Oklahoma continues to get bogged down by its poor computer rankings (Missouri will past them in almost every one). LSU will boost its lead ever so slightly over idle Oregon with its impressive 58-10 win over La. Tech. The game was vital to show the nation we could play a full 60 minutes (didn't we play only 45 minutes, however?...shhh...don't tell anyone). Hard to tell how far down Ohio State falls, but I think they will have a fairly soft landing that puts them at #5 in the BCS. If that's the case, there BCS CG chances are not quite over (although fleeting given the Big 12 scenario). Kansas will eventually overtake LSU for most if not all of the computer polls should they win out. Oregon picked a REALLY bad week to be idle.

Everybody thank their lucky stars that La. Tech was on a 4 game winning streak (were 0-5 before then). Had they been 1-8 or 0-9, we would have been hurt in the computer rankings. Being 4-5, it had only a slight effect.

 

Their computer polls are really lacking. They actually will not make up any gain as Missouri passes them in many of the computer polls this week, Ohio State won't fall far enough to drop past OU and even with the BC loss, OU remains stagnant in their computer polls at essentially the same exact position. It hurt them to play Baylor this week while Missouri played a decent A&M team. They only have the Big 12 championship game and that won't be enough to help them boost their computer polls anywhere near LSU or Oregon.

Kansas gets a good boost in the computer rankings (thanks in large part to the OSU loss). Kansas should also gain on OU in the human polls as human voters who had them behind teams like W. Virginia will jump them in many voters polls, therefore closing the gap between Kansas and OU. Final result: Kansas opens up a substantial lead over OU for the 3rd spot in the BCS.

 

Yep, looking more and more like that. But we shall see tomorrow morning. Keep an eye out on them pesky human polls. They tend to do what the hell they want to do. The gap may be much closer than what I projected, I sure hope to hell not. I think our 58-10 victory and them being idle should help us spread the gap for us in the human polls over Oregon. Cross your fingers.

The one team who can guarantee themselves a spot in the BCS CG is Kansas winning out. Then comes LSU, then Oregon.
