We also talked about how this was basically a young Oklahoma team that just didn't finish the win. They learned a hard lesson about playing the full 60. I still think Oklahoma could beat any of the teams behind them, but this is what the BP is all about - listening to feedback. Where should we put them? What about BC? Good point.

This was the hardest week to reconfigure the rankings after all the losses. We struggled moving everybody up just because they were undefeated. I mean, BC's ahead of Florida to, but I think UF would likely kick their ass head to head...maybe we subconsciously punished UF a little more for "other" reasons.

HAH Oklahoma still at 6? Really? So they can lose to Colorado and drop three slots, but Florida loses to Auburn and they drop six? I don't see the logic. “We risked losing 25% of our commenters if we passed on Erickson’s pups again.”

That was 1AA (football championship subdivision, if anyone cares) UMass that didn't even have Marcus Camby playing. Of course, they could have been looking ahead to the mighty BG Falcons this week.

Every year WVU is the darkhorse media darling and every year they slip up." The media always ranks them high because of their cake schedule. The logic goes like this: "WVU is a light-weight team, but they'll probably go undefeated because they don't play anyone. Hence, we should rank them high." If you ask me, the Big Least should get the Boise State treatment. “Evidently the Greatest Window Dressing on Earth. Every year WVU is the darkhorse media darling and every year they slip up.”
