Yeah, I knew Oregon was going to jump us, although they only beat one ranked opponent (and they played PSU? PSU sucks). We're in that middle section of just having a hard time being able to schedule competitive opponents, unless we go to them every time. It's hard to be in a conference full of unranked teams and maybe luck into two or three ranked opponents each year by virtue of them playing lights-out ball. Before the season, OSU and Nevada were unranked - so we could have finished the season with one quality win, the first game of the season, and been undefeated but not even in the top five.

I need Nevada to be rolling well by the time we get to them. They don't really have anybody else to play other than us, so they might still be unbeaten by then. We sort of got burned by playing Va Tech early, but before the season started they looked like they'd be good. If we end up beating three ranked teams, you'll hear a lot of complaining if we don't get consideration for the BCS championship (albeit not from me). We've never played more than one ranked team during the season.

The system will find a way to bone non-BCS teams unless they are undefeated and there are less than two undefeated teams in the power conferences of the BCS.

It isn't a good thing but it is more or less a thing.

I'm not quite as rabid as some of my fellow alumni. If another team plays six quality teams as opposed to our usual one, and they only lose one game, fair enough. It's deliberately not a scientific process, and I understand it (though I don't agree with it being a good solution). Seriously, though, if BSU plays three solid teams, ends up undefeated, and they end up sitting five or something, people will be howling for blood (and it's Idaho, so you'll get militiamen).

Gamecocks might just pull this off - 35-21 with two and a half left, and Alabama out of time outs. #1 gets beat by #19, they gotta drop five spots or so I think. This season is about to get fun.

Shit. Can't wait to see the rankings tomorrow, although even though Oregon is leading by a decent margin right now I fear we might get dropped a rank or two.

I predict Oklahoma gets their asses handed to them by Mizzou.

Even when I am not caring about college football, I am always rooting actively for a clusterfuck that points out all the flaws of the BCS and/or subverts it with an outcome totally unintended by its creators.

Go that thing!

Okla-fuck*ng-homa. You've got to be kidding me. I work with three different OU alums who know this is dead wrong.

Just checked in on Auburn again.  Let's see... looks like we still have time in the schedule to lose to LSU on a freak play / in OT, beat Ole Miss and Georgia convincingly in time to have a chance at the SEC West (Alabama having beaten LSU the following week), and then get crushed at Alabama.  At least I don't have to live with the damn flags on the car windows any more.

It's kind of weird living in a place where college football doesn't matter at all (I mean at all, in any way).  Less stressful, though.

It's an interesting experience, isn't it? I go to work, and my boss and I and like 10 - 20 other people just talk about football all week long. Then I come home and I don't know anyone who gives a shit about it. College, pro, Pop Warner, any of it. Strange.
