Who's No. 1?
With the BCS title game tomorrow, a reporter from the Baton Rouge Advocate asked the AP voters the following questions:
1. Are you likely to vote someone other than the BCS championship game winner No. 1 in your final poll?
2. Does your vote depend on whether the winner is LSU or Ohio State?
3. Is the team that gets your No. 1 vote the best team, the most deserving, or both?
I can definitely answer yes to the first question, because at this point I'm not sure Ohio State or LSU present a better case than Georgia or USC. Ohio State played a horrible schedule, so maybe it's a three-team race for No. 1 (LSU, Georgia, USC) going into the game and if Ohio State wins, they still leave the door open for USC and Georgia.
glad to see you've come 2 ur senses Scotty...
Yeah, right, Wolfe. You've already mailed in your No. 1 vote for West Virginia
Unless the BCS Championship is lopsided one way on the other, I just hope that the voters as a group will settle on either USC or Georgia for the AP #1. It's the only way we'll ever get the administrators' attention and get a playoff system that preserves the tradition of bowl games but sorts out the championship on the field.
HOW DO YOU DO?
Having said all this, you then give your AP vote to Georgia OVER USC--why?
Yet you ranked 4-loss Illinois OVER 1 loss Hawaii.
So USC's win over Illinois better than Georgia's win over Hawaii,
YET you rank Georgia #1 over LSU (Georgia did NOT even win its conference) and USC only #3??
Weird!
