🏈 The anti-Bama campaign is alive and kicking tonight....

[alabama mike]

Good. bad or indifferent, the Cowboys are flat out putting on a show against the boys from Norman. Boomer Sooner has self-imploded.

I still don't see how Okie State could pass a team as dominant as Alabama being in the SEC, only losing once in OT by 3 pts to the Number 1 team in the land. Would be total Bull$hit.

We're fine. Pack the bags to 'Nawlins

Bama should still go--let me say that up front.

However, VA Tech is getting boat raced by Clemson, which will probably allow Okie State to jump to #3 w/ Stanford being done. The computers love Okie State for some reason so the climb in the coach's poll could make things interesting.

Ultimately, I think Okie State would have to win by 100 but they are certainly making things interesting tonight

you asking OK st to go from 5 to 2 in the 2 human polls when only 1 team in front of them lost. If the voters actually let that happen, its more of a crock than the BCS already is.

Nope, worse than that. Some in the Harris Poll already said they would jump them to 2, over us, with a win over OU and were openly campaigning for their counterparts to do the same. I really don't think as many coaches will do the same but Harris worries me and OSU will move to #2 in the computers. No doubt.

how does OSU jump Stanford in the 2 human polls that go into the BCS?

OSU has more quality wins than either Bama or Stanford. Some voters, especially Big 12 coaches and Harris Poll voters, will bump OSU up to number 2.

If my understanding of the BCS is right they'll need to get above .9442 in order to pass Alabama, assuming you guys don't lose ground in the human polls (unlikely but also unpredictable.)

Already 5 coaches have someone else ranked above Bama at #2. Assuming no coach has either team lower than 3 (likely and easily predictable) OSU would need to take roughly 35 of the 59 second place coaches votes to overtake you guys. (so 30 more than they have now.)

In the Harris poll OSU would need to make up 300 points going from 2414 to 2714 which means (making the same assumptions about both teams being no lower than 3) they would need 69 of the 115 voters to put them second.

I got to think that's too much of a gap for them to overcome. Even though they are destroying Oklahoma.

 

[BadAllergies]

my point is that the polls had them not only behind Bama but Stanford as well, and neither lost.

 

[CrimsonFlame]

If they did vote Ok State #2 LSU would MONKEY STOMP them!

I am not implying Okie State jumps Bama in the human polls, they won't. The final BCS standings are a bit more uncertain at the moment.

Well Oklahoma State lost the last time they played and with this being the final poll voters will, and should, take the entire season into account.

Did Bama somehow get worse?

 

[Roll Tide Rev]

PUKE @ OKS Coach!

 

[CrimsonFlame]

Did Gundy just say "Do the voters wanna see a 9 to 6 game or a 39 to 36 game?"
Is he really that stupid?!!!!

Yes.

Or… It's all just conversation. They have to say something to please/ignite the audience. I bet 80% of what comes out of TV sports commentator's mouths is only talk for the game and not their own opinion or even anything realistic.

 

[foshman]

Did Bama somehow get worse?

No but they will lose ground in the polls because of how much better Oklahoma State just got.

 

[BadAllergies]

if we get screwed out of this, what action do we take?

Control our own destiny in the future? I am not sure what you are asking. We have to live with the hand we are dealt or form our own league.

 

[Roll Tide Rev]

There is nothing we can do. If it happens it happens. At least we Donkey Stomped the Barn! (sorry duder and foshman )
