishFan]

Who did TCU lose?

They lost to SMU, a week after they beat Oklahoma!

 

[nayers]

how does an 8-5 FSU team stay in?

 

[wahoo]

The Horned Frogs are way too high. They had a pretty weak schedule.

Somebody on another site said 25. I don't know if they were joking, but it would be a pretty damn good guess.

AP, UPI, USAToday 1984

SMU the second game of the year.

Beat OU on the road in the opener, snapped Utah's winning streak.

Good program lately. I actually visited there my senior year of high school. My tour guide was the most gorgeous blonde I think I've ever seen. She was from Chicago but had the Texas twang to her voice.

No one mentioned TCU in a BCS discussion, yet Utah got the nod last year. Those non-BCS schools have to go unbeaten and even then they might not get the big bucks.
