The JC NCAA Football Top 15 - Your picks

heels and I discussed this in the JCC NCCA Football thread, but heres the idea: Post who you think should be the top 15 in the country each week (we can do 25, but its usually easier to just do 15) and on Saturday morning (or late Friday night) I'll compile them all together and create a top 15/25 based on everyone's individual polls, which is the same way the actual polls work.

For starters, mine, as previously posted in the JCC:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Florida
4. Notre Dame
5. Arkansas
6. Southern Cal
7. LSU
8. Rutgers
9. West Virginia
10. Wisconsin
11. Louisville
12. Texas
13. Wake Forest
14. Auburn
15. Boise State

 

I'm assuming LSU will win that one.

...and they pull out a win in OT. That game shouldn't have been close.

Mine, not much change, especially since I'm not dropping UM for that close loss to OSU, because I think they're still better than anyone else out there:


1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Florida
4. Notre Dame
5. Arkansas
6. Southern Cal
7. Wisconsin
8. LSU
9. West Virginia
10. Louisville
11. Texas
12. Auburn
13. Boise State
14. Rutgers
15. Georgia Tech
16. Boston College
17. Oklahoma
18. Virginia Tech

Ok, so thats 18, not 15, but still, its as many as I feel like ranking right now.

 

1. Ohio State
2. USC
3. Michigan
4. Notre Dame
5. Florida
6. Arkansas
7. Wisconsin
8. LSU



That is what I think the BCS will say tomorrow. It's also what it should say. I don't care who you are, you lose a game and you should drop. ND lost to the number two team in the nation and we dropped from two to twelve and wallowed there for weeks. It's unfair to USC to punish them for winning their game against a tough Cal opponent when Michigan lost their game, even to the number one.


Cal wasn't a pushover, USC may not have looked like world beaters but Cal has some serious offensive weapons that they did manage to contain all night.

 

Take into account the human polls which are two thirds of the BCS equation. When OSU beat Texas, did they stay at number two in the human polls?


Add into the fact that the media has a love affair with USC and it's a done deal. The computer polls also do not take margin of victory into account, Michigan may as well have lost that game 100-3 and it wouldn't make a difference.


Just the way I see it...

 

And Michigan does remain at #2 in the BCS, but only barely - they'll need a SoCal loss at least for a rematch.

 

So, what is the actual rankings right now?

O-H-I-O!

 

After the USC victory over Notre Dame, here goes mine. USC should be #2, but I still think that Michigan is the better team.

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. USC
4. Florida
5. LSU
6. Wisconsin
7. Notre Dame
8. Louisville
9. Wake Forest
10. Oklahoma
11. Boise State
12. Arkansas
13. Auburn
14. Virginia Tech
15. Texas
