Cola Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 UCF is getting the short end in the polls. They have a better resume than Louisville and beat them head-to-head, yet one is ranked #19 and the other is #13.It is only the coach's poll. The Harris Poll has it correct with UCF one spot ahead Louisville. The AP also has UCF ahead. It only proves that the coach's assistant or SIDs, who cast the ballots do not watch other games.However, it seems as if there is a shot that UCF will been kept low to allow a nonAQ into the BCS in its final year. The Wednesday MAC-tion with unbeaten NIU vs. one loss Ball St. will play a role too. Right, which I only posted because the Coaches is used in the formula. I saw the AP poll and agree with it.For personal reasons, UCF having a higher ranking and BCS finish is important for South Carolina.If USCe loses to Clemson and they also make the BCS, you would been 1-1 against BCS bound and would feel how?I don't understand how the success of an opponent makes you feel better as one may have won an individual game. That is like saying you had won the season series against the Red Sox, so it is ok you/your team finished 4th in your division.Most teams don't play 2 BCS teams in a season, so I guess I couldn't feel too bad about it. Is it out of the realm of possibility to assume we could end up with a win over Clemson and have them still go as an at-large into a BCS game...making us 2-0? That would be better.You are acting as though the success of South Carolina's opponents is a pride thing for me as a fan; I am talking about strength of schedule and how it actually calculates into a better bowl position. Comparing MLB to a sport where a ranking system is in place and relevant is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The bowls do not care about a teams SOS in terms of selection and "bowl position", they are in business to hoodwink the participating schools into the ticket guarantees to ensure that they make money and the schools do not. That usually occurs by not have the same school two consecutive years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoknight Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It's no secret that the bowl makers typically pick "name brand" teams that travel well and sell tickets. It explains those leapfrog situations in bowl pecking order. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF. TITLES | 5th in HEISMAN | 7th in DRAFTS | 8th in ALL-AMER | 7th in WINS | 4th in BOWLS | 1st in SELLOUTS | 1st GAMEDAY SIGN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was gonna be a blowout, but I didn't think it was going to start right out of the gates. I quickly changed to the Wisconsin-Candy Cane Tech Indiana game, which is also a blowout. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
