What the fuck is Florida doing out there? This is ridiculous. Looks like they are reverting back to the horrendous play-calling we've seen in the past.

Maybe they traded Meyer to Illinois today for Zook, thinking they wouldn't need him for Auburn. :P

Oregon State was up 14-12 on UCLA early in the 4th and then turned the ball over three times in less than three minutes, including back-to-back kick offs, and UCLA is now up 33-14. Ouch.

 

I'm not surprised at all that Washington is giving USC a game. This just had the smell of a game that USC will have to sweat out until the end. And really after today should anyone be surprised by anything now?

Nice try, Auburn, but you're not winning this game.

 

EDIT: Guess I was wrong. I thought the refs were doing their best to give the game to UF with the interference call and then the unsportsmanlike call against Tuberville, but I guess not.

With all these teams falling, I'm just expecting Ohio State to sneak in and take a BCS title game spot. Sometimes I hate college football.

They get Wisconsin at home. They have as relastic a shot as anyone at this point to run the table. Hell if Oklahoma takes care of Texas next week they still have a shot.

 

Nevermind, USC does put it away after the interception is overturned.

Top 10 Guess

 

1. USC

2. LSU

3. California (shoot me)

4. Ohio State

5. Wisconsin

6. Kentucky

7. Boston College

8. South Florida

9. South Carolina

10. Oklahoma

 

Georgia or Virginia Tech could end up #10 as well. I'm also going under the assumption people will remember South Carolina beat Georgia on the road but that might be a big assumption since they didn't last week.

10 points with 3 minutes to play is not "putting it away".

USC pretty much finished it off, though, after Washington's QB fucked up and passed while he was across the line of scrimmage.

You sure about that now?

If USC wins this game, they don't get any style points but to win when you commit a lot of mistakes is somewhat encouraging. Though it could be Washington not being as good as advertised.

Question of the week-

 

Who should be Number 1:

 

An LSU team that was up by 1 at the half, then controlled the rest of the game and won by 24?

 

Or a USC team that was neck-and-neck with Washington the whole game and won ugly?

Kentucky at #6? I can't fathom a world where Kentucky is just outside the top 5. What a chaotic season and we still got a ways to go.

Washington is a much better team than Tulane who had no business even making LSU sweat for a half. That being said I thought LSU was #1 going into the week and USC hasn't done enough to warrant me thinking otherwise.

The way this season's gone, I would be pretty surprised if anyone went undefeated this year. That would just create a nightmare for the BCS.

When do the rankings that actually mean something come out?

Another week or two, when the last computer polls are published.

 

Four of the computers, plus the Coach's Poll and the Harris Poll, are already public.

The BCS nightmare scenario at this point would probably be:

 

 

USC and Cal winning out until their match-up in November. The winner then loses the next week (Cal at Washington, USC at Arizona State)

 

LSU winning out until the SEC Championship Game, then losing to a Kentucky or South Carolina team whose one loss is to LSU earlier in the season. (Florida would have a losses to LSU and Auburn under this scenario)

 

South Florida winning at least 5 more games (including a win over undefeated Cincinnati), then losing late in the year to Louisville or a horrible Pitt team.

 

Ohio State winning 11 games, then losing the Michigan game.

 

Boston College winning 12 games, then losing the ACC CG to a team with 2 or more losses (Miami or V-Tech perhaps).

 

 

 

That would eliminate just about all of the currently-favored teams, leaving chaos in the human polls used to determine the championship game.

 

(The human polls are a huge percentage of the BCS formula (66%?), with the computer formulas worth a smaller percentage.)

 

 

It would also be interesting to see how many computers would agree on the Top 5 after that kind of carnage.
