Might as well start.
Folks can rank how they want, but I'm just going to work off last weeks BCS,and I don't see much changing from last week's BCS rankings.
Miami will drops out of top 10, Oregon Ducks will move to 10, and my guess is USC/TCU flip spots 7/8 so that it is TCU/USC in 7/8 this week.
Interesting though, how the dynamics have changed. Instead of Fla/Bama as greater than the rest, and Texas looking shaky, we have the so called weaker or less proven teams looking good (Boise, Cincy, TCU) and a few of the power houses (fla/bama/USC) looking shaky, except for Texas.
Iowa looks vulnerbale, and LSU looks good.
My guess at this week's BCS
1. Florida - a tough go against a team they should handle
2. Bama - very, very lucky to be undefeated
3. Texas - moves back into the top 3 discussion
4. Boise - currently crushing Hawaii with a couple of mins left
5. Cincinnati - rolling along
6. Iowa - oops....looking shaky
7. TCU - win against ranked BYU should put them over USC..will it bump them past Iowa??
8. USC - Not helping their we- are -as -good- as- florida/Bama/Tex argument.
9. LSU - beat a tough team
10.Oregon - takes Miami's 10 spot

Iowa is 28.

They do just good enough to win each week. It really helped to have their best game against their toughest opponent, and their opponent having their worst game that week.

1- Bama- Despite winning close, they controlled that game. I think they still have some red zone issues (much like UF), but everything else looks pretty solid.
2- UF- Though the game against MSU was less than overwhelming, UF dominated this game. The score probably should have been 16-3 at half, barring that Tebow pick six on MSU's 5 (or w/e it was). Tebow threw two pick sixes, and the score reflects poorly on UF's D, who played pretty well. Overall, still alot of problems on this team, namely: play calling, red zone issues, OL issues, etc...but D is still playing lights out, despite missing some of the top players.
3- UTexas- moved back up, looking solid. While Mizzou isn't fantastic, they are still a BCS school and winning on the road in the fashion they did was solid.
4. Cincy- I'm not sure how well cincy would match up against other top-10 teams on a neutral field, but they sure looked pretty impressive. With that said, ULouisville sucks a fat one, so I'm not putting TOO much into this win.
5. USC- Beat a good OSU team...I think USC still might be favored over some of the teams that are ranked ahead of them in the AP, but who knows.
6. TCU- don't really know where else to put them, they smashed BYU, who was a solid team. As a person who looks down upon these smaller conference schools, part of me wonders how good these teams really are...but I guess I can't deny their accomplishments. I think TCU is going to continue to rise, and eventually usurp BSU. I think BSU/TCU would be a pretty solid matchup as well (I think they played last year in the bowl? not sure).
7-10. have to eat lunch now, but don't really know. LSU looked really solid last night, good D and their O finally did something. iowa squeaked by, but as lapoker said, MSU is better than some of the other opponents that t-10 teams played vs. yesterday. I also dont know where to put PSU after that thrashing they gave.

not only do they only have 1 "impressive" win (i refuse to count arizona), but they're barely beating the ****ty teams on their schedule that they're supposed to kill. coming back to beat MSU by 2 on the last play of the game doesn't shot grit and heart, it shows that this is simply not a good team.
the schedules of BSU, cincy and iowa are very comparable, but 4 of iowa's games have been decided by a field goal or less and none of those 4 teams are any good. BSU's smallest margin of victory was 7, and that was the only time they won by single digits. cincy's was 8, and that was also the only time they won by single digits
but your contention is that on this week alone iowa did better than cincy and BSU. i disagree with that, but it's a fair contention. even in that case, iowa is overranked to begin with and should count their blessings they're as high as they are
