Chris Fowler quote I wrestled awhile with my AP ballot after Saturday's games. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. I sat there after midnight, ranked teams four through 25 and left the top three slots blank. Finally, I slid Oklahoma in third. As great as they'd been for 12 games, it just felt wrong to rank the Sooners ahead of LSU or USC, off their respective performances Saturday. I wrestled a bit longer before ranking USC first, LSU second. Separating these two is very tough. My reasoning was that USC was "closer" to being perfect, having lost at Cal in triple overtime, with a missed chip-shot field goal figuring prominently. Had they escaped the OT, no one would have had an issue. LSU lost to Florida (which is better than Cal), but it was at home, by a dozen points. ..................................................................................................... According to these people the loss is all that matters................... Nevermind LSU beat a top 5 Georgia team twice, nevermind we won the SEC CG, nevermind the SEC suppose to be above pack 10 in Rankings or maybe strongest conference in America. Nevermind LSU beat an undefeated top 25 team and a Heisman candidate. He goes on and blames the bcs for this..................:dis: Dude, Its not the losses that counts but the wins. and win against a quality opponent vs usc's cupcakes usc beat 1 top 25 team this year and didn't play anyone else. The top 4 teams in the SEC would've had the same record or better than usc if they played usc's schedule.
