New top 25 is out

The only non-BCS team in either poll is Hawaii. The moral of the story is if you are a great non-BCS team -- Boise State, TCU -- and you lose to a BCS team, you pay a heavy price. Perfection isn't good enough.
As for the Mountain West, they can continue to curb their hopes -- pretty much forever -- of getting into the BCS picture. When your two big boys in BYU and TCU lose (albeit on the road) but South Florida wins in overtime at Auburn -- MWC followers always believe the Big East was ripe to get picked off -- it continues to show conferences like the MWC, CUSA, MAC and others will always be on the outside looking in.
That's why this system is garbage.

Really!?! I thought it was because Lenoir-Rhyne was a big dog in the college football world. Yay South Atlantic Conference! I rank them up with the likes of the SEC and the Pac-10. It's a good thing SMU doesn't play Benedict College, Mars Hill College, and Catawba College.
