Do yall honestly think the #3 team would stay at #3 after a win @ #1 and with #1, #2, and #3 all ending with the same record? From my perspective, those who believe Arkansas would stay @ #3 are the delusional ones.

Just watch! Hopefully it won't come to that.

I expect Arky would move to #2 in the human polls, but LSU's computer ranking would have LSU at 2. Do you honestly believe Arky would move to #1 over Bama after getting thrashed by them earlier this year? How could a voter put Arky ahead of Bama with a straight face?

BCS ranking is the only ranking that matters. Why would #3 Arkansas jump #2 Bama who throttled Arky this season? Arkansas will need to be more than 1 spot ahead of LSU in the human polls to overcome the huge computer advantage that LSU will have because we didn't play Mizzou St, Troy, New Mexico, and a .500 A&M as our out of conference opponents.

The ONLY scenario that could possibly allow for the team with the best resume at the end of the 2011 regular season which includes (best record vs best SOS) to not play for any championship would be for the voters to penalize that team with the best resume for losing on 11/25/11 instead of 9/24/11.

What would trump (11-1 vs Best SOS)?

Simple reason and way the human voters, 2/3rd of the BCS will advance Arkasnas past Bama with a decent win in Red Stick:

Bama scored three field goals and no offensive TD's against LSU.

If Arkansas' offense is clicking and they beat LSU with multiple TOUCHDOWNS, on the road... at RED STICK. Arkansas moves up.

I know this will hurt Brad Edward's va-jay jay, but it's how the world works.

Hell he's been wrong about Arkansas for the last several weeks, no need for him to be right now.
