Texas is a clear No. 2 this week -- and the foreseeable future, too -- as long as they maintain their big holds in the polls. They got to keep winning with style.

The thing is, Texas is playing a decent opponent this week (No. 24 Colorado), and that will probably help Texas, at least this week. It would not surprise me if Texas fluctuates over the next few weeks.

Even if Ohio State is ahead this week, it's no more permanent than Southern Cal being ahead last week.

They are going to need to get higher in the polls than ninth or 10th, however that happens. Either teams ahead of them need to lose, or the pollsters would need to help them out.

There's just a lot of mediocrity out there. It's going to be real tough year for the committee.

The poll margin is enormous. Virginia Tech would have to be two spots ahead of Texas in the computers to get close. They need to hope those poll margins erode.

Don't be surprised if Virginia Tech is not only behind Texas but Georgia as well when the first release comes out.

You're already seeing signs that Virginia Tech is catching Texas.

Votes like that hurt the credibility. Whether it's carelessness or ignorance, you can't have votes for Idaho. It only takes one guy voting for Idaho to ruin it for the rest of the 114.

Part of their credibility problem goes all the way back to the beginning, where they just haven't settled on a formula two years in a row. If you don't have enough faith in the formula to defend it in the face of controversy, then why should you have it?

What it means is that you can't simply trust conference records to be a method of evaluating teams in the same conference. Everybody in that league will get a chance to play some good teams at some point, but not all 8-8's are the same.

If Virginia Tech ends up number one in all six computer polls, like Texas is now, and the Longhorns are number three in the computer polls, that would make up the current gap in the human polls. That's the best-case scenario for Virginia Tech. It's not like last year when Auburn was third in the human polls and third in the computer polls.

Miami controls its own destiny in the ACC. They have the best shot of any of the once-beaten teams [to reach the Rose Bowl], but Miami will not catch an unbeaten team. They have to have four of the five unbeaten teams lose a game.

More than likely it's just for one week. They are not going to stay there long-term unless they get closer to USC in the human polls.

It's a nonevent. If you have to write 1,000 words on this, I feel for you.
