Well, that's the Great Unknowable, for now.<BR/><BR/>If things go as they are supposed to, in the SEC Champ. Game, we'll see Florida vs. either Auburn (on a neutral field) or Arkansas (pole position in SEC West).<BR/><BR/>Like I said: A classic clusterfudge.Dan Shanoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126386161198401693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160956010977617712006-10-15T19:46:00.000-04:002006-10-15T19:46:00.000-04:00Mizzou has to drop out of the top 25.

Lets just say that they win out an finish undefeated. Currently their strength of schedule in the saragin rankings is lower then 1-AA montana. That will improve with wins over Louisville and Rutgers. But this sets up a scenario that nobody has talked about....what if they get into the BCS championship game, and an unbeaten Boise State team, has a tougher strength of schedule. Then the only reason they'd be there is because of the wonderful pre-season rankings.

It won't matter in the end, either way, because at least one of the top 3 will lose. USC at 2 (in the coaches poll) is a little rediculous though. <BR/><BR/>My top 10<BR/>1. Ohio State<BR/>2.

Cal (really has gotten it together, bet TN is glad they played them the first week. can't wait for them to blowout USC in the way no one has in a loooong time)<BR/>9. Notre Dame (dunno if they really deserve this)<BR/>10.
