I vote Auburn. IF they can get by the SEC Championship game.  :D

i agree. auburn is #1 right, BUT, they do also have the hardest remaining schedule. there is a good chance they could slip. but if they don't, their SOS could move them past OU...

@deceased_which_appreciates

i agree.  and thats why there shouldn't be a preseason poll.  those polls are based on nothing but opinion, but when the season actually starts, they get teams "stuck" in certain positions.  just because USC shared the NC last year does not mean they are the #1 team this year.  players graduate, things change, etc.

Yup. And in the VERY weak Pac 10, it's almost a given that they'll win-out the season. USC earned it last year. But this year, they have played like crap against lesser teams. IMO, OU and Auburn are tops right now. Wisc could be up there, but I don't think they can win out the season. ESPECIALLY playing the last game of the season AT Iowa, where the Hawks haven't lost in 2+ years.

lol, i just noticed 4 people voted for michigan...i'm the biggest michigan freak here, but they shouldn't be #1 ;)

i'm still hoping, somehow, someway, USC will lose one. and OU. how ****ed would a lot of people be if it was a wisky/auburn championship....

since wisky doesn't play mich, i don't mind wisky winning out, cuz i like when the big10 is represented well, but i don't know if they will make it past minny, iowa, and northwestern i think.

minny, at Mich St, At Iowa. I think they beat northwestern already.

Couple guys take on a similar topic http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?page=argument/1104

On a funny note, check out the Top 10 link near the top of that story.

It's as simple as this: the Trojans are playing better than anyone else right now.

Has this guy watched ANY football this year?

interesting topics this week. i agree about jason campbell, much better than last year.

i don't think there will be five undefeateds. they look at the good teams vs. the crappy teams, and say there's no way they'll lose, but then look at florida st and miami. no matter how impossible it seems on paper, it WILL happen, it always does.

honestly, i think the bcs rankings make more sense than the human polls, but because the bcs is affected so much by the human polls, and the human polls are SO wrong, it also makes the BCS poll look bad.

make a good computer system and stick with it. that way there will be no east coast/west coast bias. computers can view all sorts of data, while most people who vote only see a few of the dozens of games played every weekend. does it make any sense to have georgia above tenn in either poll? do any of the voters have the guts to look past how last season ended, and vote purely on this year? the answer to those questions is no.

yeah, hopefully the voters will step up, and move OU down. back to back weeks of getting lucky. not impressive at all. and wisky needs to jump cal in the BCS too. if that duck TE catches the ball, the ducks have at most a 35yd game winning field goal.

OU will not move down, the BCS will not allow it. The only way a team can move up on the standings, is if the teams ranked higher lose. If OU wins the rest of their games by 3 points, they still will remain #2.

#3 Auburn vs. #5 Georgia Next Saturday night :shifty:

you are right...but thats just wrong. we need a friggin playoff...

I agree that we need a playoff system with the top 8 BCS teams facing off in a playoff. The format could be as follows:

#1 vs. #8

#4 vs. #5

#3 vs. #6

#2 vs. #7

In that format, the team ranked higher gets to play at home and the championship game will be in whatever field the NCAA designated at the start. I just don't see how they don't have the brains to make something like that :no:

God, I hope Auburn wins. I'm so sick of hearing ESPN and CBS think he's the greatest QB in all of the land.

I'll be at the ND-USC game on the 27th...Go Irish!!

By the way, USC has had to squeak some games out, too, this year. If anyone should be #1 it's Auburn.

History doesn't look good for Auburn. Here's the outcome of the games since 1992. The visiting team has won it 9 times! Also, David Greene has a 14-1 road record (eventhough they don't count the UF games for some reason).

AU vs UGA since 1992

1992 UGA wins at AU

1993 AU wins at UGA

1994 Tie

1995 AU wins at UGA

1996 UGA wins at AU

1997 AU wins at UGA

1998 UGA wins at AU

1999 AU wins at UGA

2000 AU wins at AU

2001 AU wins at UGA

2002 UGA wins at AU

2003 UGA wins at UGA

WAR DAMN EAGLE!!

dude....why did you sell? i hope you have a good excuse...

honestly, i want georgia to win too, but i also have never been impressed by greene...which is weird since he's won 40 games...

sold because im not a college fan at heart. i pull for the school i go to, but when i can make that kind of profit, im not gonna turn it down.. plus, i dont get off work til 2, and getting to the stadium is absolute hell.. plus, im going to the falcons game sunday, so ill use that money for gas, subway tix, concessions, etc.. i did go to the auburn/lsu game though.. only got a $50 offer for that ticket

do you guys believe me now? i've been preaching this for weeks. lets recap: usc stuggles with VT, stanford, cal, oregon st. OK struggles with A&M, OSU, kansas st., texas was pretty close, etc. auburn's only close game came against a then top ranked LSU team. and this is coming from someone who hates the SEC...

but there's at least one less unbeaten. that michigan st. team can be very tough, especially with stanton as qb. they aren't even close to being the same team that lost to rutgers first game of the year.

my top 3 are still Auburn, USC, OK.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
