    Right now we have it as:

    TCU .869
    Cincy .855

    If Cincy wins over a ranked Pittsburgh, how much bump do they get in the computer polls?

    Current computer polls:

    Cincy .900
    TCU .860

    With a win over Pitt, my computer poll projections are:

    .........Sag...A&H....Bill...Coll..KM...PW...Avg
    TCU.....4.......4.......4......5......3......4.... .880 (4.00)
    Cincy...2.......2.......5......3......4......2.... .930 (2.75)

    With absolutely no human poll changes, that yields:

    TCU .876
    Cincy .865

    That means Cincy needs to gain an average of 20 percent of the voters in both the Coaches and Harris polls over TCU.

    That equates to 25 of the 125 voters in the Harris poll swapping TCU for Cincy.
    That equates to 12 of the 60 voters in the Coaches poll swapping TCU for Cincy.

    That would yield:

    .............Harris....Coaches....Comp..... Avg
    Cincy..... .839..... .842......... .930...... .8703
    TCU....... .866..... .863........ .880...... ..8697

    Bottom line: Cincy needs to destroy Pitt today to have a shot to overtake TCU.

    I don't think we have to worry about Cincy anymore. 31-10

    Remember, I already had his child back in 08.

    Was it a boy? Was it a girl?

    No, it was a clump of hair.
