AP top 25

Is there such a guy, or is that just the name of the outfit, like Jethro Tull?

Well, if there really is a guy named Sagarin, I'm sure he thinks I'm full of it.

But, seriously, SOS changes throughout the year, to the point it's far more relevant at the end of the season than the beginning. I think that's why it was so important in the BCS days, when picking the top two teams was always such a shitshow. Even then, it was still pretty dumb, as I think most USC fans would have thought so in 2002, when USC was probably the best team at the end of the season.

Funny thing. I went to Miami to watch the orange bowl. 2002 season. Yes played won etc. It was a huge win and a little surprising.

afterward the Miami herald wrote “Thats what a national championship team looks like. That was the best team in the country”. Which was funny because I’m pretty sure Miami was playing ohiosTate for the National. Championship in the rose bowl

the irony of the statement and the geography was funny at the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if Miami was still making fun of UCLA losing to the 'Canes a few years earlier in the Orange Bowl, i.e. "That (UCLA) is NOT what a national championship team looks like. This (USC) is."

The whores are actually 16 in the espn power fpi alphabet thing. Not sure what or why but they are there.

im not used to seeing 7-10 in this poll. I’m sure others feel that way about usc at 6
