And I was so worried the peanut gallery wouldn't chime in.

PD --

There are a bunch of one-loss teams.

There is no definitive argument for any of them. Thus there is no dispositive argument for any of them.

USC wasn't my No. 1, but there's no way you can say that NO ONE might think they're the best team.

Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, USC, Penn State, hell Utah?

You can make an argument for any of them, if you want to.

So stop trying to act like you can't. It's not an argument you agree with. Cool.

He's got a vote, he posted on here why he voted the way he did. Also cool.

Apparently, I need to clarify a thing or two for PaperDragon before moving on.

1. I never said you were scared. Just noted that you have time to be a jerk and throw stones at other people's picks, but say you do NOT have time to produce an actual opinion besides "YOU suck and are WRONG!!!!!"

2. I never, ever said, nor implied you couldn't get laid. I expressed admiration for your great knowledge (that you see fit to share with us peasants), and noted that such a man would have little trouble persuading members of the opposite sex to share carnal knowledge.

3. You're not a troll for disagreeing. You're a troll for being an a-hole about it.

4. USC has earned my No. 1 spot because I graduated from there, like a good fanboy. I'm actually from a BIG Pac-10 family. Love those Trojans/Beavers/Ducks/Bruins/Cardinal/Golden Bears/Sun Devils/Wildcats/Huskies/Cougars!!!!

I once was photographed kissing the Tommy Trojan statue. Man, I love USC.

They're AWESOME!!!!!!!

And cool, yes.

Funny that you didn't drop the other previously undefeated team nearly as much for its loss...

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- Week 14 (12/1) Page 106

I'll make 2 moderations ...

This isn't simple. There are 6 teams head and shoulders above everyone else (Texas, Okie, Florida, USC, Alabama and Utah) while Penn State and Boise State are nipping right at their heels and damn well may be included in the conversation. Who's the best and why? We've gone over every bloody argument ad nauseum.

As much as I think USC is tremendous because of its defense yet skiddish at times on offense, and as much as Florida owns a weakened SEC yet beat an undefeated conference team ranked No. 1, and for as many points as Oklahoma scores yet allows, and the fact Alabama really is as good as advertised but just couldn't close the deal ...

One team in one game (against the No. 1 team) proved itself to to me. And I really don't like its coach. Even in its only defeat, this team rallied and took the lead late in the game and was 65 or seconds from winning, only to be upstaged in the final seconds.

The team I think is No. 1, pound for pound is ...

1, Texas
2, Oklahoma
3, Florida
4, USC
5, Alabama
6, Utah
7, Boise State
8, Penn State
9, Ohio State
10, Texas Tech
11, Texas Christian
12, Oregon
13, Virginia Tech
14, Georgia Tech
15, Cincinnati
16, Oklahoma State
17, Ole Miss
18, Iowa
19, Brigham Young
20, Pittsburgh
21, Georgia
22, Oregon State
23, Boston College
24, Rutgers
25, Buffalo. Yes, Buffalo. For 5 years I've watched them rise to this unlikely position: MAC champs.
