Depends.

Human polls both dropped Bama by 2. Computers by 1. Was enough to push only to 3rd merely because human polls were split on OK St and Stanford being 2nd/3rd and the computers absolutely HATED Stanford that week.

The human polls won't be kind to LSU. The computer polls are going to be a bit of a mystery depending on other games as well. It will come down to how unanimous of votes there are between the human polls in the top 5, and how it coincides with the corresponding computer rankings for each of those teams.

Good God! That's a stupid statement.

Bama dropped 2 spots.
LSU is the first 1.000 BCS team in 5yrs, and only the second ever. Given an OT loss, you think LSU would drop further than the 2 spots Bama did?

How unkind could they be? Even if they all ranked us #3 and Arkie #2, we'd still be ahead in the BCS. The only way anyone could rank us lower than #3 would be to just get ridiculous about it to push an agenda, which they generally don't do. They do push an agenda sometimes, but they generally don't get ridiculous about it.

Only a small amount of mystery there. The other games' impact will be only slight, and even then only if they go wildly against what we need.
