ESPN
how is this surprising? They ALWAYS pick Bama and after two 11-win seasons for USCe ESPN is now smitten with the Gamecocks.
Once we start winning games we'll turn some heads. Don't ever really care about preseason predictions or polls from the Evil Empire Network.

Everyone needs to realize that anaylist are going to make the safe pick.
Alabama, Florida state. Oregon are all safe pics.
LSU is in no way shape or form a safe pick.

It's not perfect, but it's a helluva lot better than the previous systems. First it was sportswriters who just subjectively picked who they thought was the best team. Things got better with the BCS. At least we had a championship game. Still, the selection of the two participants was primarily subjective.
completely agree. The BCS ratings were 2/3 affected by the polls, which are an abomination. Having a committee (although still human) is much better than polls.
College football isn't the NFL (32 teams vs. 128). Too many weak conferences, and schedules are completely different. The NFL equalizes schedules each year based on prior year results.
Once the playoff expands to 8, we can then automatically take the conference champions in the big 5 conferences and then add 3 at large teams. This takes some of the subjectivity out of the equation.
But for now, I'll take the committee over the prior BCS formula every day of the week.

I think there is a good chance no SEC teams make the playoffs. SEC could easily beat itself up this year leaving every team with at least 2 loses
I have been saying this all along.........
