    Brad Edwards is a Bama Homer and a real nutsack ... He and Robert Smith (Buckeye Homer) are a complete joke

    Alabama Crimson Tide's defense ranks among best ever - CFB - ESPN

    This monkeybusiness denies the fact that LSU's defense is actually better than Alabama's when you look ONLY AT SEC STATISTICS :eek:

    Throw in the OOC stats and Bama gets their edge ... but then, who has Bama played OOC worth a shight ... PSU ... :hihi:

    that may be his opinion, but one cant predict what the human polls will do. i hope.

    god only knows how flaky some can be. remember the idiot who kept voting boise number 1 up until just last week? we cant afford a whole voting contingent of idiots!

    My projected computer polls with Arkansas beating LSU (does not include projections for other relevant games like Clemson vs South Carolina, Penn State vs Wisconsin, Oregon vs Oregon State, etc).

    LSU = low of .960, high of 1.000, expected .980
    Okie State = low of .950, high of 1.000, expected .980
    Alabama = low of .880, high of .930, expected .900
    Arkansas = low of .880, high of .920, expected .900

    Again, the Clemson/SC game is huge as well as others that I did not figure into a final projection, but this is a really good educated guess.

    So, given .900 vs .980, that's an entire spot difference in each human poll to counteract that for Arkansas.

    Now if you're one of the believers that not one human voter will place Arkansas above Alabama, and that LSU will fall no further than #3, then Arkansas would need every voter to place them 2nd on their ballot and LSU #3 on every ballot.

    That is, without question, NOT happening.

    In fact, there are going to be between 10 and 25 percent of the voters who keep LSU #1 on their ballot (between 6 to 15 voters in the coaches, and 11 to 29 in the Harris).

    The top 3 in the human polls will look like a muddled clusterphuck. Alabama more than likely #1 and LSU and Arkansas fighting it out for #2.

    Unless the human voters totally drop the ball on this (which means some of them placing us 4th or even 5th on their ballots), there is no way possible for Arkansas to jump LSU for 2nd in the BCS, even with a win on Friday.

    Even in the absolute worst case of LSU being .960 and Arkansas being .920, 3/4 of the voters would have to side with Arkansas over LSU for #2, given the Alabama being #1 and no one placing Arkansas or LSU lower than #3 scenario.

    What ISLSTL said, except...what ehusson said. It ain't gonna matter, but if it does, our body of work is far and away the best. (That's right Martin, THE BEST!)
