Silicon loves those Gators which actually have as a group the Gators at #1. Both OK and USC cracked the top 10. There are ZERO bowl eligible Big 10 = 12 teams in the Top 25. Northwestern is the top Big 10 = 12 team at 28.

FYI..really good article on the BCS poll by Pat Forde at YahooSports. ( there's a link at RealClearSports)

It's all good fun now, because the teams will end up playing each other for the most part.

His key point is that the computers LOVE strength of schedule ( which explains why Gators are #2) whereas most voters don't give it that much credence.

Kirk Herbstreet, on BCS show on ESPN ( and you can watch it online) agrees, says most voters can't tell he difference between Beavers and Ducks..they just hear "Oregon.."

Biggest question after this week..will Mack Brown last the season at Texas...wonder how the Longhorn Network ratings are doing? LOL

Mark May graded the entire Big Ten with an “F.” Northwestern has exciting games, he should have made at least one exception with that grading.

Oregon is #1, or #2. NOT #3.

8: The OSU With Cute Mascot
9: OU

Ack! Acronym overload. Ohio State is in sports jail and can't be on the BCS list this year so it must be some other OSU. Then I had to look to see how the drunken fratboys at Ohio University (mascot is a student in a polo shirt passed out in a parking lot) got to number 8. Nope, it's just Oklahoma. :-)

Fortunately, almost everyone has to fight this out on the gridiron. Before they can win the crystal trophy,

Alabama has LSU, Texas A&M, Iron Bowl, *SEC championship game.

Florida has South Carolina, Georgia, Florida St., *SEC championship game.

Oregon has USC, Oregon St., *Pac 12 championship game.

Kansas St. has Texas, West Virginia

1-loss South Carolina has Florida, *SEC Championship game.

Notre Dame has Oklahoma, USC.

1-loss Oklahoma has Notre Dame, West Virginia.

Oregon St. has Stanford, Oregon, *Pac-12 championship game.

1-loss LSU has Alabama, *SEC Championship game.

1-loss So. Cal has Oregon, Notre Dame, *Pac-12 championship game.

* - if they win their respective division.

So, you see, everyone still has at least two tests left on their schedules with Alabama and Kansas St. probably the easiest roads to the title game but certainly not a cakewalk.
