The REAL Top 25 Poll

All the polls stink and have no real accountability. This poll comes from people whose livelihoods depend on their ability to rate the teams.

Presenting to you the most accurate Top 25 poll:

Las Vegas Oddsmakers' Top 25

This poll last week correctly picked Louisville over West Virginia and LSU over Tennessee (@ Tenn). It's better than AP, USA Today, Harris, BCS, and every computer that the major news agencies report.

I guess when you have to put your money where your mouth is and actually put some thought into your rankings, you get much better results. Too bad the BCS can't use this.

Translation..... whichever of the 1000 polls ranks Cal the highest is the most accurate.

When you have to resort to people who base their living off of the term "point spread" to make Cal a Top 5 team, you're going a little too far.

nebraska is good at 20, but when we beat a+m, and then if we can do the unthinkable and beat texas in the title game, I say, bring on the loser of the michigan/ohio st. game, which will indeed be michigan, an overrated fag team, lets have a repeat of last years bowl, so we can fuck your wolverines again,
nice game against ball st. by the way, see, nebraska will be peaking come january, and brandon jackson will run the football down your pussified big ten throats,
remember cory ross last year? he ran the rock down your faggotty michigan throats for 165 yds,
the big ten is a faggott conf.
and, come january, I pray to god that we get michigan again,
ive got a boner the size of alaska at the mere thought.
funny thing is,
you big ten fruits say there is no way michigan can meet nebraska in a bowl, YET, should we win the big 12, we automatically get a bcs berth,
ya dumb fruits,
if we lose the big 12, then I see us dry fucking florida st.
which is always a good thing,

Brad, the loser of the Michigan-Ohio St game is almost certainly going to the Rose Bowl. Either that or they're still going to the BCS title game.

Nebraska sure ain't going to either one.

Translation: No way, no how you're playing a Big 10 big dog come bowl season.

Bullshit, 'cause every Big 11 team kicks ass. They just beat up on each other during the season and that's why they suck in bowls.

Sin,
Big 11 Fan

Wait, what? I'm sorry, I don't even know what the question was... I just hate cripple fights.

Put Michigan anywhere near the top 5...if they go into Columbus and beat the scarlet and gray, you can't tell me they won't deserve to be #1 after that. If anyone wants to knock them down a couple spots after their bad game against Ball State then why not do the same thing to Ohio State?

I'm sure m2 would prefer to see Tennessee ranked a little higher though...

It doesn't matter. However loses the OSU v. Michigan game, is going to get rolled in the RB.

If Michigan loses to Ohio State and doesn't get to play for the national title...I can give two shits about what bowl game they play in. If Cal plays Big Blue in Pasadena, you can have the game...to me, the season ends after an Ohio State loss. If you want to get off on winning a consolation game, knock yourself out.

If the loser of the tOSU/Michigan game goes to the Rose bowl then that game will be a cant miss game this year. Can't say the same for the Fiesta bowl if BSU goes, they are going to get rolled badly.
