How was LRS on Tyrone?  Did many show up?  Was going to go but my son (also a Bull's fan) had the flu or something.  Watched the game on radio!

BCS standings give Auburn fans hope

By WENDELL BARNHOUSE

Star-Telegram Staff Writer

You can’t blame Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville for being bitter about the Bowl Championship Series system.

Sunday, he said he doubts that a one-loss Southeastern Conference team will ever make it to the BCS title game. After all, his undefeated team got rooked out of playing in the 2004 national championship game.

But Sunday’s first BCS standings for 2006 should give Auburn fans reason to throw a few more rolls of toilet paper on the trees at Toomer’s Corner.

Ohio State  no surprise  is No. 1. Southern California is No. 2. Michigan is No. 3. Auburn is No. 4, the highest-ranked one-loss team.

A week after losing at home to Arkansas, Tuberville’s Tigers bounced back with a 27-17 victory over Florida on Saturday night. And that victory put Auburn in the thick of the BCS race.

Either Ohio State or Michigan, teams that play each other Nov. 18, are guaranteed of at least one loss. Southern California, which has won its last three games by seven or fewer points, faces a fearsome-foursome end of the season  games with Oregon, California, Notre Dame and crosstown rival UCLA.

The curse of playing in the SEC is that there is no mercy. Every game is a challenge. Just ask Georgia, a home-field loser to Vanderbilt. Or ask Alabama, which needed overtime to beat Ole Miss.

The blessing of playing in the SEC is that the six computers smile on the competitive nature of the league. Auburn is No. 4 in the BCS because it’s No. 5 in the computer rankings. The Tigers are No. 7 in the human polls.

West Virginia and Louisville are ahead of Auburn in the human polls. Those undefeated Big East teams play each other Nov. 2, so one will drop.

West Virginia and Louisville both are behind Auburn in the computer rankings. If either finishes undefeated and Auburn finishes 12-1 as SEC champions, the Tigers could be No. 2 in the BCS standings ahead of an undefeated Big East team.

“After going through what we went through two years ago, I’d hate to think that anybody would get left out of playing for a championship after going undefeated,†Tuberville said. “But it’s got to be a legitimate undefeated.â€Â

He’s talking about West Virginia and Louisville. That’s called planting a seed. Tuberville might not have faith in the BCS system, but he knows how to play the game.

What is the purpose of that site?

I can't imagine a game with that much animosity.  Our games with UCF were as intense as they come, but every one was well behaved.  Looked like a lovefest in comparison!

Strock and Coker are gone for sure.

Nice pix.  I love the white jerseys with green pants.

No, /you is far too cool to fall for anything like that!  8-)

Did you hear the official:  Time out Cent... South Florida.  Geesh!

20-7

Is the game not on radio?  The times doesn't list any.

Wow! Pitt takes opening kickoff for a touchdown.

USF

28-14

Thanks for the stats.  It is interesting that WVU outdrew UCF last year, despite all the UCF'ers that made the trek over.

Maybe they should have separate sections for people who stand all the time, people who sit all the time, and people like me who pop up without thinking at every good play or for the defence on third down!

The players shouldn't feel the temperature unless it drops near freezing.

Did anyone notice that during the Rutgers and Uconn games our opponents used water misting fans while we didn't?  

They play Miami and Alabama next!

UAB 2003.  Probably cost a bowl bid.

Beat the Huskies!

HUSKIES

Where the hell in San Marco Texas?

601 University Dr.  ;D

Can the Gramticas spawn any more kids ?

I think they have a sister!

I hope we take them seriously.  Last year they were 4-5, having beaten only Liberty, Army, Syracuse & Buffalo before beating us.  Anything can happen so we better be prepared.

Steve Lurkle is one of USF's biggest fans!  I congratulate him for that.

Actually it was used several months ago after the new board software was installed.  I used the command a few times, as did others.  I expect a resurgence about every few months for a while.  I'm sure /you will have forgotten about it by then!
