Okie St. 6th:
George Wine
Bob Wagner
Derrick Mayes

Okie St 5th:
Rick Wright
Craig Morton
Jeff Van Note
Scott Johnson

If these 6 idiots had Okie St. at 3rd where they belong, how much does this change the standings?

I'll go further and say its entirely possible one or more computer polls were tampered with.


They wanted it.....now they are going to get it.

This is what people wanted after 2003. Reduce the influence of computers, let a group of pollsters determine the participants. While the math involved in the computers can be questioned, at least computers are not unethical.

If you take all of the coaches and Harris voters that voted OSU lower than third, and rearranged their ballots to that (and do the same for Bama), it gets very, very close.

Dont care enough to try to run the numbers, but if OSU doesn't get it then, then they would have only missed out by a count hair

From an article on Yahoo about the nonsense that is the BCS formula.

"The Harris Poll, which the BCS created when The Associated Press demanded that its weekly rankings no longer have anything to do with the process, may be even worse than the coaches’ vote. It consists of 115 voters, each nominated by a particular conference, many with strained ties to the current game.

There are retired refs and sports information directors. Some are former players and coaches, plus a bunch of media and college administrators. Most have lives outside of college football and, quite understandably, can’t watch all the action. They have their own issues with bias and bizarre votes. They struggle to see lower-profile teams. They’ve proven easily swayed by campaign slogans and teams that run up the score. And occasionally they straight up forget to vote."

The whole article is good and should be read if you have the time.
