something more to worry about for all you hand-wringing grandmas out there.

quote:

in a three-way tie with no other form of resolution, the team with the highest BCS ranking gets the invite to Atlanta -- UNLESS the No. 2 team is within five spots of the highest-ranked team, in which case it reverts to head-to-head between those two teams. Right now, LSU is No. 1, Alabama is No. 3 and Arkansas is No. 8, with either No. 3 Stanford or No. 7 Oregon, and No. 2 Oklahoma State or No. 6 Oklahoma State guaranteed to lose. It's very feasible, then, that if the Razorbacks were to upset No. 1 LSU, the Tigers would fall back behind Alabama, and Arkansas would either be the highest of the bunch, or in between the Tide and Tigers. Either way, Alabama and Arkansas would be the top two and within five spots of each other, which means the Tide would win the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Razorbacks and go to Atlanta.

Exactly why anyone who thinks the team is overlooking Arkansas is out of their mind.

Why do we keep entertaining the idea of an SEC West tie?

The road ahead is simple. WIN. PERIOD.



Keep it positive people.

No way ark will be ranked higher than Bama. Ark has played poorly against bad teams. Unless something wierd happens, bama or LSU are going regardless.

In drei Gewinnern ohne andere Form der Entschließung, kommt die Mannschaft mit der höchsten BCS Klassifizierung die Einladung nach Atlanta -- ES SEI DENN die Mannschaft Nr.-2 innerhalb fünf Punkte der hoch-geordneten Mannschaft ist, in diesem Fall sie zu Kopf-an-Kopf- zwischen jenen zwei Mannschaften umschält. Im Augenblick ist LSU Nr. 1, Alabama ist Nr. 3 und Arkansas ist Staat Oklahoma oder Nr., 6 Oklahoma das Nr.-8, entweder mit Nr. 3 Stanford oder Nr. 7 Oregon und Nr. 2, das zum zu verlieren staatlich garantiert ist. It' durchführbares s sehr dann dass, wenn das Razorbacks, Nr. 1 LSU umzukippen waren, die Tiger hinter Alabama zurückfallen würden, und Arkansas würden entweder des Bündels oder in-between das höchste sein Alabama und LSU. Jede Weise, Alabama und Arkansas würden die Spitzenzwei sein und innerhalb fünf Punkte von einander, das bedeutet, würde Alabama die Kopf-an-Kopf- Verlängerung mit dem Razorbacks gewinnen und nach Atlanta gehen.

Not completely out of the realm of possibility for the Hogs to drop one of their next two against UT or MSU.

Good question. Start another thread so we can find out.

Apparently every "three way tie" poster has failed to watch LSU play this year.
