VtBowhunter Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 There is absolutely NO WAY that USC should still be #1 over Texas after barely escaping from Notre Dame with a cheap win.........That's right I said CHEAP. Bush shoved Leinart across the line and in College ball that's illegal. What do y'all think. My opinion is that the folks involved with the polls are to scared to call it the way it should be just because USC is on a winning streak.

Guest Andrea Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls YEAH!!!!!!!!! And FSU shouldn't have fallen THAT far down the line EITHER!!! ( Just kidding....I'm surprised they're still IN the dang polls after that disgusting display. Polls are stupid. Always thought there should be play- offs too instead of a thousand different bowl games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls i thin kthey should be #1...they won the national title last year and a share of it the year before and haven't lost ion 20 somethin games...until someone beats them i think they deserve to be at the top of the rankings....a win is a win.....no matter how it is done...the officials didn't see or call that penalty...its not USCs fault...its the refs......i like the polls....the only thing i don't like is the way they do the championship game....i think the top 4 teams in the BCS standings should have a playoff (1 vs. 4 at #4's home field and 2 vs. 3 at 3s home field) before the bowl games start..and the winners of each game play in the national championship bowl...and the 2 losers play in another BCS bowl and keep the other bowls games....

I think they deserve to be up top until someone beats them. Which hasnt happened in a long time. Sure USC didnt win in great passion, but they still won.

buckbuster11 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls I disagree. That was one of the best teams in the country that USC just beat on their homefield. There is nothing Texas has done that shows they are better then USC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls Folks, wins are only a psrt of rankings for teams. The rest of the equation is how well the teams play and how close the margin of victory is.........not to mention turn-over ratios and such. I know they're a good team, but with the system set as it is, there's NO way they should be #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls I'm a Big 12 supporter. If you ask me, Texas could probably beat USC heads up. But I don't think Texas should be ranked ahead of them right now. The only thing that should knock USC out of number one is a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers don't mean a thing if they are playing a second or third rate team. UT has a couple of high scoring games also, but they are against smaller colleges that don't really show anything. The games against the ranked or generally strong teams shows a lot more about a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James7xChamp3 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls USC is the top dog until they get beat. No other way around it. They are an incredible well coached team. They always find a way to win and usually in a dominant way. ND almost got it done. Texas maybe could also. I'd love to see that game happen! ND and Texas would be a good one also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robk Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls to be honest i think the polls and the ranking should not exist until half way thru the season or when they come to their last 2 to 3 games and only have one poll not a bcs then coaches poll and the writers poll. there should be one poll and that should be the end of it and i think it should be people who have no ties tot he different teams and go y strength of schedule and wins and then have the poll come out with more than one or two games but more like the whole season or in this case if there are 12 games and they have to all be 12 games or 11 games or 10 games. once everythign is in at the end of the season which should end with in 2 weeks of all other schools then the final polls will come out and then the top which ever will be invited to play like a of 25 witht he top choice getting a bye the first week then have the national title game for the two who finihs out of the top 25 teams and the winner is one with no losses rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultratec1 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls To start off I was devastated when ND lost to USC. I'm a die hard Irish fan and was on my toes the whole game. If there was one game that I would have loved to see USC lose that would have been it. HOWEVER USC is undefeated in the last 22 games, national champs, heisman trophy winning quarterback and possibly the heisman winning running back. Their offense dominates and defense devastates. USC should be in the #1 spot. I got a great idea lets make USC and Texas play more 10 games, that should end the streaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Chief Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls What exactly do the last couple years have to do with this years poll? Those years are done and gone and should have no bearing on this year. Just goes to show the thinking of pollsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nuhf Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: College A.P. Polls usc does not play anyone worth a crap. Put them in the SEC OR BIG 10 and see how good they are after playing tough teams week in and week out. i will admit it that they are good, but when you only play one decent team every 3 or 4 weeks you do not banged up and as tired so it makes it easier for them. i will say they could beat anyone in the nation but it is a consitstantly tough schedule that would beat them and that is something they do not do.(N.D., UCLA which is a suprise in its own right, maybe cal) and that is it. i would take that schedule any year.
