alright we BEAT auburn AND they have one more loss than us

and we would manhandle BYU, Boise, Boston College, and Air Force

and im pretty sure we could beat Texas Tech, Michigan, and Kentucky who also have one more loss than us

[RespectaBULL]

this is ******** because Michigan, Kentucky, Air force, and Cinci all don't deserve to be ahead of us.  When we lost 3 games we lost all our votes, How come Cinci is still getting them?  Because they beat us by a blocked punt?  This is ********.  Why would Kentucky not get knocked off the map after losing their 4th game???  Same goes for Michigan.  This is ********.  The team we saw last night could play and win against any team in the top 25 right now.  Screw the coaches.

[smazza]

********.

why?

usf lost 3 straight to teams usf was favorite to beat

those new to college football need to know finishing strong is important

losing 3 straight isnt finishing strong

[MechanicalBull]

I'll say it agian, this is the most bias of all the polls. 

1.Votes are by coaches who have incentive to see their conferences to well. 

2. The votes are not distrbuted evenly between conference

3.  Ballots are kept private

Is it any surprise that the big conference with significanly more votes are ahead of us.

Michigan being ahead of us is a joke.  Same for Kentucky.

Fortunately, the computers play a part in the BCS

[CyberBull]

Coaches polls seem to always be a week behind the times. We'll get in next week if we beat Pitty convincingly.

With that said, the fact that UCiF is anywhere close to us in the rankings after beating up on the sisters of the poor of C-DOA tells you what a bunch of crap the coaches poll really are. Seriously.....USF would score a 100 on the Tinmen right now b/c the offense and defense are just that much better...and everyone is healthy.

Wake smazza you are two weeks behind we have won 2 in a row in convincing fashion.

There are plenty of teams in the polls that have lost to dogs.

This year has proven that no conference game is a easy win.
