Hey, if anything, I'm a Big 12 homer, the SEC is WAY OVERRATED. It's just that Florida is better than USC, Penn State, and any other one-loss team.
Florida lost by one, USC was getting smoked by Oregon State. Florida has since beat the ever-loving crap out of others, while USC dilly-dallies except when beating Washington, the worst by-god team there is in the country.
This year is a perfect example of why we need a playoff, so the top 8 can slug it out.

So a USC loss on the road in a place that they suck ALL THE TIME is a better loss? Boy, maybe if you lose somewhere every season you should get a free pass. That sounds logical.

By the way, since I'm about to head home from work, this is why I love this site and this thread. These exact discussions. These are what the other polls are missing so you see why they voted a certain way.

Good night all!

you mean the same oregon state team that finished something like No. 4 in the nation a few years back and has the inside track to go to the rose bowl this season?

are you really comparing oregon state to the piece of shit florida lost to? excuse me, but let me ask again: are you high?

oregon state lost to penn state on the road, utah on the road and a piece of shit stanford team to start the season on the road.

Who do you have playing for the title? USC?
First, you have to beat the Beavers in the regular season Trojans (not done), then to make a statement to voters, you have to beat Cal, a ranked team, by more than 14 (not done). They don't have it, and without a perfect season they didn't have a shot.
USC had the best non-conference win of anyone (Ohio State), but blew it when they lost to Oregon State.

So, you think that Almighty Alabama will win the title and beat Florida?
I think the SEC Champ, which will likely be Florida, could beat the Big 12 winner, and it will be a much better game than anything we have seen in the National Championship in the last few years.
I think the system will work now, with Penn State out of the picture.

You'd make a good prosecutor.

USC won 17-3. Allowed zero touchdowns. Allowed 165 total yards to the 21st-ranked team in a gut-check, nut-buster of a conference game in November. That impresses me enough. Don't mistake an ugly, defensive-fueled win for something you perceive as less than a juggernaut.

Expectations are so damn high here sometimes.

I'm waiting for Slappy to come on here and start crowing about Western Michigan beating Illinois.

I'd consider them for the poll, but any team that can't beat EMU by more than 21 points doesn't deserve to be in the poll.

That, and there's Central Michigan, which also has two losses (Purdue, Georgia) and beat Western Michigan by 10.
