osu didnt even play this week and they have what every voter considers at least a top 10 team in oklahoma next week. they blow them out, then things get real interesting real fast

I just think this is wishful thinking. I am working on the hypothetical that Bama is the unanimous #2 in both the Coaches and the Harris Poll. I'm pretty sure Matt said that OSU had to have at least 25-30% of the #2 votes and all the #3 votes. They would have 0% of the 2s and will still be splitting 3s with Stanford.

Voters clearly think Bama is better than Oklahoma State. And I don't think a win over what would be a 9-3 Oklahoma without their best player is gonna do anything to change that opinion. So, there would have to be a significant movement to vote--not for who they think is the better team, that clearly is Bama--but AGAINST a rematch. I don't think that movement makes up enough ground in 1 week. I just don't. And I don't think it should. If you think Bama is the 2nd best team in college football, you fricking rank them #2. It doesn't matter if it's not the matchup you want. That's not your job. Your job is to rank teams, preferably by the same criteria you have been all season. Or at least, the same criteria you used only 7 days earlier.
