i know that. you know that. brad edwards knows that. and even said as much in the post you quoted. everyone knows that. so i guess the real question is...what is the purpose of your post? to tell us all (including brad edwards) something we already knew?
The OP put it in a format that insinuated that Edwards was confused by bracketing the event of an Alabama loss with discussion of three way tie scenarios. Edwards is a fairly eloquent guy, and wouldn't sound like that rantarded quotation, though it is exactly the sort of thing you see requoted later verbatim.
An ounce of prevention now is worth a pound of curing rantarded repetition later.

LSU will not receive 1 single vote over Arkansas in human polls with a loss to them.
Since this is hypothetical, I need an LSU fan to please explain to me how a, what would then be 11-1 Arky with a win over the #1 ranked LSU team would remain at #3? Or are you saying that with an Arky win it will be #1 Arky, #2 LSU, and #3 Bama, which I guess is possible but not likely? Because if you're saying that if you lose to Arky it will be #1 Bama, #2 LSU, #3 Arky or #1 LSU, #2 Arky, #3 Bama, well that's just stupid. NO WAY that happens.

In 2/3 of the polling, Arkansas will be ahead of LSU. LSU will not have a single fricking #1 vote. Not one.

actually there is a very good chance it falls out
bama
lsu
arkansas
in the bcs on sunday even if arkansas wins. if you cant grasp that you dont know how the bcs works.
take a look at oklahoma state. currently #6 in the humans polls. #4 in the BCS.
why...becuase of their computer score.

Because, for some stupid reason, it's not how you lose...it's when you lose.

*Even switch LSU and Arky at 2-3 in the polls - the votes will be close enough that our computer advantage would push us ahead

very possible except LSU would go the SECCG. Not bama.

oh Lord

Again, in 2/3 of polls Arkansas will be ahead of LSU.
There has never been a single instance in history that the #3 team won at #1, and #1 stayed ahead of the team that it just lost to. It has never happened.
That leaves the other 1/3.
Even in a worst case scenario for Arkansas, we are the BCS #2.
I can't emphasize enough how little I care about going to a BCSNC play-in game with Georgia. I'm fine going to the BCSNC and not playing for the conference title.

do you even understand how the human polls work?
It's not cut and dry you are 2/3 ahead in the polls. If you think that then that is why you dont understand the BCS.

ALL 3 teams will get 1st place votes if Arky beats LSU, in a relatively close game. ALL 3 teams.

Correct
Ok State is #2 in the computers and are #4 in the BCS while being ranked 6th in 2/3 human votes. So with LSU having a vastly superior computer score than Ark, even with a loss we will jump you. What people don't realize is the formula breaks down actual votes not poll location.
What's puzzling me is what took Edwards so long to finally determine this.
