If there are two undefeated BCS teams especially tOSU and FSU, no one loss team will jump them.


Check the numbers. It will be very close. We moved 99 pts closer to OSU this week in the Coaches. Beat Bama and Mizzou? Watch out.

Right. People seem to struggle with the idea of a mathematical formula, and either focus exclusively on human voter behavior, or overemphasize the computers. 2/3 human polls, based NOT on the ranking, but vote totals. And 1/3 computers. If the third ranked team in the Coaches and Harris is reasonably close, and a sharp difference in the computers, that's all it takes. BUT you need to distance yourselves above the other one loss teams. Oregon and Stanford picking up that second loss REALLY helps auburn and/or Missouri in this discussion, because it keeps them from losing votes and/or computer rankings to yet another team.
