Pretty much mirroring the latest polls, there was no change in the top eight positions in the newest BcS rankings released this evening.
Florida and Alabama remained on a collision course for a 1-2 SEC championship game showdown, and were followed -- as they were the week before -- Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, Boise State, Georgia Tech and LSU.
No. 9 Southern Cal’s second beat down in three games opened the door for Pittsburgh and Ohio State to break into the Top Ten at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively. Iowa, No. 10 last week, fell to No. 13 after losing to the Buckeyes in overtime.
Meanwhile, the Trojans did their best Tom Petty in freefalling all the way down to No. 18. Stanford, the beat-er to USC’s beat-ee, makes their 2009 BcS rankings debut one spot ahead of the Trojans at No. 17.
So, once again and to reiterate, as long the Big Three continues winning, it matters not at all what happens behind them. Not one single bit.
What’s that one argument the BcS spinmeisters proponents always make when it comes time to prop up a limp system? Oh yeah, that any playoff system would devalue the regular season. “The regular season is the playoffs,” they whine sniff say.
Yeah, try telling that to TCU, Cincinnati and Boise State. Especially TCU.
