Win Orange Bowl, Drop In Polls

How do you win the Orange Bowl, one of the most prestigious of all the college bowl games, a BCS game in and of its own right with a storied tradition, and drop a spot in the college football polls?

Apparently you do it by squeaking by a weak Wake Forest team. Or, could it be you fall a spot following a prestigious bowl victory because sportswriters are still bothered by the fact you couldn't beat a top-20 Rutgers on the road in November?

I suspect it's the latter. But whatever, football polls are wacked. Bring on a playoff system. Had Louisville played Ohio State on Monday night, the Cards would have lit the Buckeyes up for 40 or possibly 50 points. What a win that would have been.

On the other hand, had we had to beat Boise State to get there I'm not sure we'd have made it. Maybe the polls aren't so crazy after all?
