USC didn't come to life until the fourth quarter the BCS should move them down and move Florida up....?

Bottom line, USC beat a ranked team, Florida beat up on a cupcake.\n\nUSC should hold at #3, Michigan should still be #2.

Honestly they should but I doubt it would happen. Hopefully UCLA beats them which I think will end up happening.  I am sick of people saying that Florida plays nobody. 1st of all how in the hell can you be an SEC team period and not play anybody, that is just  stupid to even make that statement. Take a look at Florida's Schedules\n\n  Southern Miss W 34-7 \n  Sat, Sep 9 UCF W 42-0  \n  Sat, Sep 16 at (13) Tennessee W 21-20  \n  Sat, Sep 23 Kentucky W 26-7  \n  Sat, Sep 30 Alabama W 28-13  \n  Sat, Oct 7 (9) LSU W 23-10  \n  Sat, Oct 14 at (11) Auburn L 17-27  \n  Sat, Oct 28 Georgia W 21-14  \n  Sat, Nov 4 at Vanderbilt W 25-19   \n  Sat, Nov 11 South Carolina W 17-16  \n  Sat, Nov 18 Western Carolina W 62-0  \n  Sat, Nov 25 at Florida State W 21-14    \n  Sat, Dec 2 (8) Arkansas \n\nThere are 5 ranked teams in the SEC including Florida and Florida would have played all of them after DEC.2 vs. Arkansas\n\nThere are about 8-9 teams that are most likely gonna go to a bowl game depending on if Alabama goes or not.  And if you look at several of the unranked teams in the SEC they have winning records they just got crushed in conference play because the SEC is a tough conference. You have to bring your A game every night or you will lose no matter what team you are. There are 8 teams with winning records and 1 at .500: The conference is so good they cancel each other out. For example georgia is not ranked but they beat Auburn who is ranked #11. Look at the records of the Bowl elgible teams!\n\n SEC EAST\n Florida (4)  7-1  11-1  \n Tennessee (17)  5-3  9-3  \n Georgia  4-4  8-4  \n Kentucky  4-4  7-5  \n South Carolina  3-5  7-5 \n \n SEC WEST\n Arkansas (8)  7-1  10-2  \n LSU (5)  6-2  10-2  \n Auburn (11)  6-2  10-2  \n Alabama  2-6  6-6 \n\nTennessee is #17 and their only losses came against ranked teams in the SEC. And they barely beat Kentuck (17-12) who is not ranked but happens to be in the SEC as well.\n\nSame thing with LSU. They are ranked #5 and their only 2 losses have been both against SEC ranked teams.\n\nLook at South Carolina who is not ranked. All their losses came against SEC teams. Other than the 18-0 loss to Georgia(who is in the SEC and is not ranked) they lossed to Auburn, Tennessee,Arkansas, and Florida(Who are all ranked) by a combined margin of 21 poitns wich is an average of about 5 points. (Less than a TD) This includes a one point loss to #4 Florida. I can go on and on and give you examples of how tough this conference is. You can tell that they acknowledge how tough it is because they have LSU #5 and they have two losses.(To ranked SEC teams) They just are not taking that into consideration with florida because they want to see USC back for the 4th str8 time. Lets Examine USC schedule since people think Florida has not played anybody! Lets see how much more brutal USC's schedule is that Florida if at all.\n\n Sat, Sep 2 at Arkansas W 50-14\n  Sat, Sep 16 (19) Nebraska W 28-10 \n  Sat, Sep 23 at Arizona W 20-3  \n  Sat, Sep 30 at Washington State W 28-22  \n  Sat, Oct 7 Washington W 26-20  \n  Sat, Oct 14 Arizona State W 28-21  \n  Sat, Oct 28 at Oregon State L 31-33 \n  Sat, Nov 4 at Stanford W 42-0 \n  Sat, Nov 11 (21) Oregon W 35-10  \n  Sat, Nov 18 (17) California W 23-9 \n  Sat, Nov 25 (6) Notre Dame W 44-24  \n  Sat, Dec 2 at UCLA 4:30 pm  \n\n\nNow as you see USC did beat four rank teams.\nOregon, California, Notre Dame and Nebraska. They loss to an unranked team in their conference! Oregon state is not ranked. I am not saying they are not good their record is 6-3 in conference and 8-4 overall but the point is that they were never ranked this entire season. Cant say its timing because Florida lost the week before USC did. Now take a look at the PAC 10 (every team)\n                          \n\n                           C    (Overall)\n  \n USC (2)            7-1  10-1  \n California (21)  6-2  8-3  \n Oregon State   6-3  8-4  \n UCLA                4-4  6-5  \n Oregon             4-5  7-

The 2 schools must play again-unless it's a 14 point margin of defeat. Look The Buckeyes or Wolverines will absolutely murder any other school in the National Title game. Rutgers???? Are you kidding me--a 24 point loss to either. Florida would get slaughtered--USC may score 3 times...maybe. If one is a field goal. These teams are elite---they are Filet Mignon-the rest of the top 10 is Bologna.

First of all..those of you that think USC is gonna fall no NOTHING about College ball. Carroll and crew have brought in the 3RD straight #1 class of freshman and a QB(John David Booty) that can do the job. Also the Pac-10 is SUPER-SOFT. Anywho Notre Dame has the most hurdles Michigan, AT USC, a VERY good Purdue team and some other things that could trip them up. From what my crystal ball sees..The 'canes will have a Mountain of problems again this year..sorry no ACC crown for you and Texas will take the BIGGEST dive, let's face it Vince Young WAS Texas and without him USC would have lifted ANOTHER crystal football. Also for Texas..guess what OKLAHOMA has returned!! and unless there wounded will beat up on the 'horns in the red river shoot-out. Alabama..well in the SEC you never can tell...Auburn,LSU and Georgia(my boys) are all reloading and Ole miss and Miss. St. are trying to put teams together, toss So.Carolina,Tennesse and Florida into that and you have one helluva conference. 'Bama will be good enough to in the SEC West but not Good enough to Beat the Gators for the big prize..but, if Georgia's Defense does what it can Florida may not be in that game..??? We shall see. But either Texas or Miami(Fla.) will be the biggest disappointment..no doubt. USC..will finish Top 5, Love'em or Hate'em they are a power and that's that!!\n\n The Dr.

I think they should be, but I am a Florida fan. \n\nThe only reason Florida sits at number 4 (not counting the game they gave away to Auburn) is their inability to put points on the board. However, they always score when necessary and they have made more crunchtime plays to pull off close wins angainst tough SEC competition than any other team in the nation.\n\nI will add that these unranked teams that Florida has had close games with would most likely be ranked in some of the lesser conferences. It is easy for a good team to rack up losses in the SEC (look at Georgia, LSU, Auburn, and even South Carolina). Don't Forget the SEC has 3 top 10 teams. \n\nWith all that said, although I like Urban Meyer, I think he should have made a better effort to score points.  The BCS is flawed, everyone knew it, and everone knew that Florida needed to put points on the board. Urban Meyer has options he didn't use enough, Deshawn Wynn for starters. An established power running game instead of trick wide reciever over plays,  would have added a little stability to the Florida offense. \n\nAlso, I love Tebow, but don't rotate QB's so much. Chris Leak is too often coming back into the game on 3rd and long situations. Tebow will be a great quarterback next year and is definately a great option this year on 3rd and short, but this year should be Leak's. \n\nMy answer is yes, Florida should be there (considering they win another tough game this Saturday), but they could have done things slightly differently to ensure a better chance.

florida's schedule?  c'mon now.\n\nsouthern miss, UCF, kentucky, vanderbilt, and west carolina?  are you kidding me?  two conference USA opponents and a divison 2 opponent?  get real.  that schedule is WEAK.  and you guys almost lost to unranked south carolina!  auburn, tennessee and LSU are respectable.  okay so you have 3 ranked teams on your schedule.\n\nUSC has arkansas, nebraska, oregon, cal, and notre dame which makes 5.  \n\njust sounds like sour grapes to me!

As a good coach he should!  This is the National Championship game that he was asked about. \nEvery year this happens with the BCS rating system, there are teams that should be rated higher and are not.\nNCAA football needs a bracket system... how about using what NCAA basketball uses??\nGO GATORS!!!

USC!!!  I would think momentum is on USC's side.  USC is starting to be comfortable with the 3-4 defense that was newly introduced this year.  Now that the defense has adjusted, this year's defense is not only as strong as last year's defense but quicker with the availability of 4 linebackers as opposed to 3 linebackers in years past.  That being said, let's not overlook UCLA.  I don't expect USC to lose, but let's exercise at least a little caution.  FIGHT ON!

USC if they beat Cal.  If not USC then Florida.

This is sure showing that the BCS rankings need some work to get the top colleges to play the national champ game.... and it is showing that a playoff system might be the best way to go... I do not know how that will work (top 8 teams in playoffs perhaps?), but you are right something needs to be done...

Better question....Why the heck is Notre Dame even being considered? Army, Navy, Air Force...are you kidding me? Their schedule was a joke and look what happened in the Michigan State game. I am in Ohio and I am a HUGE Ohio State fan. I do not want a repeat in the title game of Mich-OSU, but who else can beat Michigan? I love Boise State and have for a couple of years. They have won me lots of money!!! They have the most exciting offense in the country, but their schedule lacks strength also. I hate Mich, but I think they would tear up Boise. Lets see what happens with USC first.

Even if USC loses to UCLA,  Michigan should get another shot at Ohio State because they are a better team than Florida , but if everything plays out like it should Florida might play Michigan in a Bowl Game and Florida will get spanked !!! Oh Well !! \n\n GO BUCKEYES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it should still be Michigan. They played the #1 team down to the wire. USC lost to a lesser team, so they shouldn't be given a shot over Michigan.
876477
I would have to agree.  They have just an average QB..average RB...just because they made the BCS championship 2 years in a row they got a high preseason ranking and didnt play anybody tough..Unlike rutgers who has the same record as USC they cant make it because they werent thought of before their win over louisville.  Rutgers would deserve just as much a chance as USC.  Just because Rutgers wasnt a football school they didnt want to rank rutgers very high.

Larry Coker, and the problem is recruiting QBs and other skilled personnell FSU is in a recruiting hot bed yet when the schools around them do better like winning a title, they lose points when almost all the schools in Florida, and the SEC are down there recruiting kids have a ton of choices and they will go where they want to go.

Sounds good to me. Or to appease the NCAA buttheads that created the BCS, use the BCS to rank teams based on their record against strength of schedule. This way, only the best of the best make the playoff and the other bowls wouldn't be screwed out of their tie-ins with the conferences unless those tie-ins belonged to teams who finished in the top 16.

I understand what you're saying about\nUSC being ahead of FL in the BCS\nbut like someone else said.. the winning score\nisn't as impressive as they should be for UF.\nHowever, if USC wins out, their schedule\nwill really help them out.\n\nFL will make it to the nat title game if\nthe Ohio St vs Michigan game is a blowout win\nand if USC loses against Cal, ND, or UCLA.\n\nAs for someone arguing about Notre Dame,\nyes their loss was to Michigan but look at the\nteams they had a hard time beating...\nMichigan State and UCLA??\n\nNot to mention the whole 2nd\nhalf of their schedule this year\n(minus USC which is last)
