Funny how the BCS has it right and the human polls have it wrong.  Although I can see why the pollsters ranked SC behind Oklahoma.  But one can make the argument that with SC healthy, no team is playing better football in the nation.  I guess it comes down to whether you rank teams by what they've done or by the way they're playing.
