If LSU had a proper QB they'd be a team. Even Les couldn't stop them winning.
USC are better than the Bruins. Don't let those wins over Houston and Texas (I mean, Iowa State anyone?) fool you. They leak plenty of points and don't score many. Last couple of weeks they've been appalling. Cal beat them easily and SC destroyed Cal.
It's SC's defence that has cost them. They've lost twice, both by less than a FG and both times giving up over 30 points. And they've won twice whilst giving up over 20 points. They average over 37 points themselves, but can't keep people out of their EZ. If their front four can't put up effective pass pressure, then decent QBs (see Locker and Luck) have torched their secondary. Teams are averaging almost three bills against them in the air. It's ridiculous. They have a lot of new starters back there, but even Shareece Wright has been rubbish. They looked better against Cal though, really stifled them. So who knows. I suspect USC might struggle against the run. LaMichael James ran all over them in Eugene last year, and the Ducks are killing teams on the run this year. They have three genuine threats with James, Alston and Thomas.
If the Ducks run the schedule and Alabama win all their remaining games, TCU and Boise will get punished by Harris and the coaches. Punished. The whole system is so fraudulent, on a human and systematic level.
Frankly, if TCU get ranked above Boise it's bull****. Boise have won 20 straight games, including wins over Oregon, Oregon State, VA Tech and TCU. They've won 54 of their last 58 games, including two BCS Bowl wins over TCU and Oklahoma. They've beaten Oregon twice in the last three seasons. Baffles me how TCU get ranked above them, even if they beat Utah next week.
And the BCS computers are bull****. Pure and simple. On the computer results alone they rank Oklahoma 5 and Alabama 12. That's retarded. They rank Missouri 2 and Michigan St 3. Hell, they rank Wisconsin over Bama. Developing models that run purely on single year schedules is pointless. You might aswell just have the human polls. Nothing about the system is satisfactiry until they work out some sort of eight team play-off system around the BCS series.
