LSU is #6 in the Harris poll too. http://www.harrisinteractive.com/vault/BCS_Nov_14_2010.pdf 1. Oregon (65) 2788 2. Auburn (35) 2733 3. Boise State (11) 2591 4. TCU (3) 2583 5. Wisconsin 2268 6. LSU 2241 7. Ohio State 2142 8. Stanford 2118 9. Nebraska 1971 10. Michigan State 1753 11. Alabama 1693 12. Oklahoma State 1657 Wisconsin picked up 18 votes on us.
I know it hurt us that fl lost. The bright side of it is that it was the mighty fl tators and the genius cum. They ain't all that without superman tebow and cum ain't the football god that the media made him out to be.
Yeh, but had UF won, it would have helped us, and had UNC won we might have jumped someone. Since neither happened it let Wisconsin gain on us, and pass us in some of the polls. We are down to having to watch what everyone else who is connected to us thru 6 degrees of seperation, hoping for the perfect outcome if we are to try to get to the BCSNCG. It ain't gonna happen, but one can hope. But yeh, if it doesn't happen UF losing was sweet.
Let me ask you all this.... Had Alabama beaten us, do you think Wisconsin, Stanford, and Nebraska would be close in the polls to Alabama? Answer, Hell No.
The only reason they are ranked as high as they are is because they are Bama and the reigning National Champs. With 2 losses they would be ranked lower if not for those 2 facts.
Also, Oregon wins by 2 points over Cal, who has 5 wins this season, does Oregon get crushed in the media? LSU beats Tennessee and LSU gets crushed because it happened on a last play funny business situation. Tennessee plays Vandy and Kentucky, and has a chance to finish at .500, Cal plays Stanford and Washington and has a chance to finish at .500. The fact of the matter and people can say this isn't true all they want, LSU gets hurt in the polls by the humans because they think Les Miles is a bumbling retard that gets lucky, and the way they vote reflects that. Hell if Alabama were a 1 loss team right now, I bet they would have jumped either TCU or Boise or possibly both this past weekend.
Here's an interesting fun read... The Bleacher report, in reviewing the top 12 BCS teams says that LSU is underrated at #5 having a great defense and being battle tested. Goes on say that Auburn is also overrated, "you get what you pay for." Here's the link... BCS Rankings Week 12: Who's Overrated and Underrated in Latest BCS Poll? | Bleacher Report
