USC should have received all the #1 votes after blowing out OSU.

[pavyracer]

USC should have received all the #1 votes after blowing out OSU.

It's much tougher winning on the road in own conference than winning at home on any Big Ten team.

[JRS21386]

USC should have received all the #1 votes after blowing out OSU.

And the blowout doesnt mean USC is God... It just means Ohio St. didn't belong in Top 10... I have never thought OSU was good...

[teaserpleaser]

Vandy still cant crack the top 25

[JRS21386]

Vandy still cant crack the top 25

Yeah i don't understand how WVU moved up 4 spots and didnt even play saturday and Vandy is left outta the mix... I guess the name "Vanderbilt" has to dig itself out of a hole full of crappy history before sports writers give them a chance..

[Deuce]

Texas Tech should not be 11. Tons of teams below them that could blow them out.

[pavyracer]

Why is Florida St in the poll? The I-AA win against Chattanooga at home must have impressed the pollsters!

[JRS21386]

I agree...

[daneblazer]

A big 10 team getting blown out away from home by a team built around speed? What's new?

As long as USC doesn't fall asleep at the wheel, they'll cruise to an undefeated season.

FSU hasn't played a soul yet, but I think they're a darkhorse. The ACC stinks.

The SEC with 5 top 10 teams...wow

[JRS21386]

Florida St. will always get credit for crap wins...

[mmike032]

USC played their toughest game of the year last night. What a joke.
every conference other than the SEC is weak. you put USC or OS in the SEC and how many games you think they'd win a year then.
Granted USC did impress me last night but if they played the caliber teams that are in the SEC than it'd be a different story every year.

I believe you could take some of the weaker teams in the SEC and they would beat every PAC-10 & BIG-10 school with exception to USC

I completely agree... Miss St. Defense would rape the Offenses of the Big and Pac 10

[pavyracer]

It's the raw truth Deuce. Put any SEC team in the PAC-10 and they go undefeated.

You know what it may be a blessing in disguise I've made $$$ on Vanderbilt 3 weeks in a row if they made it into the top 25 they would probably have a letdown and lose. The best value team in the NCAA!!

[daneblazer]

lol

[JRS21386]

GL if it stays that way!

[mmike032]

USC baths in the unfounded glory year after year while the SEC beats each other up. I would love to see UGA/USC in the BCS title game. After yesterdays game though, I'm not so sure UGA will make it through the toughest schedule in college football

Thats ok cause if Georgia doesnt another SEC team will

[mmike032]

and that my friend is a fact. but i dont think OS will take the pounding this year
It USCs turn to be imbarrased by the SEC

Sorry man I love Georgia they made me money yesterday hell i was born in the ATL but USC would destroy that Bulldog team I saw yesterday that played South Carolina, LSU would be the SEC's best bet to beat USC. Georgia scored 14 points on the SC gamecocks D that is good but is not even in the same league with USC's D

[Mr KLC]

Penn St should be moved up a few spots.

LSU???? I don't think so... Im thinkn Florida if not Georgia..

I agree but if your a Dawg fan then you know Spurrier has their number every time they play dating back to FLA days.
Nothing new this year and UGA left their A game in Athens yesterday. If it wasnt for penaties and dropped passes the score would have been 24-7.
We'll see what they do agaisnt Arizona ST next week.

[daneblazer]

Right now it looks like it's going to be USC and whoever is more impressive between the Big 12 and SEC Champion.

Normally this week would be a huge letdown after a win like USC had, but they have a bye and next play Oregon State. The schedule sets up perfectly for them. You can't deny that they are a great team, but USC is like FSU in the 90's. Play a good team or two every year and play in a flakey conference. Oregon and Cal have their moments, but that's it.

[mmike032]

I havent watched any of LSU yet but I dont think so. Fla has a better chance but then again it all comes down to the OCT game in Jacksonville if UGA decides to get their shit together

[JRS21386]

Im ready for Alabama @ Georgia in 2 weeks!

[teaserpleaser]

Did you watch Georgia yesterday... IF they play like that Arizona ST may clip them. LSU has a better D alot of future NFL talent, more than Georgia from what i see. Florida yeah they have alot of skill players... It might not matter though all the SEC teams beat themselves up playing each other USC will probably play the winner of oklahoma and Missouri. Georgia will lose a SEC game before its all said and done.

[Kingctb27]

Mizzo or Oklahoma will be in the nat'l championship. Book it.
