tOSU takes all the little fellows to the woodshed, but they seem to get their butts kicked in the living room by the bigger guys.
Impressed? Naw. Expected? Yes.
The real test will be next week in Happy Valley.
Speaking of which, the next 3 weeks are murder's row. (@ Penn St., vs. Iowa, @ Michigan).

Same thing could be said about the Bayou Bengals- took Tulane to the woodshed, but got their butt kicked by Florida.
While you go to great lengths to point out various wins by other BCS Teams and shortchange them, you fail to mention that any of those games or teams have a far far more impressive resume that Cincy or any other Big East team.
You say that Oregon gets too much credit for wins over a down USC and Cal teams, but fail to point out that either of those teams would be decided favorites over any Big East team. USC would be a twenty point + favorite over them.
I do agree with you that the clock is going to strike midnight very shortly for Iowa but their win over Penn State is far more impressive than any win a Big East team can point to.
IMO Cincy would have a minimum of three losses in any other BCS Conference.
Bottom line the voters know that Big East football stinks on the whole and there is very little creditibility to be gained from wins over other mediocre teams such as Rutgers, Pitt, UConn and the likes.
Cincy is fortunate to be ranked where they are. Are they good? Yes! maybe the best team to come from the long list of Big East frauds that masquearde yearly. Are they an elite upper level BCS team? No not close
My BCS rankings would be like this:
1.Florida
2.Texas
3.Alabama
4.TCU
5.Boise State
6.Oregon
7.Cincinnati
8.Iowa
9.LSU
10.Georgia Tech
Conference Rankings including the BCS Conferences along with the WAC and Mountain West
1.SEC
2.Big 12
3.Pac 10
4.Big 10
5.ACC
6.Mountain West
7.Big East
8 WAC.
My hope is indeed that Cincy remains unbeaten for two reasons.
1.Watch the Big East apologists spin away and decry the very system that grants their Conference Champion an auto invite that is not merited by on field accomplishments. Thank you Mike Tranghese
2.Watch Cincy get matched up against a really good team and get their asses handed to them for all to see.
But Georgia Tech should gain credibility from beating the like of Florida State, North Carolina, Duke, and Virginia?
What about TCU? There are SO many bad Mountain West teams- UNLV, Wyoming, New Mexico, San Diego State. The Mountain West is THE most overrated conference in the country- top-heavy, but so many horrid teams.
Anyone see Tennessee don the black jerseys Saturday night? The traditionalists are not happy.

sabs, I have Cincy rated ahead of Georgia Tech. That's based strictly on how the system is set up.
If you ask me who desrves to be ranked higher out of those two? Cincy
If you ask me who would prevail in a series of games head to head? Georgia Tech.

I thought you'd be happy about the fact that Tennessee won the game and is within striking distance of sending Lane Kiffin to a bowl game (who would have thought I could possibly be saying that?)
P.S. Unlike Georgia, they at least WON their game while wearing black.

As a Tennessee fan and alumnus, if the jersey's help recruiting and Kiffin seems to think they do, I don't mind them wearing them 1-2 times a season.
You can bet that the hoops team will don the black during the upcoming season also.
The black is here to stay. Though the jersey could use names and some better design.
Probably the best that could be done on short notice though. Supposedly these jersey's weren't given the okay until Wednesday afternoon. Time frame for design and such was extremely limited.
Apparently a five-star basketball recruit signed with the Vols and liked the black jerseys.
Five-star commitment for 2011 class liked black jersey; commits to Pearl, Vols GoVolsXtra
BTW, jwfgeol, will this whole Tennessee black jersey thing be mentioned on your next podcast?
I think Tennessee is the best 4-4 team in the country right now. 4 losses by a total of 20 points including close losses to two AP #1 teams. The team is 6-2 if they can convert a 4th and goal from the 1 against UCLA and can acutally block someone on field goals.
I agree with you.
Tennesee has turned to corner back towrds respectibility.
If they win out and finish the regular season 8-4, they will play on New Year's Day.
Tennessee should be a legitimate top 5-10 program by the 2011 season.
Definitely. But I'll probably spend more time wondering why LaGarrette Blount gets suspended for the season but Brandon Spikes gets half a game.
Apparently criticizing the officiating is a more egregious error than gouging someones eyes out in the SEC.
Pathetic. Biased garbage. Take a look at the average computer rankings of the conferences, and see how not-even-remotely-close you are:
Conference Rankings
Pac-10
SEC
Big East
Big 10
ACC
B12
MWC
WAC
By having the B12 2nd in your list, you're proving that you're only looking at historical BS. The bottom 3/4 of that conference is horrible, including essentially the entire North.
MWC over the Big East. Ha.
and we all KNOW that Bryant deserved being kicked off the team at OK State the rest of the season for lying to the NCAA, he should have just attempted to gouge their eyes out and been penalized a half-game suspension when playing a cellar dwelling team.
This whole thing makes anti-UF, anti-Meyer, and anti-SEC folks look like they are right on the ball as far as what is OK to win.
Spikes should be kicked off the team for the rest of the season, no doubt about it.
