Well the AP pole came out and USC lost three first place votes over the last pole. Its interesting because they were idle. OU picked up one first place vote and Auburn picked up 2 first place votes. So much of this makes little sense at first. Auburn looked terrible for much of the game against Alabama and the point difference was really decided by a defensive TD. OU solidly beat a weak Baylor team and did not run up the score beyond the 35-0 as they liberally subbed in the second half. So what is going on, ESPN has been pushing Auburn as a Cinderella story. Many are buying it. They only lost 5 votes in the poles as they slid from a tie for second with OU to third. So almost losing does not seem to be that big a deal for Auburn, heck they gained two FIRST place votes. Its wacky, its college football. Its in many ways the opposite of Professional. All subjective, the BCS was supposed to fix some of these probl;ems, but just makes it a different form of being complicated. Its all fun to watch none the less. But I hope it comes down to two undefeated teams playing for #1 and not a split title!
