wisconsin is very good and very dangerous, i wouldn't want to face them. i think they could beat most of the teams ahead of them.
BCS will have no answers for questions ahead.
For those who enjoy BCS chaos, the fun starts now.
Southern California's loss to Oregon State was the first and most significant step toward giving the Bowl Championship Series an impossible task of putting together a title game that will satisfy everybody.
The Beavers' 33-31 upset Saturday had fans of highly ranked one-loss teams rejoicing from Gainesville, Fla., to Berkeley, Calif.
Don't get too down, Trojans. While you gave up control of your destiny in the championship race, you're not out of it either.
When the BCS standings came out Sunday Ohio State and Michigan were still on top. It hardly mattered that West Virginia was slightly ahead of Florida in third place, with Louisville and Auburn also close behind. The issue is a long way from being settled. In fact, it probably won't ever get settled.
After Saturday, there were six unbeaten teams in Division I-A. Only three of those teams can end the regular season undefeated: The Ohio State-Michigan winner; one of three Big East teams and Boise State if the Broncos can run the Western Athletic Conference.
There's no question about whether an unbeaten Ohio State or Michigan deserves a spot in the title game on Jan. 8. The one that wins out is going to Glendale, Ariz.
That second spot is going to be up for much debate, and there will be more than one right answer.
The best-case scenario for the BCS now - if you want to call it that - is for West Virginia, or Louisville to remain perfect and lay claim to the second spot in the title game. But that's not going to go over well with those who don't think much of the Big East.
The Big East is no longer the Big Least. It's better at the top than the Atlantic Coast Conference. But check out Florida's schedule and try making a case that if the Gators finish 12-1 and are champions of the toughest conference in the nation they don't deserve to play for the national title, even ahead of an unbeaten Big East winner.
OK, so let's put the Gators in there against Ohio State or Michigan - and then go tell West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez or Louisville's Bobby Petrino, "Sorry, your perfect record isn't perfect enough."

wasn't it 13-7 at halftime against cincinnati for your buckeyes? really took it to a much lesser team, eh?OSUDauby said:Yeah, so dangerous that they squeeked by this past weekend while playing at home.

Ohio State will lose to Michigan
****y much?Whitner20 said:hahaha....really. How? It would take a collapse of epic proportions for that to happen...
Henne's just not that good, hart won't survive his 35 carries against OSU's DL, Manningham won't be 100%, Arrington will be in jail, and Lloyd Carr will still be Jim Tressels property.
If there is a team that should be #2 its Michigan..... but that doesn't mean that anyone can play with the buckeyes either.
Mark May said:In my opinion, the one-loss team with the best shot at playing for the national title is Florida. Not only are the Gators one of the more talented teams with one loss, but they have the best schedule for making the run. They should win the rest of their regular-season games, and the SEC Championship gives them a chance to beat a quality opponent on the final day with all voters watching.

If only every post could be so objective.
