Me either, I just don't want them playing Big 12.
Oklahoma will have to walk a fine line between appearing "bullyish", or not taking them seriously and blowing it.

Or perhaps Boise State will win .

I have a dollar here in my pocket if you'd like to bet that one.

The Harris poll apparently won't be out until 8PM tonight, when the pairings are revealed.

No, you're not!

Vindication on USC is so sweet.

Things are looking good for a proper Ohio State/Florida title game...

Rankings a little later.

I know I was one of the people that said USC was overrated. But no one wanted to hear it from me.

[DanS]

The only unkind thing that you can say about USC is that they are inconsistent. They torched no fewer than four top 25 teams.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them take Michigan to the woodshed... or not, depending on if they come out on the ball.

[SlowwHand]

USC has a good team.
I don't know that anyone can take OSU this year. Looking like it's their time.

I ALWAYS want to hear things like that!

My quick picks for the BCS:

Ohio State HUGE over Florida. We're talking a woodshed, redheaded stepchild, pimpslapping type of blowout, three touchdowns at least. And people are going to be positively insufferable around here after that.

Michigan comfortably over USC. The Trojans simply haven't seen as complete a team as the Wolverines this season, and won't be able to handle their balance.

Oklahoma comfortably over Boise State. I'd take the Broncos over most of the BCS teams this year, if only because of the gotcha factor. But Bob Stoops will have his boys ready.

Louisville big over Wake Forest. Let's face facts: the ACC sucks rotten eggs, and while the Deacons have had a heckuva year, they haven't seen anything like what the Cardinals are gonna throw at them.

LSU edges Notre Dame. LSU doesn't have the dynamic offense necessary to truly take advantage of the Irish D, but their own defense will contain Brady Quinn just enough for the victory.

Apparently, one Harris voter actually ranked Florida #1.

[q=Imran Siddiqui]
National Championship Game: Ohio State (#1 BCS) vs. Florida (#2 BCS - after seeing the AP and Coaches poll numbers)
Rose Bowl: Southern Cal (Pac 10 champ) vs. Michigan (at large)
Sugar Bowl: Notre Dame (at large) vs. LSU (at large)
Orange Bowl: Wake Forest (ACC champ) vs. Louisville (Big East champ)
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma (Big 12 champ) vs. Boise State (auto bid)[/q]

I'm good .

[Guynemer]

If Wake and Notre Dame pull off upsets, and OSU cruises like they should, we very possibly could end up with Big Ten teams ranked 1, 2, and 3.

Though as much as I think of Wisconsin--start scheduling some real nonconference games if you want real respect! (Note, this statement also applies to the SEC in general.)
