I don't think that many people understand that being #3 in the human polls does not equal being 2/3 better than #4. Ark is only 2/3 better than osu if they get every single voters 3rd place vote and osu gets every single 4th place vote.


Sadly, this seems to be a big issue here.

OK state will be 4, but a win over oklahoma would make things interesting for them next week if LSU beats Arkansas.

computers will have a say in the end

The fact that you have posted "standford" twice in this thread leads me to believe you have no clue how the BCS works, much less the specifics of the computer polls.


Well let us remind you how the SRANT works.

Okie State was 1-2. Arkansas was 5-7. Assuming Oregon and Oklahoma fall out, it will be interesting to see how close the teams are in their computer ranking.

I don't know. This slackster guy is changing my opinion. I guess it's just hard to think about that retarded shite happening.

Kudos on the strong arguments.

Does this mean that I should go ahead and apologize in advance for the fit I'll throw if OSU is ranked #3 tomorrow?

The 2/3 poll contingent will drop them...and Stanford is already so low at 9 and just like Oregons uphill battle before they lost, the whole pac12 SOS is putrid at best so Stanford will move up but not high enough

Ok St drops to at least 6, I know how the comp ranks work and their SOS and wins were already weak they were just undefeated......It's gonna be SEC West top 3, I'd be absolutely shocked if it isn't

OKST should be No. 2 in BCS computers, so if Pokes are No. 4 in the polls, they could be No. 3 in BCS, ahead of ARK

I believe you more than any other drunk ranters here when you say Arky will not be #3


Not so fast my friend. I am not saying it is set in stone, however I am preparing Hog fans for what is a very possible scenario tomorrow.

These idiots want to punish OSU, but they fail to realize that the #4 and #5 teams also lost, as well as the #7 team. Stanford is not going to jump ahead of OSU in my opnion.

If there is any doubt amongst the pollsters as to whether OSU or Arky should be #3, OSU will get in ahead of Arky. Arky needs the entire country to put them at #3.

I think it is naive to think that everyone will just put 3 SEC teams in the top 3 spots in their polls. Is that wrong, probably, but I do not think it will be unanimous amongst the pollsters and OSU has a decided advantage in the computers.

And Slackster is not saying its definite...only possible. It's difficult to predict 3-4 in the polls because so many voters have differing opinions.

Tough to figure where voters will put OKST, but if STAN wins, I'm projecting LSU, Bama, ARK to be 1-2-3 in BCS

We will be the unanimous #3 in the polls.

Stanford and OSU will split #4 spot in the polls.

We'll be #3 in the BCS.
