Nah, not the typical whiney crap that happens every week. I thought Oregon might jump LSU but I just looked at Sagarins numbers and now I think it's a longshot.

Underdog to Oklahoma and Kansas....I highly doubt that.(there is zero respect for Big 12 nationally this year, unlike sec)

I get you think LSU is better, and obviously you think your three loss gators are better. But are you telling me Auburn and Georgia are better too???

I realize Oklahoma doesn't schedule the power house OOC games with Youngstown State(which is a AA team), Akron and Kent like Ohio State does But they have beat 2 teams that currently have 8 wins, 2 other with 6 and they are all from 1A conferences

And as for Kansas they did play a Big Ten type of schedule including teams like Central Michigan, SE lousiana, Toledo and Florida Interational But they are also averaging 46 points a game. Of course they are only averaging a measly 40 points a game in their own division

How about FSU showing up straight out of 1999 to beat BC. The defense looked like a classic Mickey Andrews unit.

I believe on UGA's and Auburn's good days they could beat OSU. OSU still hasn't been tested yet.

Hatred? Don't confuse not being a fanboy with hate.

But speaking of hate how does Florida beat a slightly below average team like Vandy but do so by a comfortable margin which shouldn't effect the computer rankings while tending to influence the human polls yet Harris and The Coaches dropped them 1 spot and they moved up 5 spots in the BCS computers?????

Auburn beats 4-6 AA Tenn Tech by 30 points and Florida beats Vandy by 27 and they swap positions with Florida moving down in the coaches poll? Connecticut beats Unranked Rutgars and jumps both florida and Auburn in the humans. This is nuts.

In no way does this qualify them.
And you are quite the hater lately....acting as if it's unique to OSU or Big 10

Now who's name is there talking crap about the big 12???

Yep, Big 12 gets ZERO respect, They only have the 4, 5, 6 and 14th ranked teams in the nation I guess we can rename them the Rodney Dangerfield conference.

As I noted a number of times previously, I think the BCS computer's mid season rankings are rigged to not make sense. The computer will get reasonabe at the very end of the season and cause a lot of debate/ interest mid season. After all, that's what drives up the ratings and brings in the money.

Let's take a look at the Big 12:

#4 Kansas - has played NO ONE
#5 Oklahoma - beat Texas 28-21 & beat Missouri 41-31(so they are good)
#6 Missouri - has ONLY played Oklahoma and LOST 41-31
#14 Texas - has only played Oklahoma and LOST 28-21 and have had to have crazy comebacks to beat aweful teams a couple times.

So except for OU...they stink!

You do know Ohio State has the best defense in the country right?

I wold love for Ohio State to play LSU. Go ahead and put them as an underdog. They play better that way

Just like every Ohio State fan at first loved that they played FLA. What happened again...41-14?

LSU is going to work OSU if they play each other.
