wow. This is EXACTLY what I have been telling people. If okie lite wins(regardless of score) and VT loses plenty voters will do what needs to be done to get them to #2. and they have a argument which has been laid out here and by that harris poll voter.

From your link:
On this last one I think the CW was that tOSU would beat Florida and probably very handily. But most people did seem happier to avoid a rematch even tho tOSU and Michigan were regarded as the best two teams in the country prior to the bowl games
quote:
All season long, it’s been the Big XII, not the SEC, that has been the top rated conference. The Big XII has had eight of their ten teams ranked in the Top 25 at some point in time. And remember the SEC’s ranking is based in part on the strength of Georgia and South Carolina….two teams that Alabama did not play. I don’t see how the voters can justify leaving out the champion of the strongest conference in favor of a team that didn’t win its division.
quote:
It is the opinion of many that Alabama is the second best team in the nation. And, that might be true. But, at the end of the day, it’s an opinion. It is the opinion of many that Alabama would give LSU a better game than Oklahoma State. And, that might be true. But, at the end of the day, it’s an opinion. But now let’s look at facts. FACT: LSU has not beaten Oklahoma State. FACT: LSU has beaten Alabama.
quote:
In 2006, Michigan and Ohio State, both undefeated and ranked 1-2, played for the Big Ten title. OSU won, narrowly. No rematches, everyone screamed and voted Florida ahead of Michigan. We don’t know if OSU can beat Florida, the pundits said, but they’ve already beaten Michigan
On this last one I think the CW was that tOSU would beat Florida and probably very handily. But most people did seem happier to avoid a rematch even tho tOSU and Michigan were regarded as the best two teams in the country prior to the bowl games

OPINION VS FACT—It is the opinion of many that Alabama is the second best team in the nation. And, that might be true. But, at the end of the day, it’s an opinion.

Another Harris Poll voter has not mailed in his ballot:
quote:Uh oh.
As a Harris poll voter, I’ll say it publicly now. If Oklahoma State defeats Oklahoma this week, I’ll vote them second in my poll. I have four good reasons why.
I have stated weeks ago I really don’t want to see a rematch. But, I’m putting personal feelings aside here and looking at facts. I wonder if the other voters in the Harris and USA Today polls are doing the same.
