Okay, I understand that Cal, Boston College, and USF are undefeated but do they really deserve to be ranked that high?
AP Top 10
1.LSU
2.Cal
3.Ohio State
4.Boston College
5.South Florida
6.Oklahoma
7.South Carolina
8.West Virginia
9.Oregon
10.USC

This is all I have to say...
Old Princeton yells her tiger
Wisconsin her varsity
And they give the same old
Rah! Rah! Rah!
At each university
But the yell that always thrills me,
And fills my heart with joy,
Is the good old Oskee-Wow-Wow,
That they yell at Illinois
Oskee-wow-wow, Illinois
Our eyes are all on you
Oskee-wow-wow, Illinois
Wave your Orange and Blue Rah! Rah!
When your team trots out before you
Ev'ry man stand up and yell
Back the team to gain a victory
Oskee-wow-wow, Illinois

Who could argue against a 16 Team Tournament...
When your top 5 teams are the following?
AP Top 10
1.LSU
2.Cal
3.Ohio State
4.Boston College
5.South Florida
Huh?

Two main problems I have with the polls:
They are formulaic, I doubt pollsters watch the games, they see scores and then vote. Moreso they vote to cover their backsides (ie they don't want a BCS conference school to go undefeated and be ranked lower than a 1-loss team) so you see schools sky rocket up the polls, and come crashing down soon their after.
Two- they vote based on the name up front more often than the name in the back; case in point WVU loses on the road to an undefested highly ranked team (USF). Florida loses at home to a lower ranked team (Auburn who lost to USF)...yet WVU took a bigger fall in the polls? Hell I wouldn't be shocked if Notre Dame starts getting votes.
Truth is there is such a balance of talent out there that the only real way to do it is with a playoff (a real playoff, not +1) just like in HS.....oh wait I coach in CA and we have a +1 system.

Polls are for fans. Teams shouldn't be concerned with polls until the last couple of weeks of the season when the bowls are booking games. JMO

I agree while I'm not on the USF bandwagon they deserve it, they beat Auburn and WVU. While anyone can lose on any given week, USC did lose to Stanford and USF hasn't

Ted - what do you think of Coach Tedford's clock management on the final drive. Also, even though I'm a lifelong Duck fan, my wife was "making" me root for the Beavers (she's a alum!).

yeah I agree. Tedford had to of told him ..if the pass isn't there..huck it. Couldn't believe what I saw...sad day in Mudville.

Although I am anti-playoffs, I am even MORE anti the BCS system. I think this year might be the year that it all falls apart. The Parity in college football is growing, and I think it is just ridiculous to think that you can arbitrarily ( read: polls) select two teams and say ..ok, we will recognize the winner of a game between you two as being a champion of some type.
So for all of you playoff people...this could be the year for you.
