re: LSU is in the SEC Championship as long as Bama wins Saturday

if the human polls have OSU at #3 if they beat OU than bama fans should start getting nervous

I agree, if OSU can get back up to #3 in the polls, then it will be close between Alabama and OSU. They would have to be a very strong 3 with some 2nd place votes. They need almost everyone to vote them over Stanford and Va Tech too, which are currently ahead of them (this is assuming Arkansas loses of course).

Bama will likely be a full spot behind OSU in the computer polls if both teams win out. That means Bama needs to be higher than OSU on 2 out of every 3 ballots. 40 in the Coaches' poll and z7 in the Harris poll would do it.

As for Arky fans, I am really not trying to be a dick or troll, I am simply stating the very likely scenarios. Arky does not control its own destiny at this point in the SEC or the BCS. They desparately need Auburn to win. It is ironic! But Arky should pull for Auburn and Bama should pull for LSU. Remember, this focuses on the November 27th rankings.

Arkansas fans do have one other out that I forgot to mention in the OP. It is conceivable that if Arkansas wins and Bama wins this weekend, and LSU wins in the SECCG, AND OSU loses to OU, Arky could vault ahead of Bama and into the #2 spot in the computers. The win over a 12-1 LSU team will go a long way in the computers, especially if PSU loses out. That may give Arkansas a fighting chance in the final BCS rankings at the #2 spot, meaning Bama could fall from #1 to #3 in a week without playing a game. Not very likely, but there is a better chance of that than there is of Stanford or VT getting in the game.
