January 5, 200521 yr The Coaches Poll did something nice for the Gators.... they left them ranked. Oh it would have been sweet to rag on my roommates if the Gators were unranked in both polls...
January 5, 200521 yr And since they represent the school that you ATTEND, you would be unranked in a way as well.... Anyways, what's with ESPN saying "second straight national title" for USC??? Last time I checked LSU won the BCS national title last year.

One by the BCS and one by the AP. Usually they go to the same team, but not always.

January 5, 200521 yr NIU got robbed, how does a 7-5 Florida team who didnt win a bowl be ranked, but NIU who went 9-3 and won a bowl only be 29th.

To have one clear cut winner. Couldn't Auburn consider themselves national champions this year? Fritz explained it all, it's all good.
January 5, 200521 yr another reason why the bcs is flawed. only one of the major poll rankings has ever said that they would crown the same champion as the bcs.

Texas would've lost to USC too. Also, at least the AP and ESPN/USAToday polls don't have the obvious bias that papers from places like Seattle, LA, Detroit, Miami, etc. would have.
January 5, 200521 yr UNC finished with the hardest schedule in the nation. 648526[/snapback] I think they finished with the most bandwagon fans as well.
