Troy State? Really?? I know the SEC is highly overrated and all (they have the highest rated 1-loss, 2-loss and 3-loss teams in the polls!) but take your pick - Florida, SC, Kentucky, Auburn. I think these teams are better, but who knows. Sample size of games in a year is so small. That's why BCS system is a joke.
Auburn at #16 this week is a little absurd at 3 losses in my opinion.
I love Matt Ryan. I now think he is the best BC QB of all-time and that includes Flutie. However, I'm getting tired of the national folks denigrating the rest of the team and making statements such as "Ryan's receivers are mediocre at best." I know there are not a lot of stars on this team, but they play well as a team, they are smart, and they work hard.
Gunnell, Jarvis, Megwa, Purvis, Challenger, B-Rob...these are quality receivers who have made some tough catches this season.
The o-line has been much-maligned, but they are missing a key starter and they are still in the learning stages of a new scheme. With the exception of Va Tech, they have done a great job protecting Ryan. Callender is not like the great backs of 5-10 years ago, but with a passer like Ryan, he just needs to make plays when asked, and he is doing just that.
Now, let's look at the defense. They are fairly decent against the run, probably could improve against the pass, but what matters most is scoreboard. They don't give up a lot of points and they create a lot of turnovers. I'll take our linebacking corps and line them up against anyone. Further, consider that 2 out of the 3 best defenders have not played a down this year! I predicted BC would lose 3 games and that was when I thought Toal and Raji would start.
This team is not all Matt Ryan. There are a lot of players that have made key plays at key times for this team. Are they #2? Hell, I don't know. It's all subjective anyway. All I know is that if they keep winning, they are #1 in my heart.
