Ranking the Darkhorses

Post by Mars »


Undefeated Iowa, 4th in the BCS poll
One-Loss USC, 5th in the BCS poll
Undefeated TCU, 6th in the BCS poll
Undefeated Boise State, 7th in the BCS poll
Undefeated Cincinatti, 8th in the BCS poll

Which team here has the best resume? The worst?
Which team here is the best on the field? The worst?
Who has the best BCS Title shot, if Texas loses? The worst?

My problem with Iowa's resume is all the close victories. Northern Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan State were all won by 2 points or less. The computers, of course, will have no such problem.

But they won, I agree, I hope the lose soon, they suck, but when you look at who they have beat... it barely is better then TCU, but when TCU wipes the floor with Utah, then TCU better, but I think Iowa will lose sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.
