Why are Florida and Auburn ahead of Texas in the BCS?

It's not all about who you lose to, it's also about who you beat.  And Florida and Auburn have both played tougher schedules than Texas.  \n\nAs mentioned, Texas's non-conference schedule outside of Ohio State is a joke (North Texas, Rice, Sam Houston State).  They're also hurt by the fact that the Big XII is weaker than the SEC (hell, Vanderbilt could probably be 2nd or 3rd in the Big XII North).

Not USC hope they loose a few next season and I hope sooners beat texas even though texas got a better draft But Florida got the best pick.

They still have an outside shot, but they are depending on things they can't control.  For them to make the BCS Championship game, they have to have several things happen.  They have to win out, and win the Big XII Championship.  Louisville must lose a game, or at least come really close to losing in all of their remaining games, as to make their BCS average go down.  I really think Florida has to lose another game as well for Texas to jump them.  Another thing that would really help Texas is if Nebraska wins out to win the Big XII North, that way when Texas plays them for the Big XII championship, Nebraska will have as good as a BCS average as possible.  That would help Texas's chances the most.\n\nHook'em!!!!!\n\nTrue, the computer rankings of the BCS score don't take into account margin of victory, but the human polls part of it does-the Coach's Poll as well as the Harris Poll.

USC is obviously better.  only florida fans would think that the gators are better than the trojans.  in fact, every sportswriter and most of the coaches feel the same way.\n\nflorida plays in a tough conference, but they haven't PROVEN anything except they can beat up on two C-USA opponents and a division 2 opponent.  are HIGH SCHOOL teams on florida's schedule next year?  jesus christ...give me a break!\n\nUSC has beat arkansas, nebraska, oregon, cal and notre dame, which are all ranked opponents now or at the time the trojans played them.  (and arkansas is one of the SEC powerhouses)\n\nokay, i know what florida fans are going to say.  arkansas is a much different team now.  well you know what?  SO IS USC!  the trojans win the big games and that's one of the things that count.\n\nplus, florida needed a miracle blocked field goal to beat south carolina in their own house.  then they could only beat florida state by 7 (and didn't look impressive doing it)\n\nbut i guess it really won't matter next week when arkansas beets florida in the SEC championship.  i think florida should savor the #4 ranking now because they will surely fall.

at least you don't have to worry about the bcs lol. top 25 rankings dont matter in the preseason and it is much more motivating to be the underdog so expect your team to come out with an attitude of something to prove. its not all bad.

You're with everyone else. New BCS rankings come out today, but In looking at what's ahead for USC, Arkansas, Florida and Notre Dame in the next few weeks - they'll most definitely play in one of the other top 4 bowl games.

dont start the schedule debate crap, add up usc's opponents record and average them out and do the same for florida and floridas is better without a question(western carolina or not)\n\nand by the way florida will probably be in the national title picture for at least the next 2 or 3 years, they got this kid named tim tebow, you must have never heard of him, but i guarantee u will, and by the way they also got pery harvin, riley cooper, jarred fayson, derrick harvey, brandon james all those kids are freshman or soph's. so i would watch out for the next few years, this team is loaded\n\nGO GATORS

Texas Tech has one of the best offenses in the country, and a top-25 defense. Alabama has the best defense, and a top-25 offense. My vote goes to Tech...but then I'm biased.

All signs point to LSU heading to the Rose Bowl (to play Michigan). If Florida loses to Arkansas, it's almost certain that Arkansas would be heading to the Sugar, and LSU to the Rose Bowl. \n\nLSU would most likely get the nod over a two loss Florida because Florida's loss would be more recent, and LSU's only losses are to Florida and Arkansas on the road, while Florida losses would be at Auburn and Arkansas (on a neutral field). \n\nLSU would also be ranked higher in the BCS Standings, and would be a more appealing choice over Florida. \n\nNevertheless, if Florida wins they're at least heading to the Sugar Bowl, with an outside chance shot at the NCG (if USC loses, and Florida passes Michigan in the polls).

The rankings are on TV at about 4:15 on the Fox Post-Game Show.  They will be up on their website shortly after that.\nhttp://www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfootball/\n\nThere is a possibility of a championship Ohio State-Michigan matchup.  It would probably be easier for that to happen if Ohio State lost, not Michigan, because Ohio State's considered the better team.  It would also help more if teams like Florida, Texas, USC, Auburn and Notre Dame got second losses.  Texas will be the hardest one to get a second loss, but Ohio State would probably rank higher than them even if Texas stays a one-loss team.  Florida and Auburn are in the SEC and there's an SEC championship - so they could easily catch a loss there.  USC has to play Notre Dame and Cal, and Notre Dame plays USC.  I would fear that the SEC champion that's not Arkansas comes out with one loss and Michigan loses to Ohio State -- that would be the worse scenario.

Yes, they are. \n\nFlorida or Arkansas will go to the Sugar as the SEC champ (automatic bid). If Florida loses the SEC, they'll end up in the Orange Bowl, accepting the at-large selection (good for recruiting). If Arkansas loses, the Rose wouldn't take them becasue they won't travel well, and they're a 2 loss team that got whipped by USC and recently lost to LSU; Ark. would end up in the Cotton. \n\nLSU has a strong following, and next best Pac 10 team has 3 losses and is ranked 18th in the BCS (Cal), so no way the Rose touches them. Since the Rose Bowl has first choice of the teams that play in a BCS game (there are no conference requirements as some have posted) a #5 LSU seems like a strong candidate.

Don't forget the 2005 College World Series as well as the BCS championship game. Texas is on a serious roll. But no, it's never been done before.

Ohio State has a good returning team.  USC and Texas will be right in the mix as well, with strong recruiting classes.  An early season game between Texas and Ohio State at Texas could decide early which one of those two teams makes it to the BCS championship game.  Look out for Florida, though, in the second year of Urban Meyer's leadership.  Chirs Leak is a senior and potential Heisman winner.  Same with Oklahoma looking to bounce back with Adrian Peterson.  At this point, I'd have to go with USC still.

texas has over 100 players on there roster (icluding redshirts) so they have to have a deffensive number 4\n(#4 Drew Kelson LB 6-2 215 SO)  \nand an offensive number 4\n(#4 Limas Sweed WR 6-5 219 SO)  \n\nJ.R. is trying to be fancy and doesnt know what hes talkin about\n\nps: theres 2 #10's

SEC team and Big XII team

I'm a huge Florida fan so I am biased. Just to get that out of the way.\n\nI strongly believe Florida deserves more respect then they get, but I think this year is all about the BIG 10. The truth of the matter is the SEC is PACKED full of talent, and the teams there beat the crap out of each other. So rarely does any one team make it out of the division without some sort of blemish.\n\nHow a person can say Florida looked anything but great this past Saturday is beyond me.  Just look at Florida States rushing yards! Also understand Florida State is 10th in the nation for defense. Take that into account and that Florida is at FL ST., then take away two key players to their offense(Wynn & Harvin). Show me another team that could play without their two KEY players and win. OSU w/out Troy Smith? Ark w/out McFadden? USC w/out Booty and Jarrett? All of them wouldn't last against Florida State with out their KEY players.\n\nI had posted a question earlier titled "BCS a bunch of crock?" and it touches on the whole USC thing, and it's pretty sad and upsetting when you look at it.
