not true. strength of schedule can move teams ahead of other teams.

why isn't kansas and hawaii in the top five? this poll shows that it doesn't matter who you play as long as you win.

It's interesting to see where the humans and computers differ:

BC averaged #5.5 in the computers, #2 with the humans

USC averaged #24 in the computers, #9 with the humans

USF was #1 in at least 4 of the 6 computer polls

also not much love for Oklahoma in the computers...averaged about #14

exactly...which is why they have a guaranteed spot with Rutgers, Louisville, Pitt, and Cincy still left.

Garbage wins. It won't matter for Kansas after Missouri buries them-if they make it that far undefeated.

Garbage wins is an understatement when it comes to Hawaii-give me a freaking break. It won't matter for them either unless they pull off a miracle win vs. Boise, but anything is possible with the refs out there.

Talk about a couple of frauds who haven't played anyone.

The_Man · Oct 14, 2007

south fla will end up with 2-3 losses this year

Destiny is in SOUTH FLORIDAs hands.........in that they control their own.

It will still be very difficult for them to run the table ...........@ RUTGERS Thursday.

Hawaii has zero defense and has a lackluster schedule

BC-Eagles · Oct 14, 2007

BC - VTech is the biggest game of our season. Tough 5 games coming up...

PyRoCaPPer · Oct 14, 2007

Surprised USC is above FLA.

Surprised Oregon is behind WVU....

Actually, the more I look at it-the more of a joke both of these team are.

They've beaten NO ONE(much unlike S. Florida).

THAT IS EXACTLY MY POINT. OHIO ST AND BC HAVE BEATEN NO ONE, SO WHY ARE THEY AHEAD OF KANSAS AND HAWAII?

The bulls are this years Boise State broncos cinderella team I think

good luck to the little guy!

Railbird · Oct 14, 2007

So Fla best talent. Not going to out physical them either.

jeckll · Oct 14, 2007

God the BCS is a fucking joke. Punish the teams who play in conferences like the SEC and Pac10 while rewarding those from crap conferences like the Big10, ACC, Big East.

OSU's marquee win is Purdue? Granted, USF has beaten WVU, but they're getting W's at places like ELON(!!) and UCF(!!)

TTinCO · Oct 14, 2007

Does it really matter who is where at this point in the season?

No

Let the season play itself out & then you can bitch.

WVU · Oct 14, 2007

go bulls. yay.

WV wins the Big East ticket to a BCS bowl. I will feel bad for the one loss USF team though, at least for a minute.

Maybe if some of these supposed upper echelon Pac 10 teams didn't lose to bottom dwellers they would be penalized as much. Those teams that you are talking shit about beat the Stanford and Oregon State type teams on there schedule so far.
