| 23 | Nebraska | 10-3 | 227 |
| 24 | San Jose State | 10-2 | 157 |
| 25 | Kent State | 11-2 | 117 |
As you can see, USC seems to have been the biggest disappointment of the season, but no worries, they aren't alone in that category for sure.
No doubt this was an interesting season, as Alabama stayed on top of the BCS rankings longer than ever before, then fell off as Oregon and K-State rose to the top, who then fell off as Notre Dame rose to the top, as Alabama found a way past Georgia in the SEC title game and back into the BCS Championship game.
Currently the bowl games are being released and personally I am excited to see Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl.
