Re: 1st BCS poll is out
I'm happy : )
Although I think it kind of sucks that (if FL and AL stay undefeated), either team has to play two national championships to win it all...since we will play each other in the SEC championship, and then #3 in the title game. That's a tough road to go down. But I guess that would make for an undisputed Champ.
Unless Cincinnati or Boise St. can sneak their way in! Although, I'm pro-playoffs, so anything to cause controversy. I'm rooting for Florida, though. Much rather see y'all there than the red, wet elephants.
My Bio
Eh, it worked out fine last year. And, our beating two #1 teams in a row tends to quiet the haters...temporarily, at least.
It just makes me cringe to see Kansas on there, but that's just because I am a Mizzou fan.
USC is overrated, IMO. I think Iowa should be higher because they have played/beaten some good teams.
And what about Alabama jumping Florida in the AP poll?? Not that much matters besides the BSC anymore, but still...crazy.
LSU is my team....but man, our boys suck this year. plain and simple.
and i really hate to see Alabama being that good....since us Tigers are all Saban Haters.
as for Florida, yes, they are good, but we were all hoping he would get sacked hard and get re-injured (i know, we are going to hell for that) at the game against LSU. but, oh well.
Klassy.
Florida struggled this week and Bama didn't. I called it during our game. It kind of sucks, but as long as we keep winning, we're ok.
absolutely.... this is Gator Hater Country over here.
I can't believe Cincy is ranked so high. They've played who Oregon St and USF!
Yeah Arizona!!!
I was shocked as were most of my friends from college...but I'll take it. It will be interesting to see what happens in the PAC this year.
Yay Jackets

That would be wild, but at least it's a valid scenario!
Crazier things have happened.
Bama did struggle. The score was 13-6 until a fluke TD late in the 4th.
That being said, the AP Poll is practically meaningless. I'm not bothered / concerned by it, so much as by our struggles on offense.
Eh, I hate UGaly / the Criminoles with plenty of passion, but that doesn't mean I'll be wishing brain trauma on their players. To each her own, though.
Sorry but there is. We had only a 10 point loss to Iowa and we beat Oregon State who had a 10 point loss to Cinci. Both teams are ranked 5 and 6. Our record is 4-2 (but should be 5-1...the ball hit the ground and those refs should be suspended).
Welcome to BCS rankings.
I was being sarcastic.....obviously you didn't get that.
::still wondering why one would spell the word "classy" wrong on purpose. To each her own, I guess.
This Georgia fan thinks Gator_Mrs. needs to get a thicker skin if she can't handle what was pretty tame SEC ribbing. Especially since most non-Gators in the SEC were not upset about Tebow's injury, to put it mildly.
Classy is sometimes spelled with a K to denote behavior that is anything but classy. It's also used sarcastically. I'm sure you didn't mean it seriously about Tebow's injury. When UF lost at Bama a few years ago, I was pissed that Prothro didn't break his leg in half earlier in the game . . . I mean, if it was gonna happen, why not happen at a more opportune time for us : )
I can "handle it" perfectly fine, TYVM. Just calling it as I see it.
ETA: BUT I admit that I saw it wrong in this case. I completely overlooked tigerfan's sarcasm -- mea culpa.
Did you see her "worst night of my life" post the night that Tebow got hurt? I read it a few times to see if she was his sister or something.
Yea Alabama's passing game sucked but the rush was on fire. Combine that with the fact that we beat Arkansas much more handily than Florida did and I'm not surprised we leapfrogged them in the AP.
It will all come out in the wash in December.
