As others have told you SU, stick to ballet. You have no idea what you're talking about here.

South Florida is in the Big East. They have no impact on us no name programs cracking the BCS.

You're adorable when you try to talk football. I imagine this is how I would sound if I tried to discuss wine tasting with you.

I just meant for moving up in rankings. Most of the teams ahead of us would climb back over us eventually, even with one loss.

South Florida would be done with one loss.

Isn't South Florida in a BCS conference? (ACC?)

It's a bigger deal for other non-BCS conference teams to get taken out of consideration for a BCS bid. Nothing is going to stop a team from each of the self-proclaimed better conferences getting in.

The best scenario, IMO, would have been for a team like ECU and Utah (for me) or BYU (for you) to both end up undefeated and ranked high enough in the BCS polls to qualify for a BCS bowl.

It wouldnever happen though, because the cretins that run the BCS would make sure to manipulate the data enough to keep one out, if not both.

As bad as the Big East is this year, USF will lose at least one conference game. They don't have good depth yet in that program and they'll wear down as the season goes on. WVU and dare I say it, Pitt and UCONN will take them out. They'll lose two of those three games this year.

Michigan sure did look good last week against Notre Dame. I am sure you are referring to them as that really bad team.

I don't know if I would be praising Air Force right now. Their wins were against SUU, Wyoming and Houston. Houston just lost to a bad CSU.

Yeah, I've always been so impressed with your cutting edge, insightful football analysis. I'd love to paruse some of your offerings again. Will you link me some to save me some time?

I never claimed football analysis was my thing. I still say you're a gratuitious ass kisser. What's "inside track" supposed to mean in this context anyway? They're both 4-0. In fact, Utah has one more win in the MWC, having played two of the better teams (unlike BYU), and Utah will play BYU at home. YOU don't know what you're talking about. The difference between you and me is you pretend to know more than you do.

I don't know if we can play the "which opponent has played better teams" game right now. Michigan sucks and the UCLA win over Tennessee isn't as impressive as it was before last week.

BYU will dominate AFA. It' won't be close.
