LSU #1, USC #2? That's really blowing your mind? Well, it's not like it's the most unbeaten path ever.
I'm not the only one who thinks USC is not the No. 1 team. And a handful of coaches do not think USC or LSU are No. 1.
Maybe I'm not so insane?
Also, Mr. Black N' Gold, I have seen West Virginia play this year. Twice. And 1-3 East Carolina has the No. 106 offense in the country. I'm not saying West Virginia is bad, I just think there are some flaws, mainly on the defensive side (virtually none on the offensive side). Yes, WVU has a Top 15 unit, but in their four wins they have not faced a Top 65 offense. Like I said, Friday will be a great test. A strong outing by WVU and I'll believe the Mountaineers are the best team in the Big East. And I'll ask Bob about ya...you from Pittsburgh?
Also, Mr. furnk, I think you're right. But I thought about this for a good bit yesterday and here's what I came up with...I think it's easier to become cohesive on offense. Many times you're forced to work with what you have with a respect to talent and athleticism. It's tougher to play to your strengths. If PSU can get more physical up front, they can ask Morelli and his tattoo to do less. We'll see. They're fading, but not out of it yet.

Adam,
Don't sweat the heat on LSU being #1, as you illustrate in your Red Circles, you're far from the only one who thinks so.
I agree, LSU has been extremely impressive. If they hold up through a tough SEC conference schedule and an SEC championship, who could argue?
Besides, whether these self proclaimed experts want to admit it or not, they put to much emphasis on USC's results of the last couple years. Remember folks, Bush, Lineheart, and White play on Sundays now.
Adam, Yeah, I'm from the Pittsburgh area originally. Been on LI eight years now though. What do you think of Terrell Pryor? Where do you think he's headed next year?
Did not say it was unprecedented, just anti-west coast...I would like to know the geographic locations of those 22 & 8 voters.
Paul, you going to be around when the PAC-10 goes down in flames once the competition heats up?
Oregon State 2-2
Washington 2-2
Wash. State 2-2
Arizona 1-3
Stanford 1-2
B&G, the going up in flames thing could easily happen. I am not saying that. Heck, by the years' end the only team that might still be around is USC. And it has nothing to do with the last few years. It has to do with what I see, and that is key. Hard to judge what you don't see. Like most voters in CFB polls, and by the way, SEC is tough, but LSU's offense is not.
Assuming the BCS rankings are the same as the USA Today poll, does it really matter who is No. 1 and who is No. 2? I mean, isn't that the whole point of the championship game? Do we need to look any further than last year?
I'm much more concerned about who is No. 3.
