We get no respect!

Published on November 7, 2005 By ----- In Football

What is it with such college football teams, such as (specifically) the Oregon Ducks, in the AP/Coaches/Harris poll,s they are 11th, rising 4 spots... huh?

Not only that, but they rose 2 spots in the BCS standings, and UCLA dropped to #5... WTF!?

Is it me, or do certain teams get little or no respect in (IMO an unargueably biased) BCS poll?

Another Example, 2001 season, the Oregon Ducks were "jumped" by Nebraska... (Nebraska!?) Who had lost 2 games, versus Oregons Undefeated season...

Oregon whipped Colorado, and Miami destroyed Nebraska... Now, why didn't the Ducks, when, technically they should have gone, Oregon was the #2 team. According to the fact that they were the only other undefeated team.

The "crew" that run the BCS claim that they are looking for an alternative, but nearly four years looking have seemed to have dug up squat.
