As mentioned in the Who's #1 thread, USC has been voted #1 in the final AP Poll and LSU in the Coaches Poll. Ya I know not really news but what some were looking for is how many coaches broke ranks in the coaches poll? The answer was...three. No word who the other two besides Pete Carroll were. Oh and here's the final AP Poll: 1. USC 2. LSU 3. Oklahoma 4. Ohio State 5. Miami 6. Michigan 7. Georgia 8. Iowa 9. Washington State 10. Miami of Ohio 11. Florida State 12. Texas 13. Mississippi 14. Kansas State 15. Tennessee 16. Boise State 17. Maryland 18. Purdue 19. Nebraska 20. Minnesota 21. Utah 22. Clemson 23. Bowling Green 24. Florida 25. TCU Other receiving votes 26. Oklahoma State 27. Arkansas 28. Virginia 29. Northern Illinois 30t. Auburn 30t. Oregon State 32t. Pittsburgh 32t. N.C. State 34. West Virginia 35. Connecticut

Ray Ratto of ESPN.com and the San Francisco Chronicle has some humerous suggestions for changing the BCS.

Anyways its official on the split champions...USC has been voted #1 in the AP Poll, ESPN is reporting.

Nah...how about a Clemson cheerleader?

One girl of your choice will show up at your door with the trophy.* Again, congrats to razazteca! *- please allow six weeks to 120 years for trophy and USC cheerleader to arrive.

Okay this is the prefect time for ABC to give JR the mic.

Can't you feel the excitement? The two competitors sweating over the championship? No not the Sugar Bowl...2GOLD and razazteca fighting it out for Bored's Bowl Pick Em' Championship! Its coming right down to the wire.

JR: "Bah gawd those LSU bastards cheated!"

Jason...we'll be taking this back now. I went with LSU in this game because I just couldn't see losing by 28 points to Kansas State being a complete fluke. Maybe it was a fluke they lost by so much but I think K-State figured out that you can run the football against Oklahoma with a lot of success and exposed Oklahoma's offense as being too one demensional. So far Oklahoma is doing nothing to prove otherwise.

Your kidding right? Michigan turned over the ball once, which was a fluke interception, and had the ball almost twice as much as USC. Michigan didn't play like crap, USC just played a great game. Oh and for the Coaches poll question expect obviously Pete Carroll to break ranks and vote USC and there might be a few others but I seriously doubt enough will for USC to realstically have a shot. Actually in all seriousness considering they are contractually obligated to vote the winner of the BCS Title Game #1, right or wrong, they should still vote the winner of this game #1.

I'm 100% for him in the Hall of Fame as a player and let the guy show up for Reds games and events. I just hope Selig isn't stupid enough to allow him to work in MLB again as that he should never be allowed to do.

http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...=ST&f=8&t=45871 Anyways no real suspense as it will be Molitor and Eckersley and I'll be shocked otherwise.

Uh okay...how about 2-5 in bowl games and 4-2 in bowl games. One is the Big XII and the other is the Pac-10. In the only Pac-10/Big XII match-up the Pac-10 team won. Um which is the better conference again? Hang on to your conference title game argument all you want but Michigan beat the 2nd place team in their conference, Ohio State, in their last game of the season so that in itself pretty served as their conference title game. ONCE AGAIN Oklahoma did not play Kansas State prior to the conference title game. Oregon State went to a bowl game so that gives them same number of bowl opponents as LSU. Sorry try again. Again how is LSU's schedule flat out better? The had one of the weakest non-conference schedules in the country, period. They played the last place team in the Pac-10, two nothing Louisana schools, and 1-AA school. That is a pathetic non-conference schedule for an elite team. ONCE AGAIN LSU needed the SEC title game to have a BETTER strength of schedule than USC's. Its a stone cold fact.

Yes you and 2GOLD split on the Sugar Bowl. Your 27 points back and the game is worth 28 points. If Oklahoma wins, 2GOLD wins the contest. If LSU wins, you win the contest by one single point. Edwin, Rob, and Vern all picked Oklahoma so that's why they can't pass 2GOLD.

As I already pointed out and CanadianChris pointed you are WRONG about the SEC title thing hurting LSU's strength of schedule and that helped LSU jump USC in the final BCS rankings that last week. I know what your trying to say about how LSU doesn't get credit for two wins against Georgia, just one, but in the end it helped LSU not hurt them so quit relying on it because the evidence isn't there. Oh ooo Washington State, give me a break, they beat Texas from the "mighty" Big XII. Oh I know your logic Washington State is from the Pac-10 and USC is from the Pac-10 and the PAC-10 SUCKS DUDEZ~! And Michigan overrated? Fineee they only won their conference unlike um Oklahoma. Georgia blew a 24 point lead against Purdue of the "overrated" Big Ten who ya know Michigan is from. Before having almost one of the biggest collapse in bowl history the only victory Georgia had over a Top 25 team all year was Tennessee who got waxed by unranked Clemson yesterday.

Of course, if the Big 12 followed the PAC-10 system, OU would have won their conference, too. -=Mike So it's USC's fault that the college football presidents are greedy and when a conference has 12 teams or more they put in a conference title game to earn more revenue? Also Oklahoma would have won their conference without playing Kansas State. If USC had to play a conference title game they would have had to play Washington State again who they blew out.

And ummm Auburn and ummm Washington State and ummm Michigan. Oh and you are wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong on LSU smoking USC's strength of schedule. Before the SEC title game USC had a better strength of schedule than LSU but it was because LSU got that extra game that allowed them to jump USC. LSU's non-conference schedule incldued the last place team in the Pac-10 Arizona, Louisana Monroe, Louisana Tech, and a I-AA team. Wow ya they sure smoked USC's schedule.

Yes but if you didn't have the BCS this year you'd have an outright national champ as USC would have wrapped it up with their win the in Rose Bowl as they are #1 in both polls. The BCS forces the coaches to vote out their #1 team.

Hey kiddies there are a bunch of other topics where you can talk about this so please don't do it in this one, k?

Pot, kettle, black.
