I have a comment about those that say "a top 5 team will not move/drop as long as they win". I think that this is not as true as it used to be. In 03 LSU would have been #1 in that poll had they lost to Florida before USC lost to Cal. That's why I think USC's claim is BS. The only reason they were #1 was because they lost first. And I still think the AP is the least likely poll to drop a team down if they don't lose. The good news about that? The AP is not part of the BCS and is therefore irrelevant.

After 04 I really believe that the Coaches and Harris polls do a better job toward the end of the season at looking at the "body of work" of each team. They have become a little more likely to make jumps when it is deserving. And even if an actual JUMP is not made, enough votes are cast to make the deserving team at least closer by getting more points. And with that team getting closer, it can allow the computer polls (which look exclusively at the body of work) to cause the jump in the overall BCS standings.

Look at the "respect" the BCS final standings had for the SEC the last 2 seasons. I think they got it right. To me it appears that the system, as flawed as it is, is at least getting the deserving teams (those with the tougher schedules, biggest wins, etc.) in the championship game. Having said that, if USC and UGA go undefeated, or both have 1 loss and there are no undefeated teams, they will be #1 and #2. They have the toughest schedules of all the big dogs in the hunt. So guys, if OSU beats USC, and LSU drops 1 game, don't look for LSU to get the nod over USC this year. Of course I realize that the "tougher schedule" argument can change. Half of USC's "tough" teams could turn out to be busts and Bama and S. Car could end up in the 10. All of this is just my opinion.
