OrlandoSentinel: BCS rankings are out; USF is No. 1, UM is last

Yes, the BCS (Bianchi Cognitive Scale) rankings are out and USF ranks No. 1. Here is how we break down the state's five most popular teams.

 

1. USF: The only undefeated team in the state. Enough said. The Bulls got a scare last week against Florida Atlantic and will face another pumped-up in-state rival this week in UCF. With the Big East looking more and more like the Big Easy (what happened to Louisville and Rutgers?), it's not far-fetched to think USF will run the table and play for the national title.

2. Florida: Even though UF has two losses, No. 1-ranked LSU had to convert 5-of-5 fourth downs to beat the Gators in Baton Rouge. Even with two conference losses, UF still has an excellent chance to get back to Atlanta for the SEC title game.

3. Florida State: We'll know more about quarterback Xavier Lee when he goes on the road this week and plays Wake Forest, but right now he has the 'Noles moving up the BCS rankings.

4. UCF: When you give up 52 points to East Carolina, you probably deserve to be last in the rankings, but the Knights are saved from that dubious distinction by ...

5. Miami: The Canes nearly lost to Duke two weeks ago and lost to North Carolina Saturday. Embarrassing. These are probably the two worst teams in the ACC. The Canes need to stop calling themselves The "U" and start referring to themselves as "Pee-Yew."

  And there you have the BCS rankings. Any arguments?

i think "Bianchi Cognitive Scale" (BCS) is a joke.

Wonder if he will be calling us thugs and a renegade program this year?

I think Bianchi is setting us up and then hoping that UCF knocks us off. Then he can write lots of stories about how UCF has been legitimized by beating a top-5/best in Florida team.

Amen, brother.  He is setting up for a win/win.  If we win, he says UCF lost to a legit #5 team and if (by some freak chance) we lose, UCF knocked off the #5 team.  He can't lose.

Why stop at 5? At 4 you're limiting yourself to only the BCS schools but 5 only makes sense for two reasons 1) nice for counting on one hand 2) You can include UCF. Because Let's be Honest FIU should be on the bottom here for D1A.
