re: ULTIMATE LSU-BAMA Rematch Discussion Thread (ALL POSTS HERE)

After some discussion on the Tiger Rant, some interesting math came to my attention that I'm sure is Germans over here as well, but here it is anyway:

Assuming LSU, Bama, and Okie St win out, the difference between Bama and Okie St could be something like this:

Assuming a consensus at each position:
Team Coaches/Harris/Computers = composite
Bama #2/#2/#3 = .9466 ([.96+.96+.92]/3)
Okie St #3/#3/#2 = .9333 ([.92+.92+.96]/3)

If Okie St snags 25% of the second place votes:
Bama .94 ([.95+.95+.92]/3)
Okie St .94 ([.93+.93+.96]/3)

These are "round" numbers, but should give everybody an idea of how close this could be after 12/3.
