They don't play the 4th Big 12 team because it's them. Same for the SEC teams. Still, good post and I agree with the premise.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822839285669075962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-19863324206924434332008-09-17T15:25:00.000-04:002008-09-17T15:25:00.000-04:00Totally agree.

Carolina; VTech and WVa will likley be minor bowl teams this year and no more. The close win over Tulane should have dropped ECaolina many spots. And Dougolis, Sagarin, is worthless and should be banished. Go Mizzou! the most exciting team in college football.williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234812345281053699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-26168606114553844602008-09-17T09:43:00.000-04:002008-09-17T09:43:00.000-04:00Or what if USC lost to a team like Notre Dame...th...Or what if USC lost to a team like Notre Dame...that should certainly knock their title hopes out the door.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428798332516109333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-59617176645417427722008-09-17T08:29:00.000-04:002008-09-17T08:29:00.000-04:00Dan, you can't just take 1 bad weekend (which was ...Dan, you can't just take 1 bad weekend (which was admittedly horrible) and write off the whole Pac-10 as crap. Despite last weekend's shit show, <A HREF="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbc08.htm" REL="nofollow">Sagarin</A> still has the conference ranked 3rd. Higher than I expected but there it is objectively. He also has the Mountain West ranked 7th and in essentially the same tier as most of the BCS conferences. USC may face only 1 quality defense (UCLA) but they'll have to stop several high powered offenses (Oregon, Arizona, Cal) that only the Big 12 puts up as many points as. And no, ess-eee-see explosions like last weekend's Auburn-Miss.State throwdown don't count.DougOLishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088443520858068749noreply@blogger.com
