Why do you hate the smurf turf, gola?

I'm probably overrating Utah, but beating TCU has to count for something good.

And between the Frogs and suddenly-hot Cincy, Oklahoma has a damn good strength of schedule argument should the Big XII come down to a three-way quagmire.

i hate how people overrate bsu cause they beat oklahoma 2 years ago. they play in a terrible conference. a conference so bad wazzu could win 5 games in it. plus, ky, you moved bsu up 2 slots for beating utah fucking state, while only moving utah up one slot for beating RANKED tcu. that's fucked up. you wanna keep penn state in the top ten? fine. put utah where shitty boise state is. it's that simple.

I've had Boise ahead of the Utes all season. And i wasn't gonna punish Boise when it won.

With the exception of USC a few weeks ago, i try to avoid that.

So, you would overlook non-conference wins at 7-3 Oregon and at home against Bowling Green (which won at Pitt) and Louisiana Tech because they play in a weak conference? You know, you can be a good team that happens to play in a weak conference. It's not impossible.

Here's what slappy got from me moments ago.

1. Alabama (only team that stayed put from my top five last week)
2. Texas Tech
3. Texas
4. Oklahoma
5. Southern California
6. Florida
7. Utah
8. Boise State
9. Penn State
10. Ohio State
11. Oklahoma State
12. Mizzou
13. Ball State
14. Texas Christian
15. Brigham Young
16. Georgia
17. North Carolina
18. Michigan State
19. Florida State
20. Oregon
21. Pittsburgh
22. Louisiana State
23. Oregon State
24. Cincinnati
25. Miami (Fla.)

Biggest rise -- Nos. 19 Florida State, No. 20 Oregon and No. 21 Pittsburgh, up four spots
Biggest fall -- No. 9 Penn State, down seven spots
Breaking in -- No. 23 Oregon State; No. 24 Cincy, No. 25 Miami (Fla.)
Dropping out -- No. 19 Maryland; No. 20 California; No. 22 Georgia Tech

They won big too... gotta play those conference games.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- Week 10 (11/4) Page 76

boise state's terrible conference is much, much worse than any bcs conference or the mountain west.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- Week 10 (11/4) Page 76

so, you're not a big fan of boise state, 'gola?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- Week 10 (11/4) Page 76

So, to ask again, do you simply disregard a strong non-conference win like Boise State had at Oregon because of its conference?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- Week 10 (11/4) Page 76

no, they should be in the top 25, but only around 15 or so. not in anyone's top ten.
