[quote]Only the low is thrown out, not the high and low[/quote] I don't think that's accurate. Per the bcs website (bcsfootball.org) A team's highest and lowest computer ranking will be discarded from figuring a team's computer poll average. Points will be assigned in inverse order of ranking fr...

I think Houston, if they get the at large bcs bid, should play LSU for the nc. Hear me out. They are undefeated, ranked in the top 6 in both the polls and computers, won their conference, and will be in one of the BCS. Not afraid of playing bama again, or osu for that matter...but you have an und...

[quote]This is going to be 4 of 5 soon.[/quote] I love how the "3 out of 4" talk leaves out the fact that it's also 3 out of 8. Home team has always won (3x) since Petrino v. Miles. Arky has beaten LSU in BR only 2x in 20 seasons....

Their computer strength (#2) keeps a wedge between us and Arky/Bama if we lose. If they lose to OU, Arky and Bama will jump a spot in the computers in the final BCS. If we win, possible voter sentiment for OSU after beating OU may throw them in the BCSNCG, which would be preferable to a Bama rema...

Bama had only made 1 fg over 40 yds all season...a 45 yarder. The long kicker was the one who kicked it. He was 1/3 on the season before last night. The bama coaches were to blame for trotting those guys out over and over for near 50 Yard field goals. The 44 yd attempt was the only legitimate "opp...

While the D needs to get better defending the short passing game, a closer look at the Yards per Play stats from the WVU game shows it wasn't as bad as it seems. The WVU offensive imbalance covered how much we shut them down in the other phases. They ran 18 more plays than we did. LSU Run (41 f...

The hotel argument is way overrated. From a pure revenue evaluation, the extra ticket sold to a local lsu fan ($150 avg) is worth more to the bowl than the tax revenue from 2 nights hotel room ($50-75) is to the city. Still think arky goes. But not for economics sake....

[quote]there is not a single measurable in LSU's favor of being selected over Arky.[/quote] Agree with everything you said until this point...ticket sales go LSU's way. 5,000 more tickets is $750,000 real dollars. But again, I want them to play somewhere else....

[quote]to sell that many hotel rooms between arky and tosu at that high of a price the city must be creaming its pants[/quote] Unless the city owns the hotels, then all that matters is the tax revenues. I think the tax rate is 14% on hotels. So if Hog fans reserve (and pay for) 30,000 more room...

[quote]you dont get the opportunity to sellout the whole place[/quote] Schools get to ask for 2nd, 3rd, 4th allotments of tickets if they sell them out. Google it....
