They haven't played anyone yet, always open the season 4-0 or 5-0 until they play Michigan, OSU and Wisconsin, then they crater. If they can beat Illinois and keep it close with OSU, then they can be moved into the top 10.Geo Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465771970645967161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-49148188342360377912008-09-15T20:59:00.000-04:002008-09-15T20:59:00.000-04:00Number 5 for psu seems a bit high on that guy's pa...Number 5 for psu seems a bit high on that guy's part. I like being under the radar at the moment, but if i was being honest with you top ten is where i'd expect (or hope) to see them at the end of the year.Johnny bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825230779882177065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-62533509438835244342008-09-15T16:11:00.000-04:002008-09-15T16:11:00.000-04:00Dropping Wisconsin 6 spots is ridiculous.

Fresno State, much like Boise State and Hawaii, is one of those mid major schools that the big boys absolutely refuse to go on the road to anymore. If I remember correctly the last time Fresno played a remotely good BCS conference opponent at home it was #10 Oregon State in 2001, and they got smoked by the Bulldogs. It took guts for Wisconsin to even go there and you punish them by dropping them 6 spots because they didn't blow out a team that was also ranked in the top 25? Yet you only drop Oregon 1 spot for beating a team in the bottom half of the big ten in overtime, Oregon should have blown out Purdue but instead got lucky because Joe Tiller is one of the worst coaches in the country.

Has that happened before? For the life of me I can't remember it. Why does a thrashing over lousy teams...Washington, Nevada, etc. count more than a close win on the road against one of the better defenses in the SEC/nation? Granted USC is number 1, but I think UGA is getting jobbed. Chattanooga, Cincy and U Dub...?

USC vs. OSU<BR/>2. USC vs. Virginia<BR/><BR/>And then we can have a poll for everyone else minus games played against USC. Simply, there is no way to judge a team such as OSU based on a whopping that they got from a team that would give a whopping to just about every other team. To solve the problem just omit the USC loss and rank OSU as OSU E.T.B (Except Trojan Beatdown)The Green Carbon Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13377415669354358723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-47448609800552222132008-09-15T12:32:00.000-04:002008-09-15T12:32:00.000-04:00Raise South Florida 9 slots for squeaking by a top...Raise South Florida 9 slots for squeaking by a top 25 team at home, while you drop Wisconsin 6 slots for squeaking by a top 25 team on the road. Does that make sense to you? If you're going to lower the teams that barely get by, which is totally fair, do it consistently.Michael Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361493501818705947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-91500188725643939152008-09-15T12:15:00.000-04:002008-09-15T12:15:00.000-04:00Dan drops Bucky 6 spots because:a) He predicted th...Dan drops Bucky 6 spots because:<BR/><BR/>a) He predicted them to lose, therefore they are not good, even though his prediction was wrong.<BR/>b) He did not stay up late enough to see the game, thinks his prediction came true.<BR/>c) Hates the Big Ten<BR/>d) tOSU sucked, so everyone else in the plodding, slow, horrible Big Ten must suffer.<BR/><BR/>???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-71358002248884923392008-09-15T11:39:00.000-04:002008-09-15T11:39:00.000-04:00If USC struggled with a team like Tulane, would yo...If USC struggled with a team like Tulane, would you drop them 6 spots?
