Dunno why, but I have a feeling Kansas State ends up losing a game. Oregon and ND go to the NC, Bama at #3, LSU at #4, and the winner of FSU/FU at #5.

Dunno, it'll be interesting to see what all happens.

I'd much rather play KState than Oregon. Oregon has the much tougher road ahead of any of the unbeatens.

I'd probably say that the FSU/FU winner would be #4.

LSU, that winner, and A&M (assuming they all win out) should be 4-6 undoubtedly. But I'm not really clear as to how the At Large spot for the BCS works, or if that even has an impact on it at all.

In that scenario whichever at-large team from a BCS AQ conference finishes #4 in the BCS would get an autobid.

Five 1-loss teams outside of the BCS top nine, but three 2-loss SEC teams inside of it. SCar was beaten once by 33.


Makes total sense, right?

Alabama's two remaining opponents are a combined 3-17. #NationalDominance

I dont see anyway how they beat FSU as of right now.
Bias is understood considering your allegiances. I'm not confident at all in Florida going into Doak and winning, but they can win the same way they have all year: good defense, forcing turnovers, winning the field position battle, and by a miracle getting a few random big plays out of their offense. NC State and Va Tech are mediocre teams and gave FSU all they could handle, UF has a shot as long as their QBs aren't paralyzed at halftime.

FSU should be higher but Clemson, Rutgers, Louisville, and La Tech don't deserve to be ranked in the top 10 if we're in November and none of them have beaten a single ranked team. There's a reason why three of those teams are also ranked behind 2-loss teams outside of the SEC.

The computer polls are bizarre. Oregon is behind Florida, Florida State is unranked in 2 of them (ACC!), and Washington is ranked despite totaling 8 points in the 2 human polls. One poll has Stanfard 7 and Oregon 5, with Florida 2 which makes no sense whatsoever

Ole Miss at 5-5 is also ahead of FSU in one poll.

That is insane. How the **** is Oregon behind Florida?

And I know the ACC sucks, their out of conference schedule is weak, and they choked against NCST but FSU is still definitely a Top 10 team. Having them behind Ole Miss is laughable and worthy no matter what you think of them.

In terms of NFL talent they probably have the 2nd most after Bama.

Jimbo Fisher wasting time this week ranting about the BCS/polls/computer rankings, which is ridiculous for multiple reasons:

1. He's making contradictory points such as "it should matter how you play, not who you play" and "the AP poll puts too much emphasis on how you win/blowing out teams".

2. His own ballot in the Coach's Poll has FSU ranked #4.

3. It doesn't matter anyway because if his team wins out it's going to a BCS game, and might even get there if it finishes 11-2 with a loss in the ACC championship game, but there's almost no chance FSU will get to the BCS title game. So why care so much that FSU is behind a bunch of SEC teams where only two of them can even make it to the BCS?

A better look at the situation comes from Yahoo's Dan Wetzel. Lots of good stuff he points out:

Most of them have Notre Dame at #1 too.

I can kinda see that, because Notre Dame at least has the best road win. West Virginia being in the midst of a total collapse isn't helping K-State. They went from national championship aspirations/undefeated season 5 weeks ago, to needing to win 2 of their last 3 games just to be bowl eligible.

Just one win, not two.
