BCS
USC is 13th in each of the BCS components (Harris Interactive, USA Today Coaches, and computers), but 11th overall in the overall rankings. The reason is that some teams ranked above them in the human polls aren't getting similar love from the computers (i.e., Texas, Hawaii).
Easy to see why TX is lacking in the computer rankings. TX lost to K-state by 20...and recall K-state gave up 73 points to Nebraska. 3 of TX's victories were by 3 points each over the following powerhouses: Central Fla, Nebraska and Ok State.
If Hawaii beats Boise St, they will look better than TX.
Of course Texas shouldn't even be as high as they are, but a certain beat writer from a certain area of California is over valuing the Longhorns even more than the rest of his writing community. Now who could that be... oh yeah, it's Poll Speak's very own "worst voter of the week". You know him... you love him (or not)... Scotty Wolf. Apparently Scotty thinks Texas still has Vince Young, Michael Huff, and others still on the squad.
Baffling to say the least.
BCS computers aren't allowed to take into account margin of victory.
Does anyone else feel torn about pulling for Norm Chow and LenDale White when it means Vince Young gets a victory?

Buy a Titan Tix, go to game, and see if you mind a Vince Young victory
