October 14, 200718 yr The computers appear to have a love affair with South Florida, while most humans do not. USF is really starting to get love from the humans as well...If they go undefeated they are inthe title game without a doubt.
October 14, 200718 yr The SEC Championship game winner gets an automatic BCS bowl bid, other than that it does come down to the rankings and the at-large BCS bids. I don't think they have ever had 3 teams from the same conference in the BCS games, I could be wrong though. I don't think there is any rule against it though. There actually is a rule against it. Wisconsin was a third highly ranked team from the Big 10 in the BCS last year, but since OSU was in the championship and Michigan the Rose Bowl, Wisconsin was relegated to regular bowls.
October 14, 200718 yr If UK was ranked where they should be in the Coaches and Harris poll, ahead of Oregon, West Virginia, and USC they would be #5 right now
October 14, 200718 yr UK is 7th. Complete Rankings 1 Ohio State 7-0 2 South Florida 6-0 3 Boston College 7-0 4 LSU 6-1 5 Oklahoma 6-1 6 South Carolina 6-1 7 Kentucky 6-1 8 Arizona State 7-0 9 West Virginia 5-1 10 Oregon 5-1 11 Virginia Tech 6-1 12 California 5-1 13 Kansas 6-0 14 USC 5-1 15 Florida 4-2 16 Missouri 5-1 17 Auburn 5-2 18 Hawaii 7-0 19 Virginia 6-1 20 Georgia 5-2 21 Tennessee 4-2 22 Texas 5-2 23 Cincinnati 6-1 19 24 Texas Tech 6-1 25 Michigan 5-2
October 15, 200718 yr Crazy thing is.... If LSU can run the table & get some teams to fall (USF & BC). They could find their way back in the Title game with 1 loss.
October 15, 200718 yr Crazy thing is.... If LSU can run the table & get some teams to fall (USF & BC). They could find their way back in the Title game with 1 loss.Kind of like Florida did last year.
October 15, 200718 yr The computers appear to have a love affair with South Florida, while most humans do not. USF is really starting to get love from the humans as well...If they go undefeated they are inthe title game without a doubt.Since everybody seems to be jumping on the Bull Bandwagon, all of a sudden, I'm preparing for the mass exodus if they do lose. I hope nobody gets hurt, but I expect a fair amount of trashing to happen. What ever happens from here on out, win lose or draw, this program has arrived. The coach is dedicated to the program and he and his staff has already proven that they can evaluate talent and recruit. The team is young. If they don't make it this year, they will soon. Hope springs eternal. The ticket prices can't be beat either.
October 15, 200718 yr If we can get past UF then we can start worrying about it I agree. Get past Florida then we will start talking BCS. What a season so far for the Cats!!
October 15, 200718 yr This poll shows what happens when teams in the stronger conferences knock each other off and allow the teams in the weaker conferences to rise to the top. And the meek shall inherit the earth. Rush Temples of Syrinx and Holy Bible Matthew 5:5

October 15, 200718 yr The funny thing is that as sure I'm sitting here, UK will still be the underdog this coming weekend...
October 15, 200718 yr The computer rankings in the BCS calculation have UK even higher. 1. South Florida 2. LSU 3. South Carolina 4. UK 5. Ohio St & Arizona St (t) 7. Boston College 8. Va Tech & Kansas (t) 10. West Virginia The strength of schedule (or lack thereof) is what has hurt Ohio St and Kansas here. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/BCSStandings
