ND wouldn't recover from a loss to a barely ranked USC. They'd drop well below the rest of the one loss teams. I'd prefer to see Alabama vs. Oregon but that ain't happening.

If that ends up being the case, this will be the second year in a row I do not watch the NC game.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is all.
(And I'm at ND right now. Was at the game today)

Slim pickings turned into two huge upsets.
Yeah, what a weekend.
Both #1 and #2 fall.
All of a sudden, the Tide is right back in it again.
It wont happen again. Especially with florida not even making conference title.
If they do then the BCS will be done. Every other conference will end their ties with it.
And Stanford didnt win the refs did.
It's shaping up almost identically to the Alabama vs. LSU title game when Bama didn't play in the conference championship game. None of this matters though if ND wins next week.
I'm curious how far they're going to drop Kstate for losing to an unranked team. I'm assuming the top four will look like this...
1. ND
2. Alabama
3. UGA
4. Florida
After that you've got three two loss teams, but you've got two one loss teams right behind them. Bama dropped from one to four but there were four unbeatens at the time. With an Oregon loss you've got to make way for them which I imagine will be in the five spot. So do you put them at six and leave the rest where they are, or do we see them fall all the way down to eleven? You have to find a spot for Stanford now but everyone with the exception of the top two won today. So will the team that just beat #1 not move up at all or just one spot, possibly jumping Oklahoma? Safe prediction...
1. ND
2. Bama
3. UGA
4. Florida
5. Oregon
6. Kstate
7. LSU
8. Texas A&M
9. South Carolina
10. FSU
11. Clemson
12. Stanford
13. Oklahoma
14. Nebraska
15. Texas
Bold prediction...
1. ND

11. Kstate
12. Stanford
13. Oklahoma
14. Nebraska
15. Texas
USC will fall to at least 23, possibly 25 and if they lose to ND will have gone from 1 to out of the polls over the course of the season.
How can you not love college football?
I'd also like to add that after tonight Johnny Manziel will likely be the front runner for the Heisman and would be the first freshman to win the award.

I see it like this:
1. ND
2. Bama
3. Oregon
4. Georgia
5. Florida
6. K State
7. LSU
8. A&M
9. Florida State
10. South Carolina
Even though K State lost to an unranked team, it's their first loss and I don't see them dropping below 2 loss teams. Oregon could drop lower, but you have the Les Miles' argument that they didn't lose in "regulation play."
Oregon will be #3 or #5...I highly doubt any lower than that.
USC should drop out of the top 25 all together....but they'll end up #24 or #25.
Johnny Football has to be the front runner right now. If not for Texas A&M's kicker, he would only have 1 loss....mayyyyybbeeee undefeated.

And to make things more confusing....
If Bama loses next week to Auburn in the Iron Bowl...LSU will win the SEC West (provided they beat Arkansas) and play a 1-loss UGA in the SEC Championship.
Then Bama is back out of the picture and may not get a BCS game, lol.
Any given Saturday.

I could see that. I'm basing mine with the idea that the computers already hated Oregon before a loss.
Edit: I can see where you're coming from with your ranking. Not with the "if Bama loses to Auburn" idea. Have you seen Auburn this year, lol.

I could see any one of these realistically happening...
ND vs. Bama

Bama vs. UF
Bama vs. Oregon

Another interesting thought is FSU sitting there at #10 with one loss, behind three two loss teams. If they beat Florida and then win the ACC how much movement are they going to get? If the stars align they could sneak their way in from a ways out.
Not the same and this would be a bigger slap I the face of the fans, and every other team especially Georgia. Georgia beat Florida to make the conference championship and then they take a team that finished seconds after that. Plus every one keeps assuming Alabama is going to beat Georgia.
I think if ND loses they still might make it. If Ucla beats Stanfond and Oregon beats Oregon ST I can Oregon sneaking back in the picture especially if they win beat Ucla.
Yeah but they computers would move them up after USC, Stanford, Oregon St stretch.

Tennessee fires coach Derek Dooley. I think they're still mad at Lane Kiffin.

I'm not sure I follow. USC is going to hurt them even more now that they have four losses, they just lost to Stanford and a win against Oregon St. is going to be too little too late.
No the strength of schedule is based on when you play them where they were ranked not where they end up. My point was computers didnt like them early as they had easier scheule but they had hardest end of the season out of all the top teams hands down. That's also why ND still is so far up in computers.
