I wouldn't say the computers hate Arkansas. With a win friday we should have the same computer average as bama.
But either way, LSU would kill you in the computers, and Bama would kill you with the voters.

Alot of people who watched your game with Vandy consider that a loss....

We're 10-1, ranked #3, and I'm saying that IF Arkansas wins @ #1 LSU, we should be in top 2. There is not a damn thing delusional about it.

We beat #2 Bama @ Bama...remind me how many spots they dropped.
You really need to study the BCS some more. There's a little thing called strength of schedule. Just because your team has a great day and ours is flat and you squeak out a win even in our house..doesnt mean you deserve squat. We've been playing and beating the big boys all year long.

No you won't...stop dreaming...bring your best to Tiger Stadium...beat LSU...then and only then can you talk !

I do see AR going to #2 in the human polls, but being jumped by the computers, putting AR at #3 BCS, if they beat LSU.

Do yall honestly think the #3 team would stay at #3 after a win @ #1 and with #1, #2, and #3 all ending with the same record? From my perspective, those who believe Arkansas would stay @ #3 are the delusional ones.

Fair enough. I don't even really care about anything else if we beat lsu this season.

Just watch! Hopefully it won't come to that.

Arkansas faced one of the two ranked teams from the East and beat them
So did Auburn.
If anyone wants to look at common opponents, as they often do when comparing Bama and LSU, they will see that (other than MSU) Bama dramatically outplayed the common opponents.
You squeaked by Ole Miss (Bama won by 45) and Vandy (Bama won by 34).

Bama has the margin's of victory in its favor. Margin of victory is not nearly as important as the facts listed in the OP, however.

I've watched Arkansas barely escape by the skins of their balls against Texas A&M, Vandy, and Ole Miss. Meanwhile LSU has blown out everyone they have played minus Alabama who blew out Arky.

BCS ranking is the only ranking that matters. Why would #3 Arkansas jump #2 Bama who throttled Arky this season? Arkansas will need to be more than 1 spot ahead of LSU in the human polls to overcome the huge computer advantage that LSU will have because we didn't play Mizzou St, Troy, New Mexico, and a .500 A&M as our out of conference opponents.

is it wrong that a small part of me wants LSU to lose Friday just so i can see the meltdown on here when LSU drops to #2 and still goes to the SECCG
