Pre-Spring #5
The concensus among the polls right now is we're a pre-spring #5 team behind USC, Tennessee, Texas and Iowa.
That's the average from National Champions, ESPN, CBS and College Football News. If we're "lucky" and Iowa and Texas stay above us in the polls we could be #1 in the country if we beat them both... considering USC's weak schedule to that point.

Please post links for each to support your claim. I believe you, I just think it will make the thread better if you edit your post to include those polls so we have proof to show others.

I don't see the pollsters moving us ahead of USC, regardless of conference strength, unless they lose or struggle mightily.

I think next year's pac10 schedule might surprise everyone more than we think. Cal won't be as tough, but they have some average games that could be tough considering the target on USC's back.
Yes USC is the media darling, but for once the team really deserves it. They have been fairly impressive and return virtually everyone from their roster. While I wish our schedule would warrant a #1 over their poor one, I'd rather head into the bowl game as yet another underdog.

What does Tennessee have that makes them so special? I doubt they win the SEC. LSU will beat them, and I'll put money on that one.
Also think if OSU beats Iowa/Texas in that short amount of time we could jump USC for a week.

Here it is with the average of four polls:
1) USC (1.0) 2) Tennessee (3.25) NC 4, ESPN 4, CBS 3, CFN 2 3) Texas (3.5) NC 2, ESPN 2, CBS 4, CFN 6 4) Iowa (5.25) NC 11, ESPN 5, CBS 2, CFN 3 5) OSU (6.0) NC 7, ESPN 7, CBS 6, CFN 4 Also notable: 8) Michigan (7.75) NC 6, ESPN 3, CBS 9, CFN 13 19) Purdue (20.0) NC 19, ESPN NR=30, CBS 17, CFN 14 Bear in mind that the ESPN poll is from columinist Pat Forde and CBS sportsline is from Dennis Dodd. The other numbers are from NationalChamps and College Football News. It's still nice to get some props. Last edited by Carmen Ohio; 03-09-2005 at 05:56 PM. Reason: NR points
