    than all bets are off

    I know CBS is trying to trump ESPN on this one.

    So I would not be shocked if this is way premature.

    If Wolfe goes to Oklahoma State, I think they are in. I think it's coming down to that poll.

    One interesting note is that these computer polls are NOT monitored for accuracy by the BCS. They are self monitoring. Scary.

    Last year a computer poll was put out in error and affected LSU and Boise State's final ranking.

    i read somewhere that the formulas are not even known, and there is no oversight. at all.

    the whole bcs system is turning into a cluster, there needs to be a lot of sunshine on the computer systems. knowing how they are formulated and with oversight to make sure that data entry is accurate.

    i also read that there was a data entry error last year that effected lsu. but i never heard how it effected us. any info there?

    I think we dropped a spot after the correction was made.

    still depends on Harris, but yes it may come down to a computer poll that we won't be able to validate

    the computer poll in question will be very close between Okie State and Bama

    Wes Colley. It flipped us and Boise (10 & 11). Didn't affect the BCS bids, luckily.
