re: BCS hypothetical

lsu would still have the edge in the computer polls, so it would take the majority of voters in both polls to move lsu behind arkansas.

remember its not just where you were ranked but how many votes you get in each poll at each spot.

its way more complicated than you are making it to seem. also, the voters will recognize they are basically determining the likely national title competitors with that vote, since espn will DRILL that into out heads over the air waves.
