If Louisville beats WVU on Thursday this will be different.

 

True, but it throws out the window that the BCS will rank undefeated teams higher than one loss teams.

Coincidentally.... I looked up Boise State as well just for fun.

 

Sac St was not listed as a D1 team, but here is the remainder:

 

Oregon State - 30 (42-14 win)

Wyoming - 67

Hawaii - 34 (41-34 win)

Utah - 64

La Tech - 99

New Mexico State - 111

Idaho - 94

 

Average -- 71.2, also while having 2 teams ranked higher than UL's highest to this point.

 

1.3 better than UL's. Granted that UL plays #2 and #12 and Boise St will play #110, #62, #109, and #50 upcoming. This was just meant to shed some light on Boise State's seemingly terrible scheduling.

In reading about the BCS in the NYT this morning, I discovered that 2/3 of the BCS points come from all of the polls which does not take into account any statistical data such as SOS. That bodes well for an undefeated team from the BEAST.

Are you talking about the 2/3s meaning the Coach's and Harris polls? Or 2/3s of the computer polls?

I'm saying that 66% of the computation that determines BCS points comes from USA Today/ESPN interactive poll and the Harris Poll.That helps the cause of the winner of UL/WVU.

Papa Johns Stadium should be renamed The Looney Bin.

 

And as for another post, it was said that Florida is overrated and that they have beaten overrated competition. I honestly could not believe that there was not a response to that.

 

I could not find a week by week Sportsline 119, but these are the current standings for UL's oponents right now of 119 teams.

 

Here you go RedRowdyRam:

 

UK - 70

Temple - 113

Miami (FL) - 41

Kansas St. - 52

MTSU - 80

Cincinnati - 71

Syracuse - 81

 

Average - 72.5

 

Florida's:

 

So. Miss - 58

Central Florida - 100

Tennessee - 8

UK - 70

Alabama - 38

LSU - 16

Auburn - 6

Georgia - 31

 

Average: 40.8

 

UL's best opponent to this date is ranked 41, while Florida's is 6. And not to mention they also have 2 other top 20 teams. Florida has 5 opponents ranked higher than UL's highest.

 

Florida has more than proven themselves while UL is sitting in the shadows of a laughable schedule and taking the credit for being undefeated.

 

Now I will finish off with this. UL will be playing the #2 and #12 team according to the SL 119, but to this point UL has done little more than what any team ranked from 30-50 could do with the same schedule.

 

SEC competition....doesn't hold water...

Not if UL wins.

Not if UL wins.

 

Thats speculation. The FACT is that currently there are 3 undefeated teams ranked behind at least 1 1-loss team.

 

The BCS is wierd and being undefeated holds no promise of putting you ahead of 1-loss teams.

 

Right now nobody knows if a 1-loss Michigan/OSU/Auburn/UF team will get the nod above an undefeated UL/WVU/Rutgers team. With the BCS it could go either way.

I'm on record saying that the undefeated BEAST team should not move ahead of many of the one-loss teams. However, Jerry Palm says its inevitable that UL or WVU would be one of the two teams in the championship game if they remain undefeated. As much as that disappoints me and proves the system is flawed, I trust that Jerry Palm knows what he is talking about.
