1. Ohio State (7-0)
2. South Florida (6-0)
3. Boston College (7-0)
4. LSU (6-1)
5. Oklahoma (6-1)
6. South Carolina (6-1)
7. Kentucky (6-1)
8. Arizona State (7-0)
9. West Virginia (5-1)
10 Oregon (5-1)
The above list of top 10 teams, is the first release of the 2007 BCS Standings in college football. Yes, that list. The same list which features the likes of South Florida at #2, Boston College at #3, and South Carolina, Kentucky, and Arizona State at #6-8, respectively. No USC, no Florida, no Virginia Tech, no Michigan, no Texas. Besides Ohio State, LSU, and Oklahoma there are no true college football powerhouses in the top 10 this year...so far.
But the question remains, is parity (at least THIS much parity) good for college football? At first glance, parody is almost always good for sports. However, in this case, with so many of the "better" college football programs losing, and some of the rising programs continuing to go undefeated and even upseting some of the more well known teams, with an arguably softer schedule, the end result might, just might not be for the best.
Let's take a very, very hypothetical approach here and say Ohio State loses somewhere along the line, USF and BC win out, and the computers don't think there is a one-loss team that deserves to jump ahead of either one. Does the general public really want to see a USF/BC national championship game? I don't know. Do people, and college football experts really believe that BC could beat LSU on a neutral field, or that USF would beat Oklahoma, or USC, or Florida? Maybe.
The bottom line is all of this is looking very far into the future of a long college football season. No one knows exactly how it will work out, and there is always second guessing when it comes to the BCS system, but as I see it now, this is the most wacky and unusual college football season to date.

College Football makes no sense to me. Without some sort of championship playoff its like a season long over-the-pants-hand-job with out cumming.
But, then again, I didnt grow up in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ann Arbor, State College, Baton Rouge, etc..
Actually, on second thought I am eagerly awaiting the "Tampax Extra Moist Tampon Bowl."
