No, he assumes Bama gets Wolfe and then OSU would need to be ahead in Harris. If OSU gets Wolfe they only need 25% of the vote.


Not sure who leaked the Wolfe rumor, but didn't a Brad Edwards tweet start the rumor. That guy hasn't been right many times this year.

Wolfe not out yet? Where are people hearing Bama is #2 in it?


Andy Staples tweeted it and Jerry Palm is saying the same thing (but Palm may have got his info from Staples)

Ya, I was giving OSU a ranking of 2.2 in the computer instead of 2.25 so I was off.

Looks like OSU has little to no shot now.

LSUMATT, I'm basing that off Andy Staples from Twitter. He said he got an email that sends the computer ranking to conferences. It really comes down to whether andy staples has the real computer rankings or not. It's weird that he would have them before even brad edwards would. Edwards works for ESPN, which is contractually tied to the BCS vs Staples for CNNSI which has no ties.

It was. Who is Andy Staples and why does he have access to Peter Wolfe's computer?


Says he got an email. Scroll down to "4 Hours Ago tweets"

unless the Harris pulls a huge surprise


Which is exactly what we hear happening

If you just listen to ESPNU radio this morning

95% of the caller are saying it should be OSU

Talk about what needs to happen in the Harris?

Right, that is difficult to trust but not sure why he would say it unless it were true. Wolfe's poll isn't published ANYWHERE so it isn't like someone reproduced it exactly. No Way Wolfe told Staples, himself. Only thing would be if someone in Wolfe's office leaked it or someone is just pretty confident in it.

When are Harris votes "due?" Is there still time for the voters to be swayed?

It is based on what the other teams on your schedule have done as well.

I have also seen a lot of Harris votes go OSU 2 on Twitter. Not sure of the reliability but I am starting to think OSU could jump bama outright to 2 in Harris.

I'm getting that feeling too, but we've only seen a pretty small sample

Ok, so say it is 4/6 OSU (other two go bama) in the computer, coaches poll is out, then what are the numbers needed or votes for OSU in the Harris?
