about what i figured.

 

I still dont think that Va Tech should be in front of ND or Bama the way they got murdered by Miami.

 

ND? Who has Notre Dame beaten? They moved into the top 25 because they beat a Michigan team that was ranked #3 and is now lucky to be in the top 25... They move up in the polls for losing to USC.. they have 0 defense.. all they have is a name... I'm sure anyone associated with NBC is required to rank them high..

 

They have a pretty damn good offense last time I checked. Quinn is someone I would want under center and Samardzija and Stovall are awesome. They got screwed out of beating USC and just barely lost to MSU. I think they are pretty damn good.

BTW, I hate ND with a passion--doesn't mean they aren't a good team.

 

ND is good and they are well-coached. That said, it is stupid to rank a two loss team ahead of a one loss team.

:cuss:

 

Does that mean that TCU (10-1) should be ranked above Ohio State, ND, Georgia, and Auburn (all 2 loss teams)???

 

How is South Carolina behind Florida with the exact same W-L record and a win head-to-head?

 

4th in AP as well

My guess would be it's because Florida has a victory over a top ten team and South Carolina doesn't????
That said, I prefer your logic....
