On what basis?... Are you serious? Well, its not like they're LSU fans or anything. Its not that LSU was absolutely dominating VTech on primetime television either. Or maybe they're proud of the conference that their team is representing so well? You're absolutely correct! What right did they have to chant in their own stadium? Well, I guess they had the same right as California did during their chant of "Pac-10 Football!" when they were beating Tennessee by a TD.

And the SEC went 7-4 the past weekend. Not very impressive, you're right. But, two of those losses were from SEC teams beating other SEC teams. Not to mention, the SEC is the only conference that doesn't contain a team with a losing record. Yeah, having tradition is such a bummer. You're as much biased as the "SEC homer coaches and writers."

I've seen one game of each team and Oklahoma has looked better than Florida and West Virginia. Therefore, they should be ranked higher. Oklahoma beat the #28 ranked team by 38 points. That is more impressive than West Virginia and Florida beating a teams not ranked in the top 40 by a lesser margin. Whether WVU and UF did anything to drop in the rankings, Oklahoma DID do something to jump ahead of them. Miami isn't a garbage team like you make them out to be. There were ranked three spots outside the top 25.

well most teams had more impressive victories than usc, does that mean usc should be moved to the 10-20 range?

Yes, I do think that Troy could and would beat Miami. And as for the bolded part, well... they ARE *my* opinions!

What about Marshall? Are they a pretty good team who would beat Miami too.

???

Marshall is subpar. Quit putting words in my mouth.

SEC still > pac-10

5 sec teams and 4 pac-10.

Except teams 23, 24, and 25 are a part of the SEC. So if you were to go from teams 22 and down it would be PAC-10 4 vs. SEC 3 (Even though I am surprised at how high Arkansas is, but they are a top-25 team as of now).
