If Oregon beats Stanford, they will easily jump Arkansas. It's really a trevesty that Ark is ahead of the Ducks right now.

You just fought for your wallowing lives against Ole Miss and Vanderbilt in consecutive weeks.

In the name of humanity- worry about South Carolina for now. You will have your shot at LSU the day after Thanksgiving- we promise.

I don't know if it is that easy to conclude. We'd have more notable wins and have the edge on them in rankings as-is.

Reading comprehension is obviously not one of your strong suits.

Okay- I was trying to be nice and offer some good advice- but you've managed to force my hand.

You're going to lose by three TDs in Baton Rouge.

Happy now?

is there a possibility that LSU, Bama, and Arkansas could make up the top 3 of the BCS?



NO

That was one of his conditions.

I think Oregon puts up a ton of points on Stanfords defense, and vice versa. That game could go either way.

Whoever wins it will stay/move above Arky nonetheless, making his argument a moot point.

No offense but right now we should be more concerned about seeing 4 full qtrs of execution than pondering rankings.

The only way we jump an Oregon team with a win at Stanford and an undefeated Boise is with a win at lsu, not before.

In case you haven't heard LSU has a game coming up this weekend in a little place called Bryant-Denny.

Wait your turn...we'll get to you soon enough.

I actually think Stanford might beat Oregon and lose to notre dame.

Just kidding, man.


On a serious note, yes- anything is possible. But that's an awful lot of star-aligning.

You're in the same boat as the rest of us right now: The best case scenario is just keep winning and not worry about the things your team can't control....

There seems to be a trend of LSU and Bama fans being absolutely incapable of deciphering a few simple sentences.

Nowhere in this thread did I brag, gloat, or talk smack to any team. I am simply asking if, hypothetically, a few things happen could there be a chance that the top 3 teams in the BCS come from the same division at one point in time this season. In this case, Alabama, LSU, and "Team A". "Team A" has no affiliation with Arkansas beyond playing an identical schedule with identical results.

I'm not worrying. Merely speaking in hypotheticals. I honestly don't expect all of these things to happen, and I don't expect to go into LSU and win, even if we are ranked as high as 3.

All I'm getting at is that it would be the first time I've ever heard of 1,2, and 3 coming from the same division. Talk about all the hate we would get from other conferences.

I'm not sure what you want out of this thread? Yeah, OK, if every team in front of Arky loses a couple of more games, then Arky will climb to the top of the standings. Happy?

That's just the way the Rant works man. You ask a serious question and you get 10 douche bag responses that you have to dig through to find the one serious one. Happens to almost every thread. Happy hunting though.

Arky better start beating the shite out of teams like ole miss, vandy and a&m to get that kind of respect.
