Trojans vs Irish

[Dback Jon]

I am quite serious. After Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin the bottom falls out of that conference.

Wake Forest, BC, Va Tech, Ga Tec, Clemson are all good temas. Not great, but good. I would put FSU, Miami, Virginia and N Car. State against Illinois. Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa and take my chances.

Purdue, Iowa are good teams. Illinois sucks, granted. NCSU couldn't even beat ECU. FSU, Miami and Virginia are not good teams this year.

And the top three in the Big Ten would beat any ACC team by 15, easy.

Iowa lost 4 out of the last 5 games. That is not good. Their wins came against Montana,Syracuse, Illinois, Iowa State, Purdue and Northern Illinois. 6-6.

Purdue got 3 wins against Indiana State ( 1-10 ), Miami Ohio ( 2-10 ), Ball State ( 5-7 ), and ended up 8-4.

That does not make them, necessarily ,good teams. The Big 10 mdoes notoriously poorly in Bowl games. The ACC does quite well, historically.

I think the interesting thing out of this game was that USC vaulted Michigan by winning and I'm still not sure why even though as a fan, I'd prefer to see USC rather than a rematch OSU and Michigan.

Michigan and USC both beat Notre Dame, Michigan beat them by 26, USC by 20. Michigan dominated ND more than USC did, and Michigan beat ND AT ND, while USC won on their home turf.

So I'm still a bit puzzled what pushed them over Michigan, but as I said, I'm glad it happened I didn't want to see a rematch.

That is your answer. Voters were looking for a team with a performance to avoid the rematch.

Look at their respective schedules. If USC beats UCLA this weekend they have more of a case than any other one loss team, especially if Arkansas and Nebraska find ways to win this weekend.

Uggghhhhhh... Why can't College Football develop a viable playoff format??
Ohio St will not have played for 7 weeks when it finally plays in the BCS Championship! Reading the posts on this thread is like getting stuck in a revolving door... Going nowhere, and feeling as though you've seen or heard the same thing, over and over again...
NCAA got it right in basketball... It's time now to get it right in Football...
How do we know if USC is better than Michigan or Florida?
A playoff format would remove all of these questions... C'mon NCAA - GET IT RIGHT!

College Football in Division I HAS a playoff - Appalachian State won it last year!!!

I remember seeing a story around draft time about how the ACC has snuck up on the SEC in total picks and first rounders. In fact, since Miami joined the conference they've produced more picks than any other conference. And, they've been well represented at the top of the draft---Rivers, Williams, Ferguson and have maybe the #1 pick this year.

I, personally, would rate the ACC stronger overall than the Big 10 when you go top to bottom.
