Still has the #1 margin of victory of all FBS schools, even after the 13-6 game. No complaints here.

My only comments:

1) I’d put Georgia at #14 and TCU around #12. TCU got smoked by Oklahoma, but I think their defense could hold up to anyone. I think of them as a Mountain West version of Ohio State. LSU and Missouri look like paper tigers, no pun intended. Georgia dropping further reflects how mediocre the league is outside of Bama and Florida.

2) Georgia Tech below Florida State?

and I have to say, all bias aside, I think we could take either of them. I think our offense is more than capable of scoring on either of them as well as owing the TOP game. While I don’t think our defense would exactly shut them down, I think they have shown that they are capable of forcing teams to punt, forcing teams to settle for three and forcing turnovers. Plus I’m confident that Coach Bradley knows how to prepare that squad for just about anything an opposing offense might throw at us. Coach Paterno’s record for preparing a team for a bowl game speaks for itself.

This is my cause of the week. Texas beat two teams in your top ten, and lost on the road, at night, in the last few seconds, to the team you’re ranking #2. Florida’s two best wins, meanwhile, come against your #11 and #14 teams, and they lost at home to Ole Freaking Miss. If you’re arguing that Florida’s playing better football right now, I won’t argue with you, but unless you’re doing this power rankings-style, how can you put UF above UT?

Florida looks great, but they lost at home to a mediocre team. Texas lost on the road against a good team.

Gotta penalize Florida for losing at HOME. F’em

If I did a poll Texas would be ahead of Florida, but if I had to bet, I would take Florida -7 over Texas.

I think Tech and Bama BOTH must lose. I think Florida has a good chance of passing us with the hype they could get out of a win over #1 in the SEC championship while we sit at home.

Our wins:

Miami (dominated them, despite score…out gained by 250 yards)
VTech (knocked out their QB)
NC State on Thursday Night
Colorado

Now, I know the offense is seriously clicking under Jimbo (despite having 3 true freshmen and 2 sophomore starters on the OLine), but we’re not that good yet.

How resume based are you? If not resume, then I think FSU is fine.

Ugh.

"If Penn State plays any of the top 5 teams in the Big 12… they lose by 21. A lot of this is mental masturbation and statistical self-gratification. I can’t believe anyone even considers Penn State better than a one loss OU or a one loss UT.

I think I just threw up in my mouth."

Pretty amazing how quickly teams and conferences not used to success will puff out their chests and scream “what about me!?!” Also pretty amazing how quickly everyone forgets that OU has been an embarrassment in the BCS for about twice as long as OSU.

But why let facts get in the way of knee-jerk reactions?

…is the age old chicken/egg debate. Which came first?

Are the offenses that good because the defenses are terrible, or are the defenses so terrible because the offenses are that good?

There’s really no way to prove either except by looking at OOC games, but unfortunately no one in the BXII (outside of OU with Cincy) played anyone!!

Luckily for them, they’ve been quick to use the tried-and-true “SEC Excuse,” in that the conference is just “so darn tough!!” that they don’t need tough OOC schedules.

who has Penn State played who is any good?

A punchless Ohio State team which was blown out by an average USC team?

Temple? Syracuse? Wow.

Y’all were losing at halftime, and struggling with the WORST Michigan team of the last century.

What has Penn State done that validates such a high ranking?

im pretty sure they are good.

at least good enough to beat usc.

wait a second-TT needed an overtime to beat a sh!tty nebraska team. at home. when they were up 14 going into the fourth quarter.

TT were getting beaten by YOUR team, A&M, at halftime by 3.

of course, the second half was a little different.

I have a few questions:

1) Why did Jarvorski Lane start crying with 7 MINUTES left to go in the 4th quarter of the Alamo Bowl? Did he have no concept of how time works – or had he never played organized football to know that seven minutes is plenty of time to score two touchdowns. Perhaps he overheard the announcers and realized he was losing to a team with an “offensive braintrust” led by Jay Paterno and Anthony Pepperoni? Awwww, poor baby. That was such a meaningful game too. I’d treasure that Alamo Bowl championship ring for as long as I live! Boo hoo!!!! Jarvorski, be thankful your 7-5 butt got a Wii in the gift basket, you big baby.

2) Do you find that by trumping up the rest of the BigXII it makes your team look less crappy or are you just trying to hide the fact that you now look worse than the Baylor Bears? Which A&M win do you consider most thrilling this year – New Mexico, Army, Colorado, or Iowa State?

3) Are there any females that go to school at Texas A&M? It’s probably the only fanbase that makes Notre Dame look attractive in comparison.

Honestly people, if you’re trying to rationalize with an A&M fan named “Beergut” what do you expect? Rational debate? You have to stoop to his level.

I find it funny that last year there were no major BSC teams that were undefeated, and this year Penn State has a chance to do it after beating Illinois, a team that returned a shitload of players this year, and a OSU team that returned a shitload of players this year…the same OSU team that has only lost 3 homes games in the last 7 years…Wisconsin…a team hat was getting their shit tugged on by everybody in the country. OH NO! Penn State beats all of them, plus (a shitty) Michigan, plus Purdue who was supposed to be this great team with the best NFL-ready QB in the country, and now all of those teams were never good. Let’s not give Penn State a chance…the same Penn State team that goes into their bowl game every single time as the most well-prepared bowl team in history. And yes…the Big 12 has very very terrible defenses. Look at your picture…what a joke…I’m getting sick of this SHIT!!

35 points to Kansas State, and 28 points to Nebraska.

The Kansas State and Nebraska games were after OU lost their MLB for the season during the texas game.

Their defense has been a sieve ever since he went down.
