The Bowl Championship Series poll is as biased as the sky is blue.

Sometimes you can only equate the frustration of the BCS poll to taking your head and hitting it against the wall repeatedly - both cause the same excruciating headache.

I eagerly went online Sunday hoping to see the Gators ranked in the top five, six or seven of the BCS.

I was in complete disbelief when I saw the Gators in the 10th slot.

It doesn't really matter right now, but what does it say when a polling system ranks us disturbingly lower than every other ranking system?

How is it OK for UF to be placed 10th when the Gators had such an accomplishment against then-No. 4 LSU?

What are we supposed to think when Ohio State - the most worthless team in college football - got severely beaten by Southern Cal just over a month ago, has not played a top-15 team since and is still ranked higher than UF?

Yes, the Gators lost a game, but if I remember correctly, they lost by one point - not 7, not 28 and not 69 (as USC so immaturely beat up on Washington State without remorse).

The only word that can describe how I feel about this every-year-it's-the-same-bull-BCS polling system is "jaded."

When will the constant complaints of fans actually get the attention of the people pulling the strings?
