Welcome to the New Millennium

This is such an upside-down college football season. What once was up (USC) is down. What once was down (Kentucky) is now up. What once didn't exist (South Florida) is now #2 in the nation. Wow.

As expected, The Ohio State University is #1 in the first BCS rankings. The surprise is that South Florida is #2. If the season were to end today, the South Florida Bulls would be playing for a national championship. This is a program that only began in 1997 and moved to Division I-A in 2001. Wow.

Boston College has its highest ranking ever at #3. LSU is the highest-ranked one-loss team, at #4. The Tigers still have a good chance to play a home game at the Superdome in the BCS National Championship Game.

More surprises in the top 10 include South Carolina and Kentucky. Both teams are currently tied for first in the SEC East. The Gamecocks are 7th in the BCS, while the Wildcats are 8th. Is Kentucky now a football school?

I'm loving this football season. I'll love it even more if the Sooners can move up from #5 to one of the top two spots, in spite of their brain fart at Colorado.
