While I am happy for Northwestern, I think the polls are largely BS. Stanford vs Florida provides a good example:

Before Saturday,

1. Stanford & Oregon were the hottest teams in the nation.

2. Florida hasn’t done much and was not considerd to have much chance against Alabama.

During the game,

1. Stanford/Oregon was largely undecided through most of the first 3 quarters and was fun to watch. The momuentum totally shifted to Oregon when they went ahead with Stanford’s fumble with 5 mins left in the third quarters.

2. On the other hand, Florida/Alabama game was over by half-time. Florida was absolutely terrible.

BUT AFTER the game,
Florida is 2 and 6 spots ahead in AP and Coaches’ polls, respectively???

Coaches don’t even know what else go on other than their own games. The sad thing is these BS matter in BCS.

APOL,
I heard that BigTen is the strongest opponent against BCS change. I can see how Ohio State love BCS since they are always so overrated in the preseason; they don’t care if they don’t deserve to go to NC game and get blown out.
