These would be the rankings today if made public............minus ONE computor poll.

Cincinnati? What?

Cincinnati? What?

What's wrong with 8th? They may be the best non SEC/B12 team in the country.

After October 15th they may not be............

Why even bother with this when the polls carry so much weight?

You can't possibly have Texas 4th and Boise 5th if you are basing it off of what they have done so far. Notice the ranking that has Texas 21st (KM), that is a more accurate picture of what they have done so far.

That is not a shot at Texas either, simply a reflection of their schedule to date.

Earlier today I saw USC was ranked #1 in the Sagarin ratings. USC??? Really? On what basis?

Every single computer has LSU ranked #1. Someone laughed at me yesterday when I said mathematically that is where they deserve to be.

They need to take the polls and chuck them out the window.

Thats because those people don't understand polls sir. I dont know where there minds be.

Right this is totally meaningless, which is the exact reason why the first official BCS Rankings are released so late in the year.

But still the SEC is garnering too much weight. If they are so good, a mandate should be passed that cant schedule D-1AA teams ever.

I think they'll handle South Florida, even on the road, and if they do they will most likely finish the regular season undefeated.

The first BCS rankings are out in 13 days ..........

Secondly, agree with you, Cincy probably handles South Florida.

Thirdly, USC was ranked 1st in Sagarin but their BCS ranking(the ranking used in the BCS system) in Sagarin was 4th......................LSU, ALABAMA, IOWA, USC were the top four Sagarin BCS teams.

You think they should be #1?

Thus far, I agree, they have earned the #1 spot in my rankings, as well as in the Sagarin ratings.

I didn't say Cincinnati will be the highest RANKED non SEC/B12 team, I said the may be the best. I would love to see Cincy face USC or Boise State or Ohio State/Iowa or Virginia Tech.

CINCY is no pretender.............unlike Houston, they at least have an average defense.
