I think the Aggie loss could be very close to breaking Arkansas' last hopes of making the SECCG

LSU gets even more breathing room.

Well in that case, I take it back. "Ref, that was a great call, the A&M defender clearly went head-hunting on that pass well after the pass was incomplete."

So does this mean that if the human voters rank us as Arky, then LSU, then Bama, the BCS result prior to the SECCG will probably be LSU, then Bama, then Arky?

If so, does that change who Bama fans should root for tomorrow since there's little chance of us getting sent to #3 in the BCS by an Arky win? Does an Arky win provide us with any additional buffer with respect to Okie State?

If it doesn't really matter either way, I'll be pulling for you guys.

Every Gump on the planet states emphatically that a win vs the chickens gets them in the bcsncg. End of story. No matter what.

If bama doesn't go, lock up your oak trees, cause its gonna get ugly.

the TexAM loss not only put helped LSU to get the SECCG game, but also closes the gap btw OKst and bama.

i'll leave it up to LSUMat to tell us how much it helps, but that win by Tex has to help since OKst beat Texas and Texas will stay at 25, if not move up some.

the stars are aligning for an LSU/OKst BCSCG.

care to explain? OSU is ranked ahead of Bama in the computers already, so are you talking about the human polls?

i'm not talking about LSU and the SEC championship game. my post presumes LSU to SEC championship.

my post/thought relates to the next step. who would LSU play in the BCS game?

presuming OKst wins against OU, it seems to me OKst best chance to go ahead of bama to the BCS would be to build up as much a lead in the computer polls, b/c bama will likely have an advantage in the human polls.

OKst played and beat Texas. played TexAgs, too. but they are already unranked. so, to the extent OKst's opponents who are ranked and that they've beaten continues to win, it improves their computer results (my thought, but will defer to LSUmat and others). the Texas win over TexAgs helps OKst in their BCS chances

according to LSUmat and other 'experts' on BCS calculations, it will be close between OKst and bama for the BCS (presuming they both win out). that game last night helps OKst, albeit a small amount, it helps.

Just saying.

Yeah, you might be right, but I think it's a wash for Oklahoma St, since they beat both Texas and Texas A&M. The computers don't take human rankings int effect. Though,Matt or someone did say that quality wins do boost the computer score, so I guess if Texas is considered a " good win", then it may help in them in the computers.

Kinda quiet now....
