The regular season is finished, all the bowl matchups are set, and not surprisingly, my computer still does not have Oregon at the #2 spot as every BCS computer and every human poll has the Ducks. My computer, however, is slowly approaching reality as they moved up to #6 but still behind TCU and 2 teams with 2 losses.
The SEC championship game turned out to be a rout as South Carolina sadly squandered its first and probably last chance at an SEC title for years. The ACC championship game wasn't much closer. Virginia Tech is looking like one of the best teams in the country now, very much unlike the team that started by losing to Boise State and James Madison. I'm as interested in their Bowl game against Stanford as much as any game this winter.
Here are the Asbury rankings headed into bowl season:
1 Auburn 13-0
2 Oklahoma 11-2
3 Ohio State 11-1
4 Arkansas 10-2
5 TCU 12-0
6 Oregon 12-0
7 Boise State 11-1
8 Stanford 11-1
9 Wisconsin 11-1
10 LSU 10-2
11 Virginia Tech 11-2
12 Alabama 9-3
13 Missouri 10-2
14 Oklahoma State 10-2
15 Texas A&M 9-3
16 Michigan State 11-1
17 Nevada 11-1
18 South Carolina 9-4
19 Hawaii 10-3
20 Nebraska 10-3
Any team decent team would look like the best team in the country against ACC competition...the conference has the lowest winning % among BCS conferences (about the same as the Big East) and the entire conference only has 3 out of conference wins total vs. BCS competition. It is ridiculous how down the conference is this season.
