the New Top 25

The Biggest scam going is USC still in the Top 10. They have no business being in the Top 10, not if OSU isn't there. OSU lost on the road to the #1 ranked team. USC lost at Oregon State, a team that is mediocre at best. The voters are obviously trying to get USC into a title game, especially with the Big 12 teams all having to play one another still.

Biggest farse ever. USC should not sniff the title game. Even if everyone else loses.

Actually, Auburn in the top 25 is the worst travesty. TOO much SEC love, especially since it's quickly becoming evident that the Big 12 is emerging as the top conference this year, with Oklahoma, Mizzou, Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas and Okie State all in the top 17.

I saw them play in person, and they are very good...on both sides of the ball. I'm not sure Nate Davis is as sure of a Pro prospect bet as some seem to think, but he's definitely another excellent MAC QB that will get his shot on Sundays.

They execute well, play solid in all 3 phases of the game, and are disciplined. I'm curious to see if they can run the table...the MAC is not a joke, and if they keep winning I could see them as a top 15 team with a nice bowl game.

honestly the way the bcs is.. if they do run the table.. they would get screwed out of a good bowl game anyway

Naw, they'll get into a BCS bowl if they make it into the top 12 (The "Notre Dame rule"). That's how Hawaii got to play Georgia last year...

i guess we will just have to wait and see...

I think BYU is locked in for the "at large" BCS game pick. 10 teams go, top 2 in the title game. 8 left. one from each conference, that's 6, ACC, East, Pac, Big 10, 12, SEC. 2 spots left. That leaves open the door for a team like BYU but I highly doubt that 2 mid level conferences get teams into the BCS games.

god forbid if ND beats NC this weekend and gets ranked at 5-1. They will be making a b-line for a BCS Game if thats the case.

Notre Dame won't beat NC this week. They'll also lose to Pitt and USC for sure, and will probably lose to Navy, BC and UW since those are all road games. They'll get 6 wins, and play in a better bowl than they deserve, but it won't be a BCS bowl.

Didn't think about BYU...and Utah is in there too. If they both win out, then the winner of that showdown (last week of the season) will get that at-large bid unless there is an upset or two along the way.

BYU vs Utah, isn't that the "Holy War" rivalry game...
