    I still don't see Miami OH passing USC in these 2 computer polls. They are just a tad too far behind. It's possible, but not likely.

    I have posted this very scenario on more than one occasion. The pollsters can put Miami OH high enough in the polls to assure tey finish in 10th spot ahead of Georgia. Don't be surprised if they do just that.

    So let's just have a far superior Boise State beat Hawaii and end it all. Then the pollsters would have to drop LSU to 4th in one of the polls in order for the beloved USC to go to the Sugar.

    Rich Tellshow says that these Div I-AA playoffs do not count at all. So I think Mr. Palm has it wrong. And if you think about it logically, how can they count? I mean let's say W. Illinois would have won today, then we would have to wait to see what they do in next weeks game to decide the BCS winner if it was that close? I think not.

    Good point, but I still want to know how, after recalculating the figures, Tellshow can show a "noticeable" closing of the gap b/w Miami and Ga yet NOT show a related increased chance of Miami finishing 3rd ahead of SC in two computer polls.

    I am annoyed, however, that I have to stay up half the night just to be sure about Boise, though.

    Just sent this to Jerry Palm:

    "Jerry,

    No offense, but are you SURE a Div. 1-AA playoff game would factor into any of the comp. polls? That, frankly, makes no sense: what if W. Illinois had won today? If Div. 1-AA opponents factor in, then (logically) no BCS ranking should be "final" until all BCS ranked teams with Div 1-AA opponents have those opponents out of the playoffs.

    Seems to be a sloppy, even illogical thing to include these teams in a SoS calculation at this juncture of the season. "

    TejasTiger, your avator looks like a cross between Nick Saban and Bob Hope. :)

    Here's Palm's response. Hopefully, this bullsh** won't come into play:
