What do you think the human polls look like?
there could be some voters that rank Arkansas No. 1...they had to go on the road for both their big games...LSU and Bama had the luxury of playing at least one at home (Bama had two).

Arkansas, if they beat LSU, would have won 8 in a row.

Not saying that it will happen but there is an argument for Arkansas ranking well in the human polls.

Oh I don't Arky gets 1st place votes, but so might LSU. Let me write this another way. I am going to be more dramatic now:

1. Bama (60% 1st place votes, 30% 2nd place, 10% 3rd place)

2. Arkansas (25% 1st place, 40%% 2nd place, 35% 3rd place)

3. LSU (15% 1st place, 30% 2nd place, 55% 3rd place)

LSU gets in EASILY.

Potential BCSCG opponents if LSU wins out:
Bama
OSU
VT
Stanford

If I were a voter choosing between multiple 1-loss teams I would use conference title winners as my tie breaker which would leave OSU and Virginia Tech(potentially)...But that's just me.

But how cool would it be if we beat bama twice in the same year to win the NT and deny them one. Braggin rights over those morons for a year would be priceless.

I guarantee OK state controls their own destiny.

The voters will pity them for going on the road on a Friday night, the same day they found out their basketball team took a horrible hit...and Mike Gundy had the team participate in wake and whatnot, proclaiming "football is just a game"

They showed up to Iowa state 30 minutes before the game..
.

All that being said, they have to beat a reeling OU. If they don't SEC owns both sides of the title game and LSU gets in no matter what.
