Does the USA today poll = Coaches poll? Thats the only one that matters since they don't use the AP poll in the BCS formula.

Yes. USA Today = Coaches Poll = counts in BCS.

:ksu:

Boise should be #1.

:LOL:

:evil:

They beat a top 10 team. Until the other teams play someone decent, Boise should be ahead of them. Right now everyone else is a cupcake/paper champion.

:facepalm:

:KU:

one could argue that the AP matters more, since they determine their own champion rather than just being part of a formula.

I'll give credit to Boise State when they actually play a decent schedule.

I don't see KU on the poll. WTF!!

At this point it doesn't matter. The two teams in front of them play quality opponents this week. Alabama plays Penn State and ohio state plays Miami. If Alabama and ohio state win, they should be ranked higher than BSU. If they lose then they obviously wont any longer.

This.

Many sportswriters don't even think the AP poll should be part of the formula.

To tell you the truth they shouldn't even come out with the polls untill after the first weekend of Oct. It's a beauty contest until then. :harumph:

Hey, I found them! Apparently you just need a more, um, comprehensive poll.

http://cfn.scout.com/2/999790.html

No. 95 with a bullet, baby!

And it should be in the triple-digits this time next week after Georgia Tech gets done using KU as a chew toy.

Many politicians don't think that Puerto Rico should be a state.

Nebraska did a handsome job giving up 200 rushing yards and getting one sack against a Sun Belt team that is on a twenty game losing streak. They definitely deserve that #6 ranking.

North Dakota is probably just outside the top 25.

Shit, I guess that explains why I didn't see them on the list. It only covered teams 26-120.

:facepalm:

Yup they'll beat Mizzou too.

It was a joke, dummy.

:facepalm:

Nebraska's game plan on defense wasn't exactly aggressive. Bo said he isn't worried, so I'm not worried. His defenses always get better as the season progresses.

GO SOONERS ....

Yes, to the Holiday Bowl.

Wach out BeerBacon will bitch. He obviously didn't watch the game because Western Kentucky didn't move the ball until it was 35-0.

Sorry. This is the top 25. Might want to check the bottom 25.

:evil:

Looking and K-states schedule they could be undefeated going into the game vs Nebraska. You think they crack the top 25? I think theres a possibility.

Possible, but I'm just taking it one game at a time. SMS shouldn't be an issue, but not sure what to say out of the UCF game. ISU could go either way.

I concur, there is a lot to joke about. I guess you missed the ironic facepalm. from a comparative standpoint, if I'm a dummy, you're positively subhuman. have fun with that.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, that was an ironic facepalm? OTAAAAY. I didn't know "ironic facepalms" existed, but that certainly was some high irony!

LMAO

I'm not sure why, but your post reminded me of this:

http://i10.tinypic.com/8esy6gi.png

I know why. It's because you're not very smart.

Big 10 looking strong. 2nd, 7th (next year), 9th, 11th, 14th teams. Though I think Alabama will murder Penn St. this week. Hope I'm wrong.

Can someone explain to me why Notre Dame got so many votes?

dude, you've yet to prove that you bring ANYTHING to the table. I've proven I have the chops. the only chops you have are on sale at hyvee. I have a friend who I graduated HS with who also works an endless job at best buy: he hates his life too.

It's possible, but I bet we will **** up somehow. ISU isn't as bad as people think, they return Arnaud and Robinson, they will cause problems for us.

Oregon keeps running up the score, kicking field goals up 50+, and they get rewarded by jumping Iowa in the polls.

Dude, the winner of the Michigan and Notre Dame game is going to jump Boise State the following week to #3. The media will be circle jerking all over whoever wins that game only to find out that both of those teams still are only mediocre BCS teams.

There shouldn't be a single Big 10 team in the top 10, let alone 4 in the top 15.

How do you figure

That's a take based on perception and not reality. Have you seen Ohio State play? They won their bowl game and beat the team that a lot of people thought were top-5 material last year (Oregon). They're even better this year. Iowa only lost 4 or 5 starters off an 11-2 team that also won a BCS game.

Dude the Big 10 very well might be the best conference this year. I know I can tell you in week one the SEC and Big 12 looked extremely weak. Time will tell but just because OSU repeatedly fails in the big game doesn't necessarily mean the entire conference is shit. OSU craps their pants in big games usually because Jim Tressel plays overly conservative and shit ends up happening.

There is a ton of Big 10 hate around, and maybe rightfully so somewhat due to OSU's chokejobs but that conference repeatedly puts a ton of talent in the NFL and recruits well. The B10 performed pretty well in bowls last year too. I expect the Big 10 to have two BCS bowl teams w/ ease and probably 3 teams in the Top 10 at the end of the year.

Sick burn brah.

I'm not sure we'll have 3 Top Tens...attrition tends to knock teams out. I think teams like Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, and even Northwestern (as we learned last year) often rise up and win games against the top 3.

Is this your first day at ESPN?

It'll be interesting to see how the Big 10 does next week against Miami & Alabama. We'll also see if FSU is for real against Oklahoma and if Oregon puts up 77 on unranked Tennessee.

OSU, yes. PSU, no--they're overranked, in my opinion, only because they're playing with a freshman QB. I would be extremely surprised if they looked decent against Alabama. I think they'll get clubbed.

Yeah, I agree. If anybody in the Big 10 is overrated this year it is Penn State. I actually think Northwestern and Michigan could surprise people this year.

Who knows? It's just too early. I think Bama runs Penn State out of the stadium. I think Miami will put up a good fight, but still falls short at C-bus.

Definitely some good games, though.

Alabama, OU, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, TCU, Boise St, V Tech, USC, Oregon, LSU, North Carolina (preseason), Miami, G Tech, S Carolina would all be preseason favorites (probably top 2) to win the Big 10 if they were in that conference. The first 7 would absolutely be the odds on favorites to win it.

I agree.
