So I took the time to breakdown each of the Top 4 1-loss teams schedule by calculating each opponents ranking by the 6 BCS Computers and averaging their scores so we could get a better luck at what each team has accomplished this season. This will help to understand why the computers seem to strongly favor some of the contenders over the others.

Great graphic.

Oklahoma State has clearly earned the right to play LSU, if they beat OU.

I love the stat of Bama playing 2 OOC teams ranked below 91, and Georgia Southern. Okie Lite's wins are far more impressive than any of Bama's. Sandusky State was obliterated by Wisconsin and Arky proved they are still overrated.

Yeah they are starting to build the Okie STate campaign now. I thin everyone is waiting for them to actually win. I think if they lose to OU then they will have no choice but to bring in Bama,

My thing is I still feel that Va Tech and Stanford deserves a shot just as much as them if not more. Lets face it Bama had there shot at the crown and blew they should go to the back of the line. but due to this being a popularity contest they have remained in the drivers seat.

The 6-1 for OSU tells the story where as Alabama is 3-1 vs top 30 teams.

I may be the freak outlier here but I think if a football team has a better record against tougher competition then they should always be ahead in the BCS poll.

But hey, screw OSU if they whip Oklahoma. Go ahead and vote your heart and just piss on the facts.

And this. OU is playing for Bama Saturday. No wonder they look so much alike.

I am currently working either cleaning the image up a bit, or getting one of the professionals on the fark board to do it. I would like the passionate members of Tiger Droppings to help me in my quest in distributing this chart to the masses via twitter and other social media platforms.
Just so I am clear, I never had a real problem with Alabama playing in a rematch until the media (ie: ESPN) started potraying that Alabama was a without a doubt, sure-fire thing into the title game. I think everyone should atleast get to see the unbias facts when it comes to what these teams have accomplished this year. The computers have no bias, they were setup to give us the best rankings without using margin of victory as determained by the BCS standards.

And, for the record, I'm not "skerred" of the Gumps, and we might want to be careful of what we wish for, because OSU might beat us by 3 TDs.
But it would be a lot easier to watch Mike Gundy lift the trophy than Lil' Nicky.

Bama silence on these stats....deafening. Go figure. The only response IF you get one will be the standard adolescent response: LSU skeered.

I also want to add the actual computer by computer score for each team just so everyone can see the math is all there.

Not that it matters, but I am curious as to what LSU's numbers are. Good Work

What about Top 10 teams? Have there been enough Top 10 games played amongst these 4 to justify that stat?

Thanks.

Yeah I hate Alabama and I don't want them to be able to even say they played for the National Championship. Glad I am not the one that has to twist reality to get my team into the NCG.
