These polls are a joke.
How do you justify a jump from #7 to #2 over teams that won or didn't play? Why even have polls throughout the season then?
It's a total bull system. Just have one poll at the end of the year and be done with it.
That does make it easier.

ing bull if the coaches poll stands.
UGA got screwed, we won our last 7 games, what other teams can say that. OK we didn't win the SEC but where does it say we have to? Right now, except for Hawaii, we are the best team in the nation and we should get the chance to prove it.
Too bad the rankings aren't based on you last 7 games (you actually won your last 6), it's based on your entire season and you lost twice, once to a mediocre S Carolina team, and then you got whalloped by Tennessee 35-14!
That doesn't support your contention that you're the Best.
The polls have been a joke since the BCS started. There should not be a pre-season poll at all. They shouldn't start one until week 8 when the BCS is started. Putting some of these teams to the top at the beginning of the season is a huge advantage when some of them don't even deserve it. Look at Michigan at #5 this year.
So looks like either LSU or Oklahoma vs. Ohio State. Either one will be a good game I think. Would love to see Hawaii against the other just to show that they deserve to be up there as well.
The polls are a joke because if this was any other week in the season, I doubt LSU jumps Georgia. And why can only LSU jump Georgia? What about VaTech? Shouldn't they jump Georgia as well? Oh, right the LSU thing is just to put them into the le game. All the other teams not in the top 3 don't matter anymore.
It's just turned into a popularity contest and has nothing to do with football. I mean, does anybody remember that OU and LSU both lost to unranked teams in the last few weeks? Didn't think so.
Yeah I know. Any other week and Georgia is 2 and Kansas is 3. The BCS says that not going to your conference championship doesnt matter, but it obviously matters to the voters. It is very lame, and it is a popularity contest.
I read on one of these posts, can't remember who said it that LSU would just because of it being in New Orleans this year and would make the most money that way. Find it hard to disagree with that.
I forgot to add OU's meteoric rise from #9 to #3, jumping two teams that won (one being a CCG against a ranked team just like OU) and two teams that didn't play.
Is it safe to assume that week 13's rankings mean absolutely nothing?
Just announced, WV against Okla. in the Tos os Fiesta Bowl.
Kansas against VT in the Orange Bowl.
LMAO, Kansas was rewarded for losing to Missouri.
Yeah that's just horrible voting. Hope Hawaii destroys Georgia.
Oops typo, I've been up way too many hours but you missed what I was saying-RIGHT NOW, not for the whole season. We had an awful start and we're paying for it, I don't deny that but any other year that wouldn't matter. It's no secret that 2 10-2 teams rankings would vary greatly delending on when their losses are. You lose your first 2 you could be in the top 5, lose the last 2 and you'll be lucky to be in the top 15.
That doesn't support your contention that you're the Best.
We're ranked #4, the 2 top teams lose, any other week, we'd be #2 but we slip to #5, bull !
It's all political and monetary which is another reason why POs are needed. The Sugar Bowl isn't a bad bowl to be in but not when you could be in the ntl championship game or we could have gone to the Rose Bowl-Illinios? Wtf?
Go Buckeyes!!!
You keep falling into the "compe ive integrity" fallacy.
The issue at hand is not who between Kansas and Missouri has a better football team.
The issue is, which fan base will generate more revenue for the Orange Bowl?
Mizzou fans have just had to travel to San Antonio and spend discretionary income at the Big 12 le game. What do they have left now to go to Miami?
If the rules allowed for it, the Orange Bowl would have invited Notre Dame.
Agreed.
If #1 and #2 lose and then #3 moves to #1...by the same system #4 should be moved to #2. I don't think UGA should be in the le game but if you are going to elevate Ohio State using the current system, you should do the same with Georgia.
Illinois? In the Rose Bowl? Jesus, the Big 10 was bad this year. Ohio St. is gonna get stomped.
KU fans save all their money for March. Despite that Mangino has gotten them to 2 of their first bowl games in quite a long time, their attendance was pretty sparse.
Rumor has it that their AD is already discounting student tickets by as much as 2/3 in an attempt to stimulate some kind of demand.
yep Ohio State sucks. We stand no chance against the mighty LSU
- 2002 Ohio State, 2003 LSU, 2005 Texas, 2006 Florida
the underdog has won 4 out of the last 5 BCS Championship Games, 7 of 9 overall since the start of the BCS

What a ing joke the BCS has become! The Big-12 gets 3 teams in BCS Bowl games??? WTF??? Right now USC is the best team in the country and they will be playing Illinois??? Arizona State got hosed by being shut out of a BCS Bowl game. The Beavers got hosed by the Sun Bowl after they chose Oregon (whom the Beavs beat!) over OSU. OSU should be in the Holiday Bowl vs Texas if everything worked as it should.
what 3 teams?
They got OU and KU...that's it.The Big-12 gets 3 teams in BCS Bowl games???
My bad. I thought Missouri was in a BCS Bowl. As Emily Latella would say......."Never mind."
the beavs got hosed by the rose bowl not wanting pac 10 vs pac 10.
This does truly Suck that Georgia has to play Hawaii.
No matter what happens, it's a lose-lose situation for them.
If they win, they were supposed to win, and get no respect.
And if they lose.....Well, that's pretty self-explanatory
I agree, noone wants to play Georgia, but you can't tell me losing in 3 OT's to either Kentucky or Arkansas is as bad as getting worked by 3 TD's to Tennessee.
I'm just saying.
GEAUX TIGERS
Here's the bull part of it.....
There almost 2 months before tOSU plays again. Is that really a true judge of the best team....Not in my opinion. Anything can happen.
But Ohio State hasn't really been tested this year, and Big Ten Football is basically Triple A ball compared to the Major Leagues of the SEC.
You put tOSU in the SEC and they are at least a 2-3 loss team.
This is the best matchup LSU could get with the teams out there.
If both teams are healthy.
I can see LSU winning 31-17.
Well considering that Ohio State is a team full of 4&5 star players, and future NFLer, I don't think they will be undermanned. Ohio State is a Triple A to nobody. Year in and Year out they get some of the best prospects this country has to offer. Half of their roster was recruited by SEC schools including LSU. There is no talent difference, the difference is the coaches...which one will have his team the most prepared.
FYI, Ohio State has 2nd the most players in the NFL behind only USC...and they still hold the most 1st round draft picks in the NFL Draft with 66.
