Seeing that we play this week, it really doesn't matter either way. It'll be accurate come next Sunday. I think the voters realize that we are the better team and will most likely beat ASU on Saturday. I think I'd actually rather be ranked below them. It just looks that much better if we win.

We should be ranked ahead of you guys this week, but I do agree that it doesn't really matter because next week's game decides the PAC-10 title.

I'm definately not an OSU fan, but who has ASU beat that's better? Cal and Colorado?

Not at all, they're good teams. Not amazing, but good. They're like the teams that others have lost to. Penn St. is in the same boat as Cal right now, both unranked with 3 losses. And VT is just massively overrated. Not one of the 3 unbeatens have really played a great team yet, until ASU plays Oregon this week.

I would say that Cal is better than every team that BC and OSU has played.

Of course you would, because that makes your team look better. Heads up, Cal lost to fricking Oregon State. And a bad UCLA team. Cal aint that good.

draftguru151 · 10-28-2007, 05:02 PM

Yea, Cal is very close to being a 4-4 team. If that is your best win, you really don't have much room to trash someone else's schedule.

CARDIAC CAT 7 · 10-28-2007, 05:03 PM

If ASU wins out and Boston College wins out and LSU still has the same amount of loses, ASU better be in the National Championship game, if all theyre games where not a 10 EST then alot more people would realize how good they are, the PAC is the 2nd strongest confrence this year, if ASU would just get off to faster starts they would be blowing out teams and be ranked 2nd right now.

That's your opinion, and the voters have theirs. It's not all about the record. Well, unless you're BC. Watching both teams play, it's not surprising that most people are more impressed with the Ducks. Honestly, I don't think you guys will put up much of a fight against us at Autzen this week. I respect your team and your record, but I just can't see you guys containing us. Nothing homerish about that. I thought SC might beat us this past week, but I see us beating you guys by a tidy margin on Saturday. Beat us, and I'll have you guys ranked #1. That will be as impressive a victory as anybody has had this year. As of right now though, we've been the more impressive team.

You might, I certainly wouldn't. Forget BC. They beat on overrated VaTech team. I would say Cal is a wash with PSU. PSU's defense is far superior to Cal's. Cal's offense is far superior to PSU's. It's at best a wash. Neither team is anything special though. I can't believe I'm defending Ohio State.

You forgot someone.

I say if ASU wins out, beating USC and Oregon, along with BC and OSU winning out, then OSU vs ASU should be the matchup. The ACC is awful. LSU wouldn't jump an undefeated team. Hopefully.

Seriously? I would have kind of agreed at the start of the year, but not now. They have 3 bowl eligible teams right now. I admit, Oregon is a great team. I love them. ASU hasn't played anyone, and USC is not close to what they were(although they're still a good team with a great defense). If ASU beats Oregon(which I don't think they'll come close to)I might change my tune. I guess I might call them the second best conference because everyone else is having a down year, but not because they have a bunch of great teams this year.

Yeah, I'm really hoping that voters aren't stupid enough for LSU to jump either BC, ASU, or OSU. I am on the fence about Kansas. Kansas might possibly play only 1 ranked team this year (Mizzu) before the Big 12 championship game. Honestly, Kansas has never looked that impressive to me. I think Mizzu is overrated, but I don't know what to say if there are 2 unbeaten teams and 1 of those teams in Kansas. I would say let them play in the NC, but I would hope for not a blowout.

Edit: College Gameday is going to Eugene for the second time this year!!!!!!

dont get used to it. you play WVU and RU soon. not a chance you win both of those games.

Turtlepower · 10-28-2007, 07:01 PM

Biggest surprise to me is that Boise State is back up there.

if we beat rutgers at home this week, and then lose to wvu on the road, i dont see us falling out of the rankings.

Losing to Rutgers you guys won't fall out, but 2 straight might. Have faith because a good team always has some luck on their side.

fenikz · 10-28-2007, 07:06 PM

In general I agree with the BCS standings

well beating RU would improve you b/c the voters know that they are still a very good team. But i dont think you'll score on us. dropping what, 21? on louisville is pretty bad. 7 of which came of a bogus fair catch non call

its going to be a low scoring game for sure. I expect to see heavy doses of Ray Rice and Andre Dixon for each team.
