Well if OU plays both teams this season, then its a wash as far as SOS goes in the computer polls. But if Colorado dropping out of the top 25 in the computer polls will give OU one less top 25 win in those polls that use that as part of their formula, then it would hurt OU. But then again, KState could replace Colorado in the top 25 theorectically, and thus be a wash once again. I am not sure where these teams are ranked, so I just speak hypothetically. Comprende'? Just know that SOS and top 10 and top 25 wins are important. And its not IF you were in the top 10/25 at the time of defeat, but where you are in the current week's polls. So apply accordingly. Rinse. Repeat. blah blah blah
Ohio State: key victories: Washington, Purdue Key upcoming games: Penn State, Michigan, Illinois,Wisconsin Boston College: key victories:Georgia Tech key upcoming games:Va Tech (their sched is weak) South Florida: key victories:Auburn, West Virginia key upcoming games: Rutgers, Cincinnati, Louisville Oregon: key victories:Michigan key losses: Cal key upcoming games: USC, AZ state, UCLA Oklahoma: key victories:Texas, Miami, Missouri key losses: Colorado key upcoming games:no key games South Carolina: key victories:Georgia, Kentucky key losses: LSU key upcoming games:Tennesee, Florida Outside looking in....Florida, Cal, USC, W. Virginia, Kansas
I think this is going to be very tough on all voters. They all have to ask themselves the same questioin. Who do I vote into the NC game? So it's almost like "who do I want to play each other"? Can't wait to see it.
Would ESPN get off Oklahoma's jock strap they are not the best team in the nation.They have an ONE GAME SEASON EVERY YEAR They Beat Texas by 1one Touchdown,and Lost to an unranked Colorado and Miami just lost again and they play nobody else on their schedule.
I'm going to say LSU will probably be between 5 to 7 in the computers. Should be the strongest of the one loss teams in terms of schedule strength. I have no clue what to expect from the pollsters. I would have thought we'd drop to No. 7 or worse, but if it looks anything like Herbstreit and Corso's ballot, we have a shot at staying in the Top 5. All I know is one thing, if USC didn't drop past 7 with losing to Stanford, there's no way in hell we should drop more than that.
I still contend we are #4. But now looking at South Florida's wins over WVU and Auburn, maybe USF scoots past us as well in the BCS tomorrow. All depends on if they keep us ahead of USF in the human polls tomorrow.
http://www.tigerforums.com/tigers-den/59937-unofficial-bcs-week-6-a.html Looking at Billingsley, I think we'll be No. 2 in that one this week. Kentucky only lost 5 points in his system for losing to No. 11 South Carolina, so I think LSU would only lose about 5 or 6 for losing to No. 10 Kentucky. I think Ohio State jumps us, being only 5 off, but South Florida at 3 is 17 points behind, and I don't think a win over UCF will get them the difference.
