They're not out yet, of course, but my rankings would be: 1)Florida 2)Utah 3)USC 4)Oklahoma 5)Texas I highly doubt that's how it will end up, though.
1. Florida 2. Texas 3. USC 4. Oklahoma 5. Utah. I don't think I necessarily agree with that, but so be it.
Final AP poll is out, apparently... 1. Florida 2. Utah 3. USC 4. Texas 5. Oklahoma The Gators received 48 first-place votes and 1,606 points in the poll released early Friday, after they beat Oklahoma 24-14 in the BCS national title game. Utah, the only team in major college football to go undefeated this season, got 16 first-place votes and 1,519 points. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3820715
I think Utah should have been number one, they havent lost a game all year and beat alabama which is an impresive win, I hope Obama fixes this bcs mess like he said he would like too in an espn interview the nite before the election.
how exactly would Obama fix it? It's not under his control. That whole interview was foolishness. Utah should not be #1.
how on earth did they get it out so quickly? Did voters have conditional votes or something? Did people really vote at midnight on the Internet or something? Maybe they had everyone e-mail them their rankings after the game.
Had USC not lost to Oregon State and had Penn State not lost to Iowa, those two would almost certainly have played in the title game. Depending on what the other bowl matchups would've been, my guess would be a final ranking of 1)USC (they would win even if they played in Florida, not Pasadena) 2)Florida (they would beat their opponent) 3)Penn State 4)Utah 5)Texas all extremely hypothetical. I mention it because someone asked me on a different message board about whether USC would've made it had they stayed undefeated. I told him certainly. He then wanted to know if USC and Penn State had remained undefeated. Well, he's wrong. USC makes it into the title game if they're undefeated. my answer:
Utah doesn't deserve to be number one. Utah does not deserve to be number one. However Maybe they do deserve to, at the very least, have a shot at number one.
how is your premise possible when "if" Texas had not lost to Texas Tech on a prayer play, Texas would have been number 2 at the end of the year, hypothetically jumping up to 2 after beating Tech on the road, assuming that USC would have been number 1.
I can live with the AP vote -- I think that USC is the best team in the nation though amd probably would have flopped them with Utah.
Southern Cal is the best team in the Nation. Best coach, best defense, and very good offense. Oh well...It's the system we play in.
bullshit. its a joke conference. play an SEC schedule every year and that best team, coach, offense, and defense suddenly falls to 2nd or 3rd with an occasional trip to atlanta. Edit - do you really think they'd win 10-12 games consistently, every year, having to play LSU, Florida, Alabama, Georgia? They're the flagship of the pac 10, and furthermore, I don't respect any conference that doesn't have a championship game.
Utah played 2 ranked teams, plus 1 more in the bowl.BYU, TCU and Alabama. UF played 5 ranked teams plus OU in the bowl game. They smoked LSU, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida State, and Alabama. And beating OU means they played the #1 ranked team in the nation twice and beat them twice (Bama and OU)
what on earth are you talking about? Texas Tech lost to Oklahoma. The premise was he wanted me to tell him what would've happened without the Iowa and Oregon State upsets. Nothing to do with Texas beating Texas Tech. Certainly Texas would've been in the title game had they won, but that has nothing to do with anything.
Really no question? Explain why Utah whipped Alabama and Florida was trailing till what 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter against that same Alabama team? Is there in no shadow of a doubt that Colt McCoy turns it over on key possesions last night? Does Tim Tebow cream his pants the way he did last night against a great defense like USC? You just don't know so to say without question is ridiculous...... Florida won the mythical national championship in a system that very possibly violtaes anti trust laws. Lets look at this from a another persepective..... If the Mountain West was not unfairly excluded from the BCS and was an automatic qualifier, in the system that is in place Florida would have been excluded from the title game while Oklahoma would have played Utah. So if Oklahoma would have won that would you be so quick to say that Oklahoma was the best team in the nation without question? Now of course knowing what we know now we'd know they aren't.
