College Football 2013 Season

[Tupac Shakur]

To all Wisky fans everywhere:

I am so, so sorry.

They were begging for a comeuppance after all their talk after beating Nebraska and before they had even played a road game.

[Tupac Shakur]

There is a big mess after Oregon, but here goes

1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma State
4. Boise State
5. Stanford
6. Oregon
7. Oklahoma
8. Nebraska
9. Penn State
10. South Carolina

Any ranking that has Nebraska in the top ten is dubious, as best. To say nothing of Penn State.

[Tupac Shakur]

Top Ten...

1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma
4. Stanford
5. Oklahoma State
6. Boise State
7. Oregon
8. Wisconsin
9. Michigan
10. Texas A&M

I don't know how A&M keeps hanging around in the Top Ten. Does the Sagarin Pure Points not count second halves? [/rimshot]

[Boris Godunov]

1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma State
4. Stanford
5. Boise State
6. Oregon
7. Oklahoma
8. Arkansas
9. Michigan
10. South Carolina

I don't disagree, but the one-loss teams area a mess. Outside of Oregon, Penn State has the "best" loss, and Nebraska runs a close second by losing to a team that has lost only on two last-minute prayers. Do I really think Penn State is better than Michigan or Arkansas, for instance? Not on your life. But it hard to deny them a higher ranking based on the evidence at hand.

I actually think your Top Ten is fine, but it just isn't college football if you don't ***** about the polls.

This is one of the things I don't get about the polls. Sure you should take into account who a team has played, and who they have lost to, but if you think one team is better than the other, rank them that way.

[Guynemer]

It is a bit complicated. Ohio State has not had a good season to date, and based on that, there is no way I could rank them ahead of, say, Penn State.

Now, do I think Penn State will beat OSU? Not on your life.

[H Tower]

Yes tOSU is a strange case. the team that had those losses early when half their team was suspended definitely isn't the same team that is playing now.

Here is the part I hate about college polls: Would you rank OSU above Wisconsin, even though you know the game was an upset in a last 20 second miracle?

Cause if you think the game was an upset, you should still rank Wisconsin above them; otherwise it should not be considered an upset.

[Tupac Shakur]

It wasn't an upset; Wisconsin was outplayed for most of the game and needed a lucky breakdown in OSU's previously stout defense to even be in the position to get beat by another hail mary. OSU has developed into a strong team and Wisconsin isn't nearly as good as they looked when beating up on creampuffs at home.

[-Jrabbit]

It was most assuredly an upset, though not a huge one. It had all the earmarks of a close game going in (superior visiting team vs improving team with big homefield edge). As you said, it took a prayer play.

Wisconsin finally woke up in the second half and is now back on track for their usual race to the Best Of The Rest Bowl.

[Guynemer]

This Big East thing... this is just dumb as hell.

UCF, SMU, Houston, Navy, Air Force, and Boise State?

The Broncos are going to have conference away games in ****ing Orlando?

[Tupac Shakur]

AQ status is worth a lot and there aren't many schools left that are good/influential enough to help the Big East maintain it.
