Outside of those games, who have they beat? South Carolina by 7? MSU by 10? Auburn (now looking very suspect) by 5? If Jeff didn't put them in his Top 25, I had left them out and they wouldn't have been in our poll this week ... and <A HREF="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Blog-Pollin-Welcome-to-the-great-divide?urn=ncaaf,118208" REL="nofollow">we wouldn't have been alone.</A><BR/><BR/>Ranking the undefeated non-BCS schools is justified in my opinion. I might agree with you thought that BYU could be unranked given that their wins against BCS conference teams (UCLA and Washington) are looking very suspect at this point.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511919115372205489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-25308863813811749932008-10-29T18:16:00.000-04:002008-10-29T18:16:00.000-04:00way too many non bcs teams ranked... you mean to t...way too many non bcs teams ranked... you mean to tell me Boise, Tulsa, Utah, BYU, and Ball St are better than the likes of LSU, GT, UNC, Oregon?
