Excellent
:hyper:

 

[bamajt]

We are ahead by 32 points. Anyone care to explain what that means?

 

[AFF]

Bama picked 2nd in 42 of 59 votes and 3rd in the rest (17).

The No. 2 Crimson Tide were picked second on 42 of the 59 ballots and third on all the others.
.
.

But that doesn't figure to be enough to overcome Alabama's edge in the BCS standings, which also include the Harris Interactive poll and an average of six computer formulas

Cool. I know it all pretty much comes down to the Harris poll now, but with how trends usually go (I assume there are some), does it appear that we are in the clear now? Not asking for a 100% guarantee or anything, just a question for those smarter than I.

 

[TerryP]

59 voters.

25 points for first place votes.
24 for second place and on down the line.

You bring up a point most miss. It's not about being number two or number three, it's about the number of points in both polls.

 

[planomateo]

I can hear T Boone now...

 

[bamadezz]

T. Boone can start preparing his investigation now. I think he should start out in Ames, Iowa.

 

[bamajt]

Alright, you made me lol.

 

[CaptainTide]

Alright, you made me lol.

I wasn't expecting it, either.

This has calmed me a bit. We need to see the Harris Poll, then of course… the BCS Standings… 4½ more hours.

 

[CrimsonFlame]

… 4½ more hours.

Fingers crossed

 

[Southern Bama]

will the Harris poll be made public before the BCS announcement tonight ?

 

[BamaCore]

will the Harris poll be made public before the BCS announcement tonight ?

From what I heard they're usually made public around Sunday afternoon, but for this one they're holding out until the BCS Selection Show.

 

[Southern Bama]

From what I heard they're usually made public around Sunday afternoon, but for this one they're holding out until the BCS Selection Show.

Was wondering if they would do that......wonder why the coaches poll was made public ??

 

[bamagirl917]

Was wondering if they would do that......wonder why the coaches poll was made public ??

apparently the harris poll has a contract with ESPN and so will hold the results until tonight. but lots of rumors floating around about bama being in and i think they're more than rumors, more like leaks, because all of the bowl games have to know the picks already.. they're announcing them on the show... a lot of people know for sure the answer.. i feel good :a::a:

That would make sense.

 

[BamaCore]

I think because it's done by USA Today, and they decide whether or not to release that one.

 

[Cowboys_4Ever]

Don't underestimate T. Boone Picken's pocketbook

 

[planomateo]

speaking of his pocketbook, has he actually given you guys the money he promised. last I heard, the money he donated, he was managing, and lost alot of it.

this is an honest question.

 

[TerryP]

Don't underestimate T. Boone Picken's pocketbook

Has he bought Gundy a "man card?"
