Its BCS Time…BCS Top 25

October 20, 2008 by  

Over the past few years there has been a lot of concern for the rankings of college football to be determined by a computer system.  Personally I am all for it and all for exploiting the computer world, but I too, have had problems in the past with its decisions.  The two incidences that I am referring to are the 2003 season when USC was ranked #1 in both polls but when the final BCS Standings came out, they were ranked 3rd and out of the championship.  Personally since then I have felt that USC has gotten a lot of votes when they should not have.  After they won their bowl game they were forced to share the #1 status with LSU which created a lot of controversy.  In 2006 Boise State was denied a spot in the championship game after going undefeated the entire season and ended up having to play in the Fiesta Bowl and beat Oklahoma in overtime 43-42 (my favorite bowl game of the year).  To me, I dont think you should even be given a chance in the case of Boise State unless they are willing to play heavy hitting teams throughout the season.  There is no chance they make it in this year because of the schedules the Big 12, SEC, and Big 10.  Even though the BCS has had its controversial subjects, its still better than the alternative which would be biased votes from across the country like the AP Poll which this season I have had a lot of problems with.  I am just glad that Texas is at the top where they should be at this point.  A lot of Alabama fans are pissed they are not #1 and all I have to say about that is look at what has happened the past couple of seasons with the #1 spot.  They seem to lose all the time so I wouldn’t worry too much about it because you guys don’t have much of a schedule left. Anyways, without further blabbing, here is the first BCS Standings of the 2008 season:

1. Texas 7-0
2. Alabama 7-0
3. Penn State 8-0
4. Oklahoma 6-1
5. USC 5-1

10. Florida 5-1
11. Utah 8-0
12. Boise State 6-0
13. LSU 5-1
14. TCU 7-1
15. Missouri 5-2
16. South Florida 6-1
