They beat Ole Miss, who beat Florida, who beat everybody else.

Case closed.

1. With the current bowl system, I'd say that is unrefutable logic.
Except that nobody beat Utah yet.

7. The outcomes of games where Wake's kicker was hurt don't count
It's in the rule book.

Look it up.

4. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Several teams beat Ole Miss this year. None of them can lay a legitimate claim to being No. 1. Why did Ole Miss beat Florida? It's the SEC, baby!! On any given Saturday, almost any SEC team can beat anybody else. Ole Miss had a great game, and Florida had a shitty game, for which Tebow took the blame and swore "never again." And he was right.

Florida, and therefore the SEC, RULES!!

8. A decent high school team could beat all the teams that Utah beat this year
People that don't know anything about sports really shouldn't post in sports threads.

14. Nope..... Miami of Ohio (2-10 record)..... and here's why:

Miami (Oh) beat Bowling Green

Bowling Green beat Pitt

Pitt beat Navy

Navy beat Wake Forest

Wake Forest beat Mississippi

Mississippi beat Florida


Therefore... 2-10 Miami of Ohio is the best team in the land.

15. They won the prestigious Eagle Bank Bowl. There shouldn't be an issue here.
Edited on Fri Jan-09-09 01:44 PM by PeterU
I mean, we're talking about a pre-Christmas Day bowl game played in 40 degree weather in a rotting 47 year old stadium located in Traffic Circle Hell, USA. What college team doesn't dream about playing in that game?

19. Lemme know when all you wannabes do this
A 50-year streak of winning seasons. Until then, there is only one greatest college football team.
