Two teams. Two starts. Example No. 2,437 of how college football rankings are screwed up:

Southern California was ranked No. 1 early because it was the “hot” pick. It pummeled Ohio State before losing to unranked Oregon State on Sept. 20. It then dropped to ninth in the Associated Press poll, but beat up a few patsies and recovered so that when the first BCS poll comes out last week it was No. 5. With its toothless schedule it’s in a prime spot for the national championship game.

Florida was ranked No. 4 early because it wasn’t the “hot” pick. It lost to unranked Mississippi on the same Sept. 20. It fell to No. 12. It then beat up previously No. 4 Louisiana State but only recovered to No. 10 in the country when the first BCS poll is released.

Huh?
