We will go to the Rose in these scenarios. Who do you project the Rose to take in these cases? About the only scenario where the Rose will not...
Right now out of the 4 at-large, Michigan and Boise are in. Assuming USC wins, the Rose will pick 2 at-large before anyone else. Michigan for...
If Mich is ranked 3rd, they would qualify under paragraph No. 5. No. 6 is explicitly conditioned on whether or not a team qualifies under...
If Mich is ranked 3rd, then they would get the automatic bid under #5. #6 comes into play only if no team qualifies under item 5. So if Mich is...
After some more thought, I agree with you that there's a very good chance that we would be picked over ND, but it's only because of the fortunate...
We certainly have a shot, but if there is rematch between Mich and OSU it is more likely that the SEC will only get one team in the BCS. We would...
Michigan had not been particularly successful (by Mich standards) prior to Bo's hiring. Bo's influence on the program was enormous. While others...
Even if they do, it will only matter if Bama beats AU. In a 3-way tie with Ark losing to MSU and us, Ark would be eliminated first due to a 3-2...

This gets to my point that they currently rank teams based on real games each week. If a team is recognized as a really good team in the first...
I agree that no one is implying that preseason polls are all that matter, they are flat out declaring it in the context of the thread. Several...
Okay, I'll rephrase it. How do you increase the objectivity of something that can only be subjective? And why wouldn't a poll in the current...
Yes, I know what he meant, but it's obvious you don't get what I'm getting at. In this thread I've asked how could AU catch OU in the AP if...
I guess you learn something everyday. All you have to do to convert a subjective poll into an objective poll is not to do a preseason poll. And...
