Or do the computers factor in rank at time of play???

Maybe Vandy is that good. They are ranked and beat both SC and OM - both are decent if not good teams.

rankings don't really matter that much anymore for us, its all about the games left on our schedule

IF Vandy somehow eked in to the SECCG, then it would help our computer ranking by not penalizing us for beating the same team twice, like if we were to play UGA or UF in the SECCG. We would have to beat UF and UGA for Vandy to even have the remotest chance, though.

Screw the rankings. We have to win the west and then the SECCG and then things will take care of themselves. You don't want any of you opponents in the SEC W sneaking into the SECCG by virtue of a tiebreaker. You want Auburn to lose, and Bama to lose as many SEC games as possible.

Yes, but at least maybe this loss will curve some of the man love some of our fans have for Coach Tubs

it should. Auburn sucks and we struggled for the W against them.

I still have a hard time believing it when I see Vandy at the top of the East. It looks like a typo.

The only "dilution" is maybe in the public perception at the end of the year. When looking at how many ranked teams we beat this year. The SOS component is drastically reduced and I think it's only a component in some of the individual computers (not the BCS formula as a whole).
If we beat FL, SC, UGA, BAMA, MS, ARK, a Vandy win over Auburn won't matter. What this does is give us a little bit of breathing room in the West. We only have to worry about Bama now. Actually, we could still lose a game, and as long as we beat Bama, we'll get the tiebreaker over them.

it's in the books, that's all that counts, we win out and we'll play for the crystal football
