1. LSU 2. Okie St. 3. Stanford 4. BOISE ST. 5. Bama Figures that Boise stays over Bama right now due to the computers. For now. I see 'bama moving back up to #2 in fairly short order. May take the OU-OSU game to complete the move.
That looks right. Bama doesn't get a ton of help in the computer polls from here on out either, as they play 5-4 Miss. St, Georgia Southern (ouch, that's a Div II school), and 6-3 Auburn. The FBS-II team doesn't help them in any computer polls and especially in terms of SOS. Boise State faces a 7-2 TCU, 5-3 Wyoming, 5-3 San Diego State and an 0-8 New Mexico. I don't see Bama catching Boise State in the computer polls, although they could close the gap some. The humans would have to force Bama into a rematch with LSU over Boise State. Boise State vs TCU is the kicker. If they destroy TCU, then they stay ahead of Bama all the way to the end.
I thought it was mentioned due to SOS that voters probably wouldn't put Boise ahead of Bama? The whole rematch issue is bs imo anyway, had we lost no one would push for it, seems the media wants to hand Bama another crystal for nothing... They lost at home, they had their chance and lost... they need to get over it, and prepare for the Sugar.
I was also wondering if OU could jump bama by beating the computers' darling - Okie state. No one is talking about it now, but I could see that possibly happening.
I listened to Fox Sports Radio a little after the game and they gave the projected BCS rankings from bcsguru.com. I have no idea who that is or how accurate their projections are but they put Bama at #4 ahead of Boise.
I believe Bama will eventually be ahead of OU. Look at the quality of the loss. OU loses at home to an unranked opponent. Bama loses at home to number one. I'm tired of hearing about Boise....Air Force puts up 26 on them and people still think if they are undefeated that they should play in the NC over a one loss Bama, OU, OK State.....
Alabama has to be an entire spot ahead of Boise state in the human polls to have a shot at being ahead of them, to counteract the advantage Boise has in the computer polls.
