Who else? I really haven't heard anyone say that about Clemson (they are behind several other 1 loss teams in all the major polls). Plus, even if you do beat a 5-3 Va Tech team, does that really mean much?

Lots of teams have been called "the best 1 loss team" thus far this season: Auburn, Texas, Clemson, Tennessee, Florida, etc...

Don't get your panties in a twist...besides, everyone knows Clemson is just "Auburn with a lake"

The talking heads on College GameDay did during the post game report. Fowler, Corso (idiot!), and Herbie.

maybe it doesn't mean that much, but we just dominated GA Tech and held calvin johnson to... how many catches? 0.

Why oh WHY is Cal ranked higher than Tennessee?

"Cuz if they played again now, Cal would win."

Prove it. The only proof I saw or need was Tennessee absolutely making Cal their bitch in the opener.

As much as I root for the pac-10, I agree. If two teams have the same record and played eachother earlier in the year, the winning team should ALWAYS be ahead.

The same thing happened in 2000 with Washington and Miami. Washington beat Miami and after a couple weeks Miami was ahead of Washington in the polls with the same record.

Because there is more than 1 game in a football season. You could argue that the Tenn/Cal game is all that matters in the ratings. But Prove it. Prove that no other data is needed in ranking teams. Prove that the other games Tenn played and that the other games Cal played are meaningless.

That is a nice dream, but it is physically impossible to come up with ANY ranking system that does it. Suppose X, Y, and Z played equally difficult schedules, did equally well in those games, and suppose that X beats Y, Y beats Z, and Z beats X, who is #1?

That actually happens a lot, but it's a completely different scenario. If all 3 teams had different records, then it would be the one with the best record. If all 2 of them teams had the same record, and the 3rd one had a worse record, then it would be whoever won between the two teams. If they all had the same record, it would come down to strength of schedule and perceived talent.

How about Cal hasn't really played anybody worth a damn? You could say Oregon...but they just lost again to WSU...so they're not that good.

Thats because Arkansas was ranked down in the 30's at the beginning of the season. Arkansas always has to win and earn their way into the rankings. The meat and potatoes of their schedule is coming up though and should solidify their ranking (games against Tennessee, South Carolina and LSU).

It still really doesn't work. Big upsets do happen, but that doesn't mean that one team is actually better than the other. What do you do when an unranked team beats a top ten team? Do you take the top 10 team all the way out of the rankings and below the team that upset them? Or do you take the unranked team and propel them to the top half of the ranking somewhere? Neither way seems fair to me. If you take the 1st option you might suddenly have a very good 1 loss team out of the top 25. If you take the second option you might end up with a team that has a losing record in the top 10 and ahead of many teams that are actually better.

[edit] Nevermind... I see you are taking records into account.

I can't really answer that since no theoretical records are given.

X is #1 because they have coach that used be an assistant in the NFL, and because they were the best team during most sports writers' father's impressionable childhood years.

WVU fan checking in to remind you that the title game will still be WVU/OSU. Not much changed this week except Michigan got a good scare from mediocre Iowa. I'd love to see USC or Michigan play WVU right now.

How about you wait to talk trash about mediocre opponents until after WVU beats UL? Even Iowa is head and shoulders above anyone WVU has played so far.

Haha.. I kind of hope that happens. It will be another big controversy in the BCS. While I think that they are truly a great team, their schedule is so weak there are going to many pissed people if they get in... even if it's over some 1 loss teams.

Funny considering the fact that your SIG says that your "computer program" claims the Big East has the best "Conference Rating". Also funny is the fact that you go to UGA, whom WVU stomped in the Sugar Bowl last year (you witnessed the carnage firsthand).

You can cry all you want, the fact is that WVU will stomp Louisville, UL barely got by Cincy and WVU whipped Syracuse way more than Louisville did (*cough 457 yards rushing vs 223*). I don't see Louisville beating WVU and 97.456% of people who follow the Big East agree.

Funny how WVU hasn't played ANY of the decent Big East teams. Yet, you give them credit for the Big East difficulty. Rose colored glasses don't work well against a crimson or scarlet colored team.

If WVU beats Louisville and Rutgers, then they will have accomplished something. But that is one big IF.

I always root for the lesser known teams to go undefeated and have a chance at the national championship. In all my years of watching, they have ALWAYS faltered right near the end. Maybe WVU can break that trend. But history's examples don't look good for WVU.

 

[kalster]

wvu has only beaten 1 team (maryland) with a winning record, the teams they have beaten so far are a combined 20-32 , i think i would wait a while before i starting talking about them being better than undefeated teams that have beaten legit teams

 

[hdeck]

people are way too quick to crown WVU. they haven't played (let alone beaten) a single ranked team this year. beat Louisville, Pitt, and Rutgers, and then you can make your case for the title game.
