THE BATTALION Tuesday, December 2, 2003
USC maintains
lead over LSU
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LSU narrowed Southern
California’s lead for second place
in the BCS standings Monday but
still needs some help to play for
the national championship in the
Sugar Bowl.
The Trojans (11-1) hold a
1.53-point lead over the Tigers
(11-1) going into the final week
of the regular season, down from
2.15 a week ago.
The top two teams in the final
Bowl Championship Series
standings Sunday will play for
the title in New Orleans on Jan. 4.
Oklahoma (12-0) maintained
its grip on the top spot with a
nearly five-point lead over USC
and would likely remain in the
top two even with a loss
Saturday to Kansas State in the
Big 12 championship game.
The Sooners are a unanimous
No. 1 in The Associated Press
media and USA Today/ESPN
coaches’ polls and the top team
in all seven BCS computers.
They have a 1.0 for poll average,
1.0 for computer-rank average,
0.56 for strength of schedule,
zero for losses and 0.5 bonus
points for beating sixth-place
Texas for a 2.06.
USC has a one-point lead in
the polls over LSU, has a 0.25
advantage in the computers and
a 0.68 lead in strength of sched
ule. The Tigers have a 0.4 bonus
for a quality win over Georgia.
While LSU would gain in the
computers and strength of
schedule by beating the
Bulldogs (10-2), the Tigers
would also be penalized because
Georgia would drop — costing
them quality-win points.
A win by Syracuse over
Notre Dame would be a big help
for the Tigers, likely moving
them to second in the Colley
Matrix computer if they can beat
Georgia. USC beat Notre Dame
earlier this year.
“I think our focus needs to be
on the game that we are playing
and what is in front of us and
nothing else,” LSU coach Nick
Saban said. “I think that when
you start thinking of those other
things, which I have referred to
on occasion as clutter, it affects
your ability to perform like you
need to.”
USC finishes the season at
home against Oregon State (7-4)
on Saturday.
Michigan remained fourth
and is in the best position to
move up to second if USC and
LSU both lose. Ohio State is
fifth, followed by Texas,
Georgia, Florida State,
Tennessee and Miami.
The BCS was started five
years ago to create a national
title game without playoffs.
Champions of six conferences
— the ACC, Big East, Big Ten,
Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC —
qualify for a BCS game, and two
at-large teams are selected to fill
out the field.
The BCS formula uses the AP
media and USA Today/ESPN
coaches’ polls, seven computer
rankings, strength of schedule,
losses and a bonus-point system
for quality wins.
The seven computer rankings
are operated by Anderson &
Hester, Billingsley, Colley
Matrix, Kenneth Massey, The
New York Times, Jeff Sagarin’s
U$A Today and Peter Wolfe.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Duncan suspended
for one game
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - San
Antonio forward Tim Duncan was
suspended for one game Monday
for bumping into a referee during
the Spurs’ 91-89 loss at Golden
State over the weekend.
The suspension without pay was
issued by Stu Jackson, the NBA’s
senior vice president for basketball
operations.
Duncan, the league’s MVP the
past two seasons, was to sit out
Monday night’s game in Los
Angeles against the Clippers. He
will be back in uniform for San
Antonio’s home contest
Wednesday against the Los
Angeles Lakers.
Duncan was setting a pick late in
the third quarter of Saturday
night’s game near the Spurs’ 3-
point line when he gave a little
nudge to referee Jack Nies, who
had gotten tangled up with anoth
er player and couldn't get out of
Duncan’s way.
Nies, who sprawled to the floor,
immediately hit Duncan with a
technical foul.
Carr still on track to
start this weekend
HOUSTON (AP) - David Carr
intends to start this weekend after
fighting through a pain-filled
Sunday afternoon where he was
called upon unexpectedly to rally
the Texans, sprained right shoul
der and all.
“If we can get my shoulder back
to where it is at least 90 percent,
then I can go out there and help
this team win,” Carr said Monday.
“We’re kind of in a tough spot with
the quarterback position, so if I
can help then I will.”
That “tough spot” means Tony
Banks, who started three games
while Carr has been sidelined and
played more than a half in two oth
ers, is out for the season after
breaking his right hand in Sunday’s
17-13 victory over Atlanta.
Houston improved to 5-7 and set
a new high in victories for the sec
ond-year franchise.
Rookie Dave Ragone, a left-han
der who has not yet played a game,
slides into the No. 2 slot. Veteran
backup Mike Quinn, who is 2-of-3
in his six-year career and has not
thrown an NFL pass since 1998.
