re: Question about votes OSU will need to pass Alabama

Alabama's and OSU's computer strengths are pretty much gonna stay the same. They will move a little and hopefully Alabama will gain ground but I doubt it.

I think the numbers will actually have OSU gain a slight bit more of a lead due to playing OU compared to playing Auburn.

Ok now we have human voters. Alabama is dominating 2nd place votes. And have none worse than 3rd. OSU has mostly 6th place votes and some 7th place votes too The computers are what's even keeping them 4th right now.

Ok OSU needs 1/3 2nd place votes and the rest 3rd place votes. People who are voting OSU 4th 5th 6th and 7th in the polls will have to go frick this we're voting OSU 2nd. And then the rest of em will have to vote 3rd.

OSU just lost, a lot of that dropping is reactionary to the crazy weekend we just went through. Also keep in mind that the Big 12 appears to be a very strong conference this year, and they would have won the Big 12 title against another "big name" rival on a weekend where Bama sits idle.

You're also going to get more of things like Herbstreit going off on voters for putting Virginia Tech at #4 with their joke of a schedule. My personal opinion is that OSU will be a solid #3 if they beat OU and voters look at the whole season. For the question posed, I believe every #4 vote OSU gets means they have to get another #2 vote over what they needed (estimated at 26% I believe).
