Barring a miracle, another big upset as it looks like BC is going down.
What an incredible CF season...something exciting every week!

I would love to see a playoff system but this year's regular season is almost as good as March Madness.

The teams I believe that are the best in the Nation, probably won't even get a look... Oregon and Missouri... are phenoms this year... I'd pickem over anyone this year... and have a toss up, if they played each other. |

Does anyone think Ohio State should be #1 or even the best team in the country? I know I don't. LSU is the best team and no I am not a LSU fan I am actually a ND fan. And orgen is #2.

I think Oregon and LSU are the top 2 teams in the nation right now, but Kansas and Ohio State deserved to be 1 and 2.

I think whoever comes out of the big 12 championship game OU, Mizzu, or KU will end up playing OSU for the national championship.

Don't see how they would jump LSU

Is there even a best team in the country this year? If you put a 8 team bracket together and played it out 8 times I bet you get 5 different winners. There isn't a team that I watch and say, wow this team is just dominant. Its not like a 2001 Miami team or the USC teams of the past 4 years where they could run it up on teams. Just a whole lot of parody this year.

YASH---you are exactly right. (well, except you used PARODY--comedic mocking rather than PARITY-equality.
I have always been a bowl guy. I HATE the BCS system, I think it is the WORST of both worlds. This is the year for the playoff pundits...because of the very reason you stated. It would simply be foolish this season to think there is ANY way to pick two teams and say that THESE guys deserve to play for a little crystal ball more than the other guys.

Anybody see Oregon's first three drives against Arizona State? That third TD where Dixon faked the WR screen and hit the WIDE OPEN slot was pretty darn slick.

Unless you are royalty (schools at or near the top of the polls) you have no shot at playing for the title. Have a playoff system which gives automatic bids to each conference champ plus at-large bids selected by the BCS computer system. |

Whats really "upsetting" to me, about this "upset", is the fact that the "Noles" were considered underdog enough vs BC for it to even be an "upset", as good as they have been, for so long. I hope this doesn't "upset" anyone, just wanted to see how many times I could use the word "upset" in a short paragraph?  |

I have always been a bowl guy. I HATE the BCS system, I think it is the WORST of both worlds. I also hate the preseason coaches poll. This year proved that you just don't know what you have until you play. IMHO, should hold off picking top 25 at least until the 4 game of the season if not longer. |

I dont know if waiting until week 4 would even matter. THE BIGGEST problem with the BCS is that it takes subjective information, and tries to create an objective event. The second biggest is that human beings can't get over biases. If it were Oklahoma, or Texas and not Kansas, they would be the CLEAR #1 team in the country.

What?
You mean like UM getting bounced in the first week, beating up on the weak sisters of Mercy to emerge back in the Top 15, only to get bounced by Wisconsin today?
Sometimes the 'bias' thing goes both ways. Wisconsin has been a much better program than UM, even before this season....and part of me thinks these prideful sports writers who vote for these teams (many of whom, DO NOT watch these games objectively, much less watch these games) out of pride and ego (how do you retract your vote earlier in the year?) to hang on to their credibility (voting Michigan #1 in preseason....UM loses a few...then when they beat a B10 team, vote them back up in the Top 25, for the sole point of justifying their preseason vote).
Case in point, last year's ND team.
