After week 13 of the BCS standings it just get clearer and clearer that the current system is no way to find a national champ in college football. Too much talk is going on about style points and not enough time looking and the facts. One thing is clear after week 13, and that is Notre Dame is over rated and should not be a top 10 rated team. How can any team be in the top 10 that in its two loses gets blown out by 20 plus points each time. Sure you can put up a nice record when you play cupcakes execpt for the two games you lose. We see a Michigan team drop one spot (a ranking which they never should have been at to start with). How can you keep a team #2 after losing a game were it never had a shot a winning? Can anyone say that they thought Michigan had a shot at coming back in that game?

Which brings it down to USC vs. the Gators for the #2 spot. If the Gators come out of the SEC Championship game the winner with a 12-1 record playing in the SEC how can you not rank them ahead of a team that has a loss to a team not ranked in any of the human polls and ranked #24 in the BCS Poll based solely on the fact they beat USC. Terry Bowden said it best this week when he broke down the game between the Gators and FSU:

All year long we heard about was how difficult the Florida schedule was and that if the Gators were in the hunt for the national title that their strength of schedule would be too hard for the pollsters to ignore. Well, now that the championship game has come down to Ohio State against a one-loss team all we’re hearing about now is that Florida hasn’t been impressive enough in their victories.

Maybe I spent too much time coaching in the SEC to be objective, but if you play Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Arkansas and Georgia (not to mention South Carolina and Florida State), you have played as tough a schedule as anyone can possibly play. Of course, the Gators must beat Florida State this weekend and Arkansas in the SEC title game to have an argument. But if they do I, for one, think they will have a great one.

Make that two then Terry, as I too feel the Gators have just as strong of a case as any one loss team. For some reason very few are making the case for them.
