The Terrible Ten is better than the BCS because we have a true title game. The 0-10 Washington Huskies face a 1-10 Washington State Cougars squad called the worst in BCS history.
The Cougars must be really rancid, as winless Washington is a seven-point favorite over the home standing Cougars.
The battle for Washington, the Apple Bowl, could quite possibly be the worst game in NCAA history.
1] Washington State Cougars 1-10
When a winless team is a seven-point favorite over you at home you got serious problems.
2] Washington Huskies 0-10
Fear not Cougars, Tyrone Willingham can always find a way to lose.
3] Syracuse Orange 2-8
Tyrone Willingham has been mentioned as a possible head coach at the Cuse. A twice fired, winless coach roaring in will surely sell many Syracuse season tickets.
4] Michigan Wolverines 3-8
The Wolverine fans expected growing pains, but this nightmare season looks more like dreadful death throes.
5] San Diego State Aztecs 1-10
They are terrible, but they outplayed Notre Dame.
6] SMU Mustangs 1-10
Missing Maui, June?
7] Purdue Boilermakers 3-8
What else can the Purdue players do to torture Joe Tiller as he limps towards retirement? Maybe rip out his fingernails with pliers?
8] North Texas Mean Green 1-10
The Mean Green are nowhere to be seen. They play more like the North Texas Mellow Yellow.
9] Tennessee Volunteers 3-7
After that Wyoming loss, they should have called it a campaign.
10]Notre Dame 6-4
Notre Dame's big wins this year were over the 5-6 Stanford Cardinal and the 6-4 Navy Midshipmen. The teams the Irish beat this year are a combined 18-46 with the 2-8 Syracuse Orange looming. But they have dominated the Terrible Ten, beating four of the worst teams in the nation, with the demoralized Orange waiting to be squeezed.
If they do not beat USC, they should be embarrassed to go to a Bowl. But they will go if only just to notch their 16th bowl loss in a row.

Eastern Michigan (2-8)

Ohio (2-8)

Western Kentucky (2-9)
Tulane (2-8)
Idaho (2-9)
I do agree the Irish have not beaten anyone with a winning record outside of Navy. But the above teams probably deserve the #10 ranking more than the Irish. The Irish have alot of young players who are showing improvement. Going to a Bowl game for the Irish is not as important as the practice time leading up to it. Extra time to continue to develop the young players for the Irish would greatly help in their progression towards next year. If they have the same record coming into the later half of the season next year then yes I would agree they should be ranked where they are.

That is true but it is so much more fun to annoy the Irish fans then say the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers faithful....but I do miss the Idaho Vandals because barbarian tribes in Idaho playing football are so much fun.
And the Idaho Vandals made sure their cheerleaders took the Ho ought of Idaho this as they made their cheerleaders wear new uniforms...as Rightfielders Blog said
"The new Idaho cheerleader uniforms have been fitted, ordered and will be worn in October for the first time. They are 6? longer than the cute versions, remove the team logo from cheerleader ass, and generally look like something your ancestors wore on the Mayflower. They are in black and silver, so picture something resembling a linebacker on the Oakland Raiders.
Just for that move Idaho should have stayed in the Terrible Ten..they shall be honored on the season end edition.

Nevermind what I said before. You can leave them on the list after what I saw today and their loss to Syracuse. I have never seen a team so larthargic in my life. No killer instinct what so ever. They deserve to go to the Motor City Bowl or something.

Yep they are just awful and the man's been there long enough to bring in his boys...and Syracuse has little or no talent on its demoralized roster.
Remember wise Weis quotes.....
"Every game you will have a decided schematic advantage."
"Now it's time for the X's and O's. Let's see who has the advantage now."
21 point favorite on senior day...ouch!

They have no one on that team who can dominate. It is almost as if they have to many upper class football players who think they are owed something rather than blue collar players who work for what they get.
