LSU got a bump of roughly .30 for the Arkansas win, so the same bump would put Oklahoma State ahead of Alabama. The big issue is Arkansas was #4 at the time in this computer poll when we beat them, OU is #10.


Bama got a 0.21 bump for bating Auburn, who was 20th. If OSU gets somewhere slightly higher than in the middle of what LSU/BAMA got, they would still trail.

I'm curious what happens with Bama being idle. OSU fell 0.057 points last week. Kansas St. was also idle and fell 0.037 points. Both are from the Big 12 but I wonder if Bama loses anything this week. If they do, it should be very close.

Boone should have been rallying way before today or yesterday if he wanted to persuade anyone. ESPN slobbing on Bama yesterday all but sealed the deal. That was the most disgusting style of sports journalism I've seen in a long time. No objectivity at all.

Boone also said he's got reservations at the Holiday Inn Express. I seriously hope that's a joke.

LSUMatt needs to be included in the creation of a New BCS formula.

He knows more about any of these computers and voters and formulas than anyone else on this site and I would say anyone in the media as well.


He seems to be pretty smart.

@jppalm based on current computer projections (OSU 2 in 4 of 6), OSU must now pass Bama in Harris poll by 5 points to be #2 overall.

Yeah. Coaches are less likely to move teams around.

I expect it to be close, but to completely pass Bama, I don't know that is a tall order.

Looks like Wolfe goes narrowly to Bama making it harder for Okie state. But the Harris would be the exact place for anti-SEC/ESPN lobbying backlash to be expressed.

Reading between the lines here, it looks like BAMA by a tiny fraction. If Wolfe goes Okie though, it swings back towards Okie state.
