Such is the tragedy that is the BCS...
While I agree with you, this is the AP poll, which is completely unaffiliated with the BCS. This is just an example of writers and opinion makers that have their lips so firmly locked around the Buckeye cock, that they can't see the obvious... Go figure...
I'm sure we'll have plenty to shoot at when that bastard poll DOES come out....
