quote:Matt, why do you assume that a Va Tech wins hurts Ok State more than Bama?
The will be ahead of Bama in all of the computers, which means in theory they only need 25% of voters to put them over Bama (as long as long as everyone else puts Ok State at #3 in their ballot). Ok State's real problem is Va Tech if they beat Clemson. It is hard to imagine ALL or MOST voters putting Ok State over the ACC Champ Va Tech - so Ok State basically needs Va tech to lose to have any chance.
This late in the season, voters really start to check and adjust. Watch what happens to Stanford this week.
Bama not playing in a conference championship will definitely be noticed during the conference championship games. A Va Tech win might put additional attention on conference championship games and actually draw more voters away from Bama rather than Ok State.

I think it would hurt OSU more because of the added competition. If it's simply a OSU/Bama discussion then the conference champion argument plays fully in OSU's favor, but if VaTech is also in there it's possible they could steal votes from OSU since their only loss is to Clemson vs OSU's loss to Iowa State.
