And the College Football season begins!!!

[Captain Tagon]

Boston College comes in and will claim the ACC title...maybe not. Ya, ACC seems to up for grabs.

Maybe State has an outside shot...if they can stop committing penalties.

With Trev Alberts gone, I'm gonna propose something not very many people will agree with. ESPN should hire Brian Bosworth to replace him. I know he struggled in the NFL and his acting career was a complete flop, but he does know football and I thought he did a really good job when he was a studio analyst for TBS a couple of years ago.

 

[Crothian]

I've never seen him be an analyst so I have no idea how good he would be.

 

[fett527]

Me either.

I'm gonna repost this question too:

How many number one votes should the winner (read:Buckeyes) of the Texas/OSU game receive, assuming USC soundly defeats Arkansas?

 

[Crothian]

no more then 10, but I say around 5. It seems to me first place votes are lost more then they ar egained, so it would take USC doing bad to get mor ethen this.

 

[Dungannon]

Well, Texas got 5 first place votes in the last poll so I'd imagine if OSU won that game they'd pick up 3 or 4 of them. If Texas wins, that could sway some of the USC votes there way, say 4 or 5. Bottom line on the prediction, if Texas wins they'll have 9-10 first place votes next week and if OSU wins they'll have 3-4 first place votes.

You know I did watch some of the Oklahoma St./FAU gaem last night. It was bad. Really bad. Flipped as soon as the Pats/Raiders came on.

How many should they get (assuming the Buckeyes win a Tressell special, which is to say by a last-second field goal)? Zero. But Texas shouldn't be getting any now; until USC loses, or at least wins ugly, voting for someone else as #1 is silly.

How many will they get? Probably 3 or 4.

How many should they get (assuming the Buckeyes win a Tressell special, which is to say by a last-second field goal)? Zero...

Why? OSU rolls over a MAC team picked to win their conference and beats the number 2 team in the country and they shouldn't get any 1st place votes? USC will have beaten Hawaii and Arkansas. Big deal.

Because, the number one rule of this wonderful ranking system is that you don't drop a team in the rankings when they win big, even against the worst team in the country.
