First of all, good job Kentucky at preventing the Tigers from geauxing on to another victory last night (I now hate you in football almost as much as I do in basketball). Yes, I'm disappointed but I have to say that LSU will have some fire going into the second half of the season. This happened for them last year and they tore up the second half of the season. They capped it off by wrecking Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. So this could be a good thing for them. (if they've got to take a loss this year, thank goodness it wasn't to Urban Meyer's team)
What I am really keyed-up about is today's BCS standings. Anyone out there who honestly believes that Boston College deserves a higher ranking than LSU please express yourself. If that isn't clearly incorrect in your mind, picture the two teams playing each other. I feel like too many poll voters come from the north-east where they honestly believe that a "whatever-and-0" team is better than a 1-loss, 2-loss, or even 3-loss SEC team. A team coming out of the SEC with a couple of losses is like that dude on the Marines commercial that goes through a fantasy obstacle course, becoming refined by being tested, slays a monster and then is shown in full uniform, sword in hand. When bowl season comes, that "monster" is going to be the heralded #1 (someone like Boston College or Ohio) who will get slain mercilessly by the marine - a team from the south like LSU.
Further, does Kentucky deserve the promotion to spot 7? If that's our logic, then where's our head at leaving Colorado out of the top 25? They had an adrenaline filled out-of-the ordinary game on 9/29 in which they beat the OU, sort-of like Kentucky beating LSU yesterday (or Auburn beating Florida). Speaking of the Sooners, why the junk aren't they ahead of Boston College? Oh wait, I forgot, BCS cares more about that 7-0 next to BC's name than the passion and ability of a true football powerhouse like OU.
