It depends on whether or not Bama is #2 in the Wolfe poll, which no one really knows for sure

Kindaish. We still don't really know what the computer rankings are outside of rumors.

Yes, if bama is 2 in the harris they are in no matter what.

There is even a margin where they can be 3 in the harris and still go depending on where the computer polls lie.

According to Edwards, if Alabama is 2 in the Wolfe and the Sagarin computers, Okie St will have to jump Bama in the Harris Poll to jump them in the BCS.

I thought the wolfe poll almost takes Alabama over the top no? As in makes it REALLY hard for OSU to have a chance.

They are two in the coach's

If the Harris also has them at 2, it doesn't matter where the computers are.

No computer is going to push OSU to 1, or Bama to 4 to make up the difference in the people polls.

This is correct. Okie st would need 60 2nd place votes and 55 3rd place votes. Assuming Bama gets the rest of the 2nd and 3rd place votes.

I think if Wolfe has Alabama #2, then OSU can actually be 5 or so points ahead of Bama in the Harris poll.

If it has Bama at #2 as rumored. If it has OSU at #2 as people projected prior to today then they would only need to do marginally better in the Harris than they did in the coaches, which doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

Yes it does. If Okie st is a unanimous 2 in the comps, their corresponding bcs rating for this is .96 while bama's is .92. They would just need to be within about 50 points of bama in the harris to get to #2 overall.

With the way the numbers are leveling out, Bama should be good to go.

However, we obviously have know way of knowing with 100% certainty as ESPN has undoubtedly paid some of these polls out the arse to allow them to cover it first. Basically, so they can get the most out of the show tonight

You guys can breathe a bit easier now.

I'd say it's a 50/50 shot. All depending on the wolfe poll. If yall get that then it's prolly like a 90/10 shot in yall favor.

It all depends on the computers.

And the fact is, that rumors aside, we don't know where they are.



I would give Bama a 60:40 favor at this point
