Post-Spring Poll of Top 25s   Message List

Re: [collegebcs] Updated Poll of Top 25s

Anyone know when the ACC is planning to put in a title game? Are they
going to in 2005 when Boston College joins? Just asking because I noticed
that FSU and Miami were ranked 5 & 6. I just don't see this happening
with the odds being that they'll play twice in a season, unless the logic
is that both will run the table after their first meeting, then the loser
of the first game will win the championship.
