With oSu, they have not won their conference. I did not expect to see any move this week. The huge kicker will be, when the regular season if final, and the conference champions are crowned. If oSu wins, how many VT and Stanford voters are going to vote them ahead of oSu, when they know that Stanford and VT have no chance of playing for title?

They have options now, next week if oSu were to win, they will only have one option to avoid rematch, vote oSu second.

That is why these predictions by a lot of the experts are a joke. How in the world do these experts know what all of the Harris poll and coaches poll voters will do.

However, we do know that there has never been a title game between two teams in the same conference.

I would not even say that Va Tech is completely out of this deal.

i know it may not be a popular idea on this board, what is keeping the anti-rematch crowd from voting OSU #1? those #1 votes would get OSU over bama

I'm pretty sure their computer score lets us know they are 100% out of it. They could however take some votes away. I'm wondering if we wouldn't see some voters put 2)OSU, 3) VT, 4) ALA should both OSU and VT win, due to conference championship.

Even though the polls are not released, I think that (#) next to OSUs name would put a lot of outrage out there over blatant bias to keep Bama out. I would assume even those with an agenda want to avoid unnecessary attention that could take away some of the human poll power.
