First rankings come out tomorrow night. 1. LSU 2. Alabama 3. Oklahoma LSU will certainly be #1, as we will be ranked #1 in all the computer polls. Alabama and OU are going to be close, but the edge in the computers goes to Bama. Using the current Coaches poll and then using the AP in place of the Harris poll (the voting for Coaches should remain almost identical as all 3 teams dominated) ....................Coaches AP Comp Final LSU................ .9559 .9820 1.000 = .979 Bama.............. .9546 .9567 .9500 = .959 Oklahoma ........ .9634 .9313 .9200 = .938 I would be a bit surprised if the Harris Poll doesn't mirror the AP with LSU as a resounding #1. OU may steal some first place votes from Bama, making it that much closer for 2nd overall in the BCS. Edit: Harris poll finally came out and mimics the AP poll, as expected. So my projections stand as stated, except for some very slight tweaks based on Harris poll numbers to replace the AP poll I used in it's stead. Replacing AP with Harris ....................Coaches Harris Comp Final LSU................ .9559 .9780 1.000 = .978 Bama.............. .9546 .9489 .9500 = .951 Oklahoma ........ .9634 .9440 .9200 = .942
Since that ominous national championship game, the longhorns have had a collective emotional breakdown.
