Checking in @ #16 in the BCS. One behind Michigan State, one in front of Wisconsin and two in front of Michigan.
This is a little missleading, this only takes into account the average ranking of the ranked teams. The two conferences with the most ranked teams (B1G and SEC) have 5 each with the lower ranked teams in the B1G pulling down the average. If you figure that the next highest ranked team in the ACC could be no higher than #26 that would bring the average of their top 5 teams down to 17.2. If you figure the BiG XII's top 5 teams with the next highest possible rankings being 26 & 27, that brings their avg. down to 15.4, and using that same concept the highest possible ranking of the top 5 teams in the PAC 12 would be 18.8.ShawnWatson said:A breakdown of conferences in this weeks coaches poll:

That is all true. I was going to further those stats but I had a glue huffing session that in good conscious I just could not miss.This is a little missleading, this only takes into account the average ranking of the ranked teams.

This makes no sense to me. I know the BCS is run by the computers and such, but being one spot behind a team that has the same record as us, that we also beat face to face is a little ridiculous to meChecking in @ #16 in the BCS.

I didn't argue that they shouldn't be ranked above us. I just said it irritated me that we can't play them. That being said, I think we'd win.They played with in 7 points of the number 2 team in the land, we lost to Northwestern. Reality.
