Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards. ~So here we stand after the completion of the regular season and there is pretty much zero controversy. Auburn and Oregon are the most deserving teams to play in the title game with TCU sitting there undefeated as the third wheel. TCU had a great season and will get a trip to the Rose Bowl, but they had no chance of jumping Oregon and Auburn at the end of the season and even less when Utah their best opponent got crunched by ND. ~Congratulations UConn and Randy Edsall, you won the Big East and get to journey to the Fiesta Bowl to grant Oklahoma their first BCS win in their last 6. As a result of your championship I moved you up a few spots. ~Virginia Tech gets a bump thanks to the ACC Championship. In reality the James Madison loss did nothing to their season except for maybe motivate them to show up week in and week out. Plus it probably made JMU's entire season...

Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards. ~Two teams stand in the way of the "this game won't count in 2 or 3 years" championship game of Auburn and Oregon. If Oregon loses to Auburn in the title game, then no one wins the title once Cam Newton is ruled ineligible? ~Goodnight sweet Boise State, may you enjoy your home bowl game against someone inconsequential. ~Good night Les Miles, may you enjoy the Cotton bowl. ~Hello Arkansas, may you pull for Auburn strongly as you shall not enjoy the comforts of the Sugar Bowl if Cam Newton does not hoist the SEC trophy. ~Boomer Sooner is back, ready to win the Big 12 and ready to lose to... insert Big East opponent here. ~In my world, Stanford is not ranked 4th and does not get an auto bid.... I'm slightly unsure why they are ranked ahead of Wisconsin, given their marquee win is Arizona who in reality probably should not be ranked. Holding ont...

Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards. ~I'm very comfortable with my top 7 and then... GUH! ~Flip flopped TCU and Boise... why? Virginia Tech is why. The Hokies sleepwalked through James Madison in week 2, since then they have looked like an elite American football program. The win over Virginia Tech on a neutral field eclipses any victory TCU currently has and that is a direct reflection of Utah's devastating beat down at the hands of Notre Dame (which theoretically I should probably equate that loss to a "guh we don't want to play this week cause we lost the biggest game of our season last saturday" type loss in the same way I equated VTs loss, but well no Utah doesn't win any big games and are not going to be a BCS team) ~Speaking of Utah, they are in the poll because tell me where else to go please! The bottom of the top 25 is not very good. I would love for a suggest...

Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards. ~Maybe I spoke too soon last week about the TCU over Boise St. thing. I certainly wasn't expecting the Utes to go out and get their poo pushed in by Notre Dame. As a result of that loss the Utes are jettisoned completely. I heavily debated moving Boise ahead of TCU this week, but will wait til after Nevada. ~In addition I'm moving LSU ahead of TCU. Why? Their lone loss is at the #1 team in the country. Why would you expect TCU or Boise to win that game? Their wins are vastly superior to anything TCU or Boise has to offer. They A have a victory over Bama which puts to shame anything on TCU's schedule and certainly is greater than the Virginia Tech game. They have additional wins over a good UNC team, potentially the Big East champ WVU, a good Miss St. team, and a decent but not typical Florida team. ~The Hokies are surging. An 11-2 Hokie ACC Cha...
