Coaches poll is out. UCF moves up three spots because 3 teams ahead of them lost. That's how it works.
I think Auburn beating Mizzou would be enough for the computers to throw them ahead of tOSU regardless of the B1G title game result.

But still behind Louisville lol.
My bet is most of this talk will be moot on account of Ohio State losing to Michigan State next week.
Yeah, that's not right. UCF won the head-to-head and their only loss is to a higher ranked team.
Winston will play in the ACC title game; the state attorney's decision won't be until the following week. It's the title game he will probably miss out on. Even then, it's a month out and I have very little doubt that he'll magically be cleared to play.
Convenient timing.

This is just a bit of Non-AQ paranoia from back in my TCU days, but I wonder if they moved them up to save them from more NIU embarrassment in their last year. UCF needs to jump NIU to stop NIU making a bowl:
A. Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or
B. Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.
Sarkisian to USC.
Or are you just saying the BCS itself is trying to eliminate too many "no-name" teams?
If you're not in the top 16, you shouldn't go to a BCS bowl. Hell, top 12. The system sucks and I'm glad they're changing it.
I have a problem with how teams get ranked more than how they choose who goes...
There's a bias based upon names alone. And name bias aside even, the idea of power rankings inserts a totally different type of bias, where a team is "expected" to be at value x early on and that weights them down. Order of schedule means everything then.
This past weekend was one of the most awesome weekends of College Football I've ever seen. So many amazing/close games, with a lot on the line, be it National title implications or just bragging rights/trophies between rivals. I'm not gonna lose much sleep over the BCS rankings and who goes to what Bowl because it's the same shit, different schools every single year. I'll instead opt to just continue to enjoy remembering what unfolded on Saturday. Not saying that my approach is right, or wrong, just saying that I wish sports fans could every once in a while just bask a bit in what happened instead of immediately debating the aftermath.
Oh, I enjoyed the shit out of this past weekend with that incredible finish, Penn State's mammoth upset and Villanova kicking ass down in the Bahamas.This past weekend was one of the most awesome weekends of College Football I've ever seen.
