re: What would give OK State a better chance at making the NC?

Ah yeah. Forgot about UVA.

Why wouldn't Stanford win their conference? They're 10-1 and Oregon is only 9-2?

both will be 8-1 in conference. Head to head tie breaker sends Oregon to the PAC 12 title game since they are both in the North Division.

OSU is maxed in comps due to LSU winning out.

Actually it's Iowa State but your common opponent point is right either way.

OU plays ISU tomorrow

A VT loss this weekend or in the ACC title game would be huge for us

Even if VT wins out it won't really matter IMO

The voters will be voting for Bama or OSU on that final ballot, who they want to see in the NCG

Hopefully they will be smart enough to see VT doesn't really matter in the end

I see both arguments for Bama, and obviously OSU

Moreso than 2007, this will be the year that test whether voters "collude" to put a particular team in.

the difference between collusion and conventional wisdom settled through debate is probably a matter of perspective

Hella interesting on this subject... a great diversity of opinion on which BCS NCG match-up would be most preferred.

MY BREAKDOWN FOR TOMORROW REPOSTED FROM THE RANT:

Figured I would break down what to root for if you don't wanna see a rematch. I have 6 Oklahoma State BCSNCG Ticket Reserves so that should pretty much tell you my stance. We obviously want Oklahoma State to gain a stronghold on all 6 of the computers over Bama and want them to gain as many human votes as possible.

Here is what to root for on Saturday November 26th
in order of importance IMO
1.) Auburn over Alabama - Obviously the most important and easiest way to get Bama out of the title game.
2.) Virginia over Virginia Tech - VT is the biggest threat of taking away human votes from Oklahoma St.
3.) Notre Dame over Stanford - Stanford is also taking some of Oklahoma States votes in the polls but may lose some luster during Championship Week.
4.) Wisconsin over Penn St. - Alabama's biggest win of the season is over Penn State.
5.) FSU over Florida
Wake Forest over Vanderbilt
Kentucky over Tennessee - All three of these games would hurt Alabamas computer score.

8.) Georgia Tech over Georgia
Clemson over South Carolina - While this wouldnt effect the computers, my logic here is that if the SEC has a down week, with a few teams losing to ACC Opponents, it will make the SEC appear weaker to some of the human voters which could help them to use as an excuse to not vote Bama #2
10.) Kansas State over Iowa State - I think Miami losing to BC pretty much rules out this theory, but Kansas State is one of the few schools left that had a very very tiny chance of jumping Alabama in one or two of the computer polls.
