The BCS will be fun this year

South of Seattle

USC lost to the worst team in the Pac-10 and Florida is winning. Are the top 2 teams gonna be Cal and UCF?

I'm really pissed that the Ducks lost to Cal now. We could have been #1 next week.

ucf? dyou know anything about college football? the buckeyes just about shut out one of the top offenses in the country. if florida takes lsu down, the national championship bid is ours to lose.

I did actually mean to put USF, even though I was talking smack with Sam about UCF losing

Buckeye's will be either 2 or 3 next week. Here are my predicted top 5
1. LSU
2. Cal
3. OSU
4. USF
5. BC

i was truly hoping. after last year's championship game, i never thought i'd be pulling for florida. but i have to say, lsu's got a tougher schedule and cal is likely to lose at some point, so i still think it's osu's bid to lose. the big ten is kinda mediocre this season so if the buckeyes can keep up their intensity, we could get another crack at that trophy

gotcha, didnt know she was a ucf fan

i went to ucf...and our football team is crap, which is why the comment was so funny to me...and shocking to you i guess with the typo!?

i really can't believe that usf has come out of nowhere this year...crazy!

and after last year, i can't believe that you would be pulling for florida either. but, it makes sense if you're looking out for what will help osu later in the season. don't you guys have enough championship trophies

yeah, but i'm pretty sure cal will drop one game at some point. we're lucky to have a pretty soft schedule this season. then again, if florida beat lsu and then ran the table... we might get another crack at those fuckers

Everyone who says Cal will lose at some point needs to look at there schedule. The only tough game they have left is USC and its in Berkley. If they can finally get that monkey off of there back and beat SC, they can run the table and go to the championship game.

Cal is way more talented then most people realize, especially people living on the East Coast. The win against Oregon was one of the more entertaining games of the season.

initially, i was ecstatic becos i though for sure cal would drop one by the end of the season and leave osu as a lock for the title game given a soft big ten this year. but you make some good points. oregon on the road was a huge and impresive win for cal. but it does look like SC is their only big one left and i think they can take them. do they play asu? they could easily run the table.

on the flip side, ohio state looks solid, but i fear the big ten isn't as bad as people say. wisconsin has been exposed as over-rated (similar to usc... a series of crapy wins leading finally to a loss) and osu plays them at home. but penn state looks solid and osu has to go into happy valley at night for that one, which is tough no matter what team you are. we've also got michigan on the road and they are much better than they showed at the start of the season and if osu is still undefeated at that point, a win in the big house that derails our national championship run would give carr a huge boost he badly needs. plus, illinois is starting to look like a real threat, which means osu's toughest 3 games are its last 3... they've got to be sharp and hope beanie wells stays healthy enough for big games by then.

the other big player, lsu, looks pretty invincible at this point. their toughest game is over. but then, nothing is certain in the sec and a loss in the sec championship could cost them the bid.

so at this point, it seems like a crapshoot to me. i think the top 3 are the surest bets right now... if only one of them loses. but it seems possible that all 3 of these teams can run the table, which would lead to some tough judgment calls. given the tenor of this season though, it seems likely at least one if not 2-3 of them will have a loss. then what? when you open the field to one-loss teams, it's a whole new ballgame... oklahoma? oregon? sc? then there are BC and USF... if they go undefeated and cal and osu both drop a game, do they get the bids?

this is looking to be a seriously off the wall season. i love it.

Sure would be a great year for a playoff system.

Top 8 teams going at it over 3 weekends.

There is a very good chance that LSU will be the only unbeaten team by bowl season. This will be the year that needs a playoff system more then any other year.

The BCS is praying that Cal or OSU runs the table to save them a giant nightmare.

Key games coming up...

LSU has Kentucky, Auburn and Alabama as their next three games. I think any one of them is capable of upsetting LSU.

Cal still has to play at Arizona State, and ASU has been quietly climbing the polls. And Cal-USC won't be a cream puff either.

Ohio State has to face Wisconsin and Illinois in consecutive weeks. Can they roll through the Big Ten?

Boston College will be traveling to face a streaky Virginia Tech team. Definitely not a gimmee.

South Florida still has to play both Rutgers and Louisville. I don't see USF winning both games, and one loss will put them wayyy out of the Top 10.

I say, watch out for Missouri. If they beat Oklahoma on Saturday, they have every right to crack into the top five or six.

no way is wisconsin a key game. it's at home and the last few weeks have clearly shown that wisconsin, like usc, was vastly over-rated. osu should be much more worried about illinois, who seems to be knocking off every ranked team in the big ten, and michigan on the road, a good team that has to win out to prove they are not a joke. those are osu's key games. it's a rough finish. but i agree with all the rest, except maybe lsu. i'm not convinced any of those can take them. the way they bore down against florida makes them look pretty legit. usc has had cracks in the armor for weeks. i don't see any of that in lsu so i dobut they're really upset-prone.

I love how BC is #4 in the nation and nobody in Boston could give a F*** because the Pats are undefeated and rolling like a machine and the Sox are in the ALCS and avoided their biggest rival. This must piss off Norman, OK, Knoxville, TN, Lincoln, NE, and Tuscaloosa, AL and any other college town where if the local team was in the top 5 you wouldn't hear the end of it.
