What.A.Joke.
Hand Carroll his worst loss ever at SC and we move up a measly 2 spots

BS. Sc can all the way up to 5th with a loss to UW but we only get to 8th after we dismatle them. It's a complete joke.

Right behind Boise. Ithink many voters cant wait to move the Ducks ahead.

We are the top ranked one-loss team. That is all we can ask for. A NC wasnt in the cards for us this year anyways.

I don't know what to think about this. I think we're one of the top three best teams in the country, but we're also not undefeated. It's hard to knock any team down below us that hasn't lost, especially if they've beaten us.

It all comes down to this question: do you rank teams by how good you think they are or by how impressive their resume is?

We are three spots behand them in the human polls. If we pass them it will be because of the computers, not the voters.

Calm down everyone. The rankings are like golf, just like it's easy to go from shooting 100 to shooting an 85, it's easy to move from 25 to 10, but shooting an 80 or below takes a lot of work. aka getting into the top 5 is not going to be easy. Don't whine about rankings. stay focused on Stanford and Win the Day.

SC was ranked ahead of a bunch of one loss teams last week. We don't get the respect we deserve because we aren't a "USC" or "Notre Dame". How many teams has the BCS screwed over the years? Nobody here should ever be happy with it since Oregon got screwed out of the championship game a few years back.

LOL. We're fans, we don't need to "win the day". We can look ahead, the team won't lose if we as fans overlook Stanford.

People realized how overrated SC is. They have played three bad games in a row. The win isnt as impressive to the rest of the nation.

Thanks Chip. But since we're fans, we're allowed to not be entirely focused on each week and look at the big picture. It doesn't actually affect our team. I guarantee you, they don't give a s*** if we whine about rankings or if we start talking about the big Arizona game or whatever.

I do, however, agree that we shouldn't whine too much. Not because we need to stay focused, but because nobody remembers week 10's rankings. They remember the final two: the ones before the bowls and the ones after. Too much will change in the next few weeks to get too concerned.

umm how can u say a n.c. isnt in the cards for us after that game last night... who here thinks we cant beat anyone in the nation??? i know we can.

i think eventually after/if we handle business against four solid teams to finish the season we will jump bsu, tcu, cincy, and iowa. plus i think cincy and iowa are gonna loose ne ways... basically we need lsu to beat alabama and albama to beat florida in the sec championship... imo thats are shot to get in the game.. unless there are some major upsets... seems like that happens alot in CFB

And if opponents aren't going to matter, Oregon should schedule out of conference teams like Portland State and 2 other cupcakes every season. Apparently, playing Boise St, Utah and Purdue made no difference. I don't like the fact that we play a team like Tennessee in the future. What's really to gain there except for bragging rights?
