Captain Compete saves USC practice

Tremendous game, that TT/UT game. Having that on in the same room made it all worth staying home on a Saturday night to put a vacation scrapbook together.
I heard some commentators at around 7PM on Saturday saying, "who the hell is voting in these polls?" Then they gave several examples, like "Who in their right mind would consider West Virginia an underdog to #25 Uconn?" or "Who here didn't think that Georgia Tech would probably beat #15 FSU?" Valid.

I think thats a valid point but it doesnt matter. Even if they put PSU at 2 and TT at 3 this week it would make no difference. Because if TT wins their next games, even if they were 3 and PSU 2 this week they would move ahead of them anyway. (after the next 2 wins) And if they lose one of these games then they will fall back below them. So in 2 more weeks it will be worked out one way or the other.
Penn State should be #2. But has anybody taken a look at these teams OOC schedules? It's like the media simply does not care who these teams play out of conference. Tech should not be #2 just because they beat Texas. How about rewarding them AFTER they beat Oklahoma State and Oklahoma? No way should they have jumped that far with just one quality win, and a bunch of other wins against teams like Southern Methodist and Eastern Washington.
The Big 12 has caught on, probably from watching the SEC do it for all these years. Schedule D-1AA teams, fill the schedule with cupcakes, go into conference play undefeated and ranked, "beat each other up" and "survive" the 'brutal' schedule, win the conference, get the automatic bid into the title game, once an unmotivated undefeated USC team stumbles against a middle of the road, or worst, Pac-10 team. Then beat the shit out of the Big Ten Champion in BCS title game.
We're headed towards a Florida/Penn State National Championship. I can feel it. I don't see Tech beating Oklahoma. Florida will jump whichever one loss team wins the Big10, once they beat the worst #1 team in ages, Alabama.
On a side note; The only way USC makes it to the title game is if Missouri wins the Big 12 and Penn State loses. The former happens if Missouri plays Tech in the Big12 Championship game, the latter does not happen.
I hope it does though, that means we probably play Florida in the title game. That is my dream match-up.
BCS championship game doesn't really matter to me, I know it's a longshot. But I REALLY want to see USC play Florida. Florida has that great offense, USC has the best defense I have ever seen. Would be a good game to watch.
If you're a USC fan.
