-------------These comments are made w/o looking at the ballots posted. so, if i say something, it is w/o knowing who is the party-----------

person who voted fsu @ #3 didnt see the asswhopping by tommy bowden and crew.

tcu ? #1? what? if tcu would be to play OU, i would predict at least 25 casualties.

heck, even iowa can cause at least 5 casualties on TCU.


for comparison's sakes, here is the bcs

i really dont like all these non-bcs teams in the top20. they would get blown the hell out by any of the other teams in the top 20. i know its not really fair, but if any of these teams were to be given center stage, they would be obilterated into pieces on national tv. main reason why i dont wanna see tcu in a bcs bowl game.

My mistake on TCU, I thought they had lost, they should be higher, and the same for Texas. I have to find better info before I vote.

SC and OU will play for all the marbles. It is OU's to lose .

Yep, OSU and LSU have at least one more loss each in store. If USC can TCB, then the BCS will be A-OK, FYI.

Sorry, didn't explain very well. A vote of 1 means a team was ranked 20. A vote of 20 means the team was ranked 1. Everything is inverted then added together. So the highest Florida State got was 6.

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

Both the coaches poll and the AP poll have LSU at number three. I like ours better with Ohio State there - SOS should count for something.

I am surprised at Washington State's strong showing. They, in my opinion, are not as good as alot of the two loss teams below them.

I am surprised Ole Miss doesn't get more love. They are atop the SEC and have some quality wins.

I don't see how Florida State can be in the top 15. They got humiliated by Clemson, Miami kicked their tale (turns out Miami might not as be as good as people thought), and they had to overcome a 13 point defecit to overcome Georgia Tech in the fourth quarter. Georgia Tech got stomped by Duke by the way. Other than that Florida State has played absolutely NOBODY!! Anybody agree with me?

It's difficult to disagree with you, as Maryland, Colorado, Virginia, and Notre Dame have all been major disappointments.

This leaves Florida State with victories over North Carolina (awful), Georgia Tech (barely winning), Duke (nuff said), and Wake Forest. They still have NC State and Florida.

Overall, Florida State rates 32nd in SOS, this is weaker than all but three teams in front of them in the BCS (FSU is thirteenth in the BCS).
