hey islstl....are you getting paid for your analysis? You need to PM Brett about this...it is flat out wrong Bra! Ramah, though disliked, makes TF.com fun, along with TE, SABAN FAN, and the rest of you drunkards. Much love to you all on this great night for LSU!
That would only give OU a 6.30 BCS score.....OU would have to drop to 2nd in 2 computer polls, I don't see that happening either....so they probably would have to finish of 5th in both polls
I love Ramah.....you need a bouncing board....and he is great at deflecting info and sending it back your way with alternative ways of looking at it....it's a beautiful process
I think LSU will be #1 in at least one of the two human polls. The Tigers dominated a top 5 team for the second time this year. USC gave up 500 yards of offense and didn't look as dominating as the score indicated. LSU is undoubtedly the better team. Assuming USC finishes #1 in the polls but LSU plays OU for the NC, there won't be a split NC 'cause Michigan will pimp the Trojans. I just don't think USC is one of the top 2, no make that 3, teams in the country. I frequent a non-sports related message board that has a sports forum and everyone except the resident USC fan lists LSU as their #1 team. I think LSU won over enough voters to take the top spot in at least one of the two polls and maybe both.
No I ain't gettin paid....but maybe next year I will design my own BCS website....ya'll gonna give up some duckies to me?
islstl, after having read your posts this week, you deserve a Chinese Bandits "bow" from the Tiger Forums crowd. Regardless of the outcome, thanks for your analysis and info.
Traditionally 1-loss teams are kept with the 1-loss folks ... to be sure. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT and it's a BIG BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT That wasn't a traditional AZZ WHIPPING OKLA got. ~R~O~U~T~ If Hawaii wins .... and NYT poll goes to USC .... and OKLA = AP #4 USC 6.16 LSU 6.24 + X OKL 6.20 Where X = GA final position. We could still get screwed
I appreciate all the love.......I really do I started gettin into it more and more, especially after that first week when LSU made the big jump from 12 to 7 in the BCS, the 2nd week it came out. Then when Miami and Florida State lost in the very same week, I said to myself.....LSU may have a chance at this thing. So I threw myself into it about 2 weeks ago, when Ohio State had to play Michigan. I just knew Michigan would win. After that, I went in head first, and haven't come out sense. Someone asked me if I was a Math major in another post, and to answer that I have a math miinor. I have a major in computer science. I am a numbers freak. I love statistics. In fact, I will give you a statistic right now: LSU - 443 yards GA - 249 yards You just gotta love statistics.....It's a beautiful thing
islstl, I really respect the work you have done and you are very knowledgable. However, you need to go take another look at the way SOS is figured. The wording is all Div I-AA losses COUNT, but I-AA wins do not. Only wins against I-A teams count, but all losses count.
