Week 1 AP Top 25

[milohimself]

But not straightened out yet... I believe Tennessee is in third place, but ESPN is the only place to have it posted and it's kind of goofy right now. I'll post it, and the votes afterwards.

USC got 60 of 65 first place votes, Texas got 4 and Louisville got 1.

More to come when ESPN fixes that crap.

louisville got picked because the voter said thats the only team that he can conceive going undefeated. how usc is unanimous without getting all the votes, i dont know.

Quote by the guy who picked Louisville #1:

Joe Giglio of The News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C., voted Louisville No. 1 after examining the schedules for all BCS conference teams. The Cardinals moved to the Big East this season.

"Louisville was the only one that I came up with as going undefeated," he said.

Boy, really going out on a limb w/ that one. The play in the Big East. :disappointed:

Yeah... Well, they are overwhelming number one.

The Louisville thing might be pretty interesting. This could be the year where the Big East finally loses it's cred -- Louisville goes undefeated but does not make the Rose Bowl.

Make it so! Please make it so

Seriously... It is bad enough to the point where a person could legitimately claim that the freakin' Mountain West might be stronger than the Big East. Time to reexamine things, BCS.

I don't know, Louisville opens up with Kentucky. Then they have to play Oregon St. I think with a schedule like that it could be very difficult to go undefeated. :lol:

What a retard. Then by that logic he thinks that USC, UT & UT are not as good as Louisville? If his thinking were common place, everyone would schedule vandy like programs to go undefeated - does this guy understand the concept of strength of schedule? Moron.

Florida=OVER RATED

 

[GAVol]

No doubt . . . They get a free pass into the top 10 every year. How in the world do you justify Florida with their 5 losses a year and a coaching change being in the top 10 while a team like Iowa that wins 10 games every year is on the outside looking in?

Florida gets in the top 10 each year, simply because they're Florida....If not for Spurrier, for the past few years Florida wouldn't even be a thought in the top 10....Oh well, we'll see how over rated they are when it comes game time

 

[OWB]

Yeah, but UM is gonna lead them to the promised land blah blah blah.

 

[volmanjr]

I wish they were ranked higher, makes us look better when we hand them thier a**
