What's the Craziest Thing You've seen in the Polls?

We all know the BCS is messed up in real life, but the BCS on this game is really messed up. I mean REALLY REALLY messed up. In week 8 of our OD, A+ overall UGA was 6-1 and unranked, yet there were 3 or 4 teams in the top 25 with 2 losses. VA Tech was 6-1 and ranked 10th in the country.......4 spots ahead of 6-1 Auburn.......the team that beat them. Auburn was ranked 14th.......7 spots higher than 6-1 Rutgers......the team that beat THEM.

We are now in week 11 and 8-2 Miami is ranked 4th ahead of 9-1 Oklahoma, 9-1 Texas, 9-0 TCU, and 10-1 Auburn. WTF? Potentially, a 2 loss team could get into the championship game ahead of 3 1 loss teams and 1 undefeated team. Now I understand the TCU thing, but if Oklahoma, Texas, and Auburn all have just 1 loss, there is no way a 2 loss Miami should jump in front of all of them.

Anyway, what are some crazy circumstances that yall have seen in these polls?

Re: What's the Craziest Thing You've seen in the Polls?

Let's see:
  • USC was #25 even though they had a 1-4 record
  • Central Michigan keeps going 13-0 and making to the Rose Bowl
  • Florida and USC were #1 and #2 respectively. I had an unbeaten Penn State team. Florida and SC both lost, but they only switched positions. WTF?

Re: What's the Craziest Thing You've seen in the Polls?

TCU went undefeated in year 2(they had a very weak schedule, only team that they played that was respectable was Utah who had 9 wins)
and was ranked #1 and beat Clemson in the National Championship.
TCU was ranked #1 probably starting around week 8 or 9 when Clemson lost their only game in the regular season.
