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

If Va Tech loses it gets interesting... I don't think enough pollsters will move OkS up high enough without a Va Tech loss

probably not, but again, all these people saying okie lite has to blow out Ou blah, blah blah are lying to themselves or being intellectually dishonest because they have an agenda. Sure it is a longshot but it could happen....but all that needs to happen is OSu win and Vt lose. Then i think it is a done deal and OSU is in no if;s ands or buts about it. Bama better be pulling for OU and Vt is all i can say.

This is pure gold coming from a Gump, whose team lost to LSU, and only played, what, THREE teams with winning records?
Are you serious?
LSU played one of the toughest schedules in the country. Way tougher than yours. And you LOST.

which is why they will do it. my point was so many think no matter what happens, them going from#5 to #2 in the human polls is impossible. well, it is not. If the voters feel they deserve it they will make it happen. real simple.

I'm starting to think a lot of voters will push OSU ahead of Bama if they beat OU based on winning their conference. Not that I care, I want us to play whoever is number 2 in the BCS.

F they beat OU, why is that manipulating?
Just vote appropriately.

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.

Oklahoma State will get killed if they play LSU.
ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED..they have no semblance of a decent defense and you will run it down their sissy gullets all day long while curbstomping that offense.
They IMO haven't a prayer. Alabama does. Nothing Alabama has done justifies them being jumped. Nothing.
As far as all this rematch crap goes,we had to beat Florida twice a couple years back to win the SEC and the BCSNC.
All the west coasters had no problem with Oregon getting another shot til they choked it away and neither did the LSU people here.
Bottom line ,you know you can still lose this thing. Only one obstacle in your way and some of you will try to whine and cry your way past it,both here and in the media.
To those that know thw right thing to do is a rematch and have said so,a tip of my cap YOU have a spine.
To those others...PUSSIES.
