At least this year strength of schedule isn't overweighted. In previous years SOS was in the polls, in the computer programs, and then in addition had a horribly failed formula component.

espn makes me sick. 4 different news shows and the ONLY mention of this dramatic college football weekend is the usc/nd game which has been the only college story for the entire weekend.

If TT ever had a defense the last few years, then they'd be by far the #1 team. Probably the #1 team in history. Imagine how many points they'd score if they had the ball more often (which a good defense would cause). However, as it is, TT can easilly put up 50 points and still lose the game. Texas will win convincingly, but it'll be a close game until the 4th quarter.

No kidding.
Why can't we have this year's offense with last year's defense?
Or least have this years defensive line healthy....

Last time I saw TT play a team with a real D, Kliff Kingsbury got pounded like a rag doll and no one mentioned his name in the same sentence as "serious Heisman contender" afterwards.

I think TT gets overrated because they build huge passing stats on cream puff teams. They'd have much lower stats if they regularly played good teams in their non-conference schedule.

Wisconsin is very high in the computer polls already. If they had beaten northwestern, Wisconsin would be #1 in Colley, and probably between 1 and 4 in the other computers as well. They were 7th and 8th in the human polls before the loss, so they'd be around 5th now. That would put them either 4th or 5th in the BCS.

I disagree. They've played many good teams over the years and scored 30+ points. They've even put up 48 or 49 points against decent teams and lost. If they had a defense, then their offense would have the ball a lot more often. When they play cream puffs, they don't need a defense and their offense gets the ball a lot. But as soon as they play really good teams, their defense sucks so badly that the the opponent always has the ball. When your opponent has the ball, you don't score so much and your stats fall.
