I have a few questions as per your rankings Darren... 1) You have USC 3 and Boise 4. USC still has Oregon still on the schedule but what makes you think they'd be able to pass an undefeated Boise. I don't think they have hard enough games that even if they win out, I still don't think they'd be able to pass Boise. If Boise loses though, USC could of course pass them but then no way Boise would be able to finish at #4. 2) You have BYU at 12 and Utah at 14 however, they play each other in the last game of the season. No matter the outcome of the game, I don't see how they could finish so close to each other. I would assume the loser would drop to very high teens or low 20's, but also very dependent upon their rankings going into the game. However, if TCU beats both of them, that could lead to the game losing a great deal of its luster. In full disclosure as I feel people who critique things like this should leave themselves up for criticism as well, below are my predicted BCS standings for Selection Sunday with some small commentary as well. Feel free to let me know why you disagree. 1. Alabama - Beats UF in a very close, highly defensive game 2. Texas - With Oklahoma out of the way and possibly no Dez, Texas should cruise to the championships game 3. Boise State - Consistency = undefeated 4. Florida - Tough loss to Bama means Sugar Bowl for the Gators 5. Cincinnati - Pike being hurt shouldn't ruin season 6. USC - doing everything possible but continually haunted by Washington game 7. TCU - @BYU and v. Utah are two very hard, must-win games 8. Miami - Started season with 4 ranked opponents, smooth sailing from here 9. Virginia Tech - will win ACCCG but too bad it won't be against anyone good 10. Penn St - continue to look better every game 11. LSU - Possibly going to finish with 2 losses, UF and @ Bama 12. Oregon - After a loss to USC on halloween, they should win out 13. Houston - Can anyone truly get a feeling about this team 14. Oklahoma St - Dez Bryant is still a big question mark 15. Iowa - @Ohio St is going to be a very hard game I as well completed this challenge and actually put a decent amount of thought into it, not because I think I’ll have any chance of winning, because it was actually pretty fun…
