So beating a Big 10 division leading Penn State on the road in front of 101K opposing fans, is not as big of a win as a victory as beating a team with a losing record on a neutral site? Come on, man.

It's as if you are under the impression you played a close game to Bama. You didn't. You got HANDLED by 24 points. You don't have the "we lost by 3 in OT to the #1 team" argument. You have the "we got humiliated by 24 to the #2 team" agrument. Not quite as powerful.

If a&m beats Texas this week (likely) and Penn st loses to wiscy (highly likely), a&m should have a higher computer rating pretting much across the board.

I stated that Bama has an advantage in OOC wins. My point was that this advantage is minimal, which it is, and it shouldn't outweigh the first 3 reasons why Arkansas should be ranked in the top 2.

That did happen. Arkansas lost to Bama.

What also happened:
-Bama lost to LSU
-In this hypothetical, Arkansas beats LSU.
-Bama got both games at home, Arky got both on the road.
-Arkansas finished the season on a 8 game winning streak with win @ #1, Bama finishes on a 3 game winning streak.
-Bama and Arkansas are both 11-1.
-Arkansas faced one of the two ranked teams from the East and beat them, Bama didn't.
