re: Question about votes OSU will need to pass Alabama

I mean, I can see the side for how they could be deserving of the 2 spot over Alabama. Just like how I see Alabama's case for the 2 spot.

I agree.
The problem is that I can also just as easily see the reasoning behind "best team" voters that have ballots which look like this too:

1 LSU
2 Alabama
3 Stanford
4 Virginia Tech
5 Oklahoma St


Stanford almost certainly has to lose and probably Virginia Tech since some voters already seem to like them and they have solid wins coming up.
Hell, there may even be a handful of Houston and/or Boise St votes ahead of them. Also, will some southern voters still keep Arkansas above them if the LSU games' close and Arky has only lost to #1 and #2 instead of Iowa St? A few is certainly possible and even defensible.

My point isn't about one detail but that all the people claiming how good of a shot Oklahoma St has simply points out any reason for them possibly gaining poll points but effaces all the possible things taking them away.

If Stanford and VT lose then I can see where it may get close. Otherwise I just can't see it.
