Yeah, and that loss to NC State was the Dave Wannstedt moment of year he always has. They were winning 31-17, tried to sit on it and blew it. Not to mention Russell Wilson had basically the game of his life. Also, Pitt’s starting middle linebacker Adam Gunn was out for that game, and the True Frosh backing him up had no idea how to spy Wilson or how to cover his zone.

The little red arrow next to Penn State is delicious. Keep ‘em moving.

Just Trying to be Helpful Dept:
#’37 & # 39: The true college football cognoscenti* know that USC-w should not be referred to as “Southern Cal”, unless there is an attempt to slight them…just sayin’…
…Knowing this difference is just one small thang that separates people with good knowledge of college footbaw…as opposed to pretenders (usually from the biased East Coast that do not watch USC games because they are too late in the day and just see the box score the next day).
* I cut ‘n pasted the definition, for those of you from areas of the country with not the greatest of education (—-> looking right at you LSU types):
Co·gno·scen·te (k n y-sh n t, k g n-) n. pl. co·gno·scen·ti (-t) A person with superior, usually specialized knowledge or highly refined taste

“USC does not like to be called “Southern Cal”.
sklm, that’s kind like cheeseburger charlie expecting SKLM to call him Weis.
And speaking of the cheezy one BGS captured that streak of last second wins and losses quite nicely:

Ha!!!
The writers at BGS are some of the best ….and the Cheeseburglar is making their life whacky with so many come from behind wins and difficult losses.

The one loss teams starting at #8 looks about right. Amazing how many folks screw that one up. Boise > Oregon > USC looks good as well.

Well, no matter have refined your tastes are or no matter how vast your superior intellect may be, I’ll take my quality education from LSU and apply said education to my good paying engineering job.

I’m a Clemson fan, and I think the tigers deserved to be ranked, kudos for putting them in there at 21. But as 3 loss teams go, i think you have to have Oklahoma ahead of the Tigers, or at the very least ranked if you’re going to stick Clemson in there.
In fact if i was ranking teams, it would probably look a lot like Sagarin’s predictor ranking, modified slightly, which has Oklahoma at #6 and Clemson at #14 despite 3 losses a piece because of the focus on margin of victory.
I know it’s not a power poll, and you have to respect wins and losses even if they are by a few points, but there’s definitely no more than 5 teams that i’d take over Oklahoma on a neutral field if I’m forced to bet a year’s salary.

TechDan says:
OhioDawg, I fail to see exactly how facts (2-2 vs teams 2-12 in conference) could possibly be wrong, when, by definition, wrong means “not factual.” Besides, you’re hardly impartial on the subject when it comes to GT, especially since we beat the pups last year, and intend on doing so again in just over a month.

@35-
You’re forgetting UNC is awesome at women’s soccer too. They’re usually in the top 5 every year.
How the hell is Pitt at #11? Crazy shit right thar

Pitt ahead of GT is a JOKE!!!! When you lose to NCST and have beaten no one you deserve to sit in a corner (I’m talking all the Big East here). GT would beat the piss outta Wanstache. Then we would take his stash. Johnson would field a bunch of calls about chop blocks and respond by sending people an autographed version of Smiling: The Paul Johnson Way.
Big is is a POS conf. Yep that is coming from an ACC fan. Numbers do not lie they are ahem… crappy.

TechDan – Just guessing that you’re not a Tech grad. I didn’t think Tech would cave to grade inflation. Just kidding.
The facts aren’t right or wrong, it’s the analysis you apply to them. How ’bout this: A team without losses is better than a team with them. Ergo, Cincinnati is better than Tech. Fact? It’s probably too late to hope you’ll see this, but I’d love to see the contorted analysis to keep your earlier premise alive.
Again, when you’re not playing UGa, I’m all for Tech.
