I have to throw this out there...

After Syracuse AD Daryl Gross decides to fire coach Greg Robinson after 4 years of horrible performance, Syracuse beats Notre Dame in South Bend, 24-23. Go CUSE! LOL!

It is a sad day when i am happy football season is over and looking forward to BB season. 3-9 ... oh well ... maybe we will get a few first downs next year

[KnoxX2]

How about those Ohio State Luckeyes Guess someone felt sorry for them and put themin the Top 10!!!

I am starting to think it will be Texas and Florida in the Big Game!!!

I just don't understand the "romance" that the press and the BCS has with Florida. They have one loss just like a lot of other teams. The only difference is ............they lost at home to an unranked team!! Oh...i'm sorry, Mississippi is now ranked #25. The first time they have been ranked since 2003. At least the other 1 loss teams either lost on the road or to a highly ranked team or both. Texas : on road to #6 team. Texas Tech : on road to #5 team. USC : on road to #17 team. Oklahoma : at home, but to #1 team. Not that I think they are in the same league as the previously mentioned schools, but even Penn State's loss came on the road. This just goes to show that the BCS caters to the schools based on tradition, not the team they have that year. I just don't feel Florida should be in the Title Game this year, but they will probably get in just for the advertising and marketing. Hopefully Alabama takes care of business, and gets in.

I agree. I pull for Florida when I watch them play for the simple reason that I have several friends on here that are die hards. BUT, Alabama is by far the best team this year IMHO I don't understand why many don't even put them on the radar when talking about the big game. NOT hating on the Gators, bby makes a very valid point

I'm glad somebody else here feels the same way that I do about this. The gay-tors are nothing special. If Ohio State had gotten beaten at home by Indiana, we would have never heard the end of it. I can't wait till next year when tebow is in the NFL and you never hear about him again.

One additional thing.......Ohio State gets beat by usc and drops like 11 spots, T.Tech gets throttled and only drops 5 spots.....what up wit' dat????

Yes, Florida did get beat at home by an unranked team. But since then they have played ranked teams and beaten them by an average of 40 points. Any other college teams doing that EVERY WEEK??? I don't think so. You cannot argue that Florida is playing BETTER football than anyone in the Nation and if they beat Alabama they deserve to be in the National Championship Game PERIOD!!!

As for you CP..................No one gave the Gators a chance against your beloved Luckeyes in 2006 and we all remember the 41-14 lashing...............

The fact is the SEC "IS the TOUGHEST" Conference at the present time and strength of schedule is a factor in the BCS Rankings................

Just in Case you forgot...............Your quarterback was running for his life all night...........

Let's compare teams played to date......

Florida = 3 ranked teams played
Texas = 4 ranked teams played
Oklahoma = 4 ranked teams played
Texas Tech = 4 ranked teams played

If you check the AP rankings....... I believe the Big 12 has 5 teams in the top 12 while the SEC only has 4 teams in the top 25. So the math points to the Big 12 being the top conference this year.
