Ok ladies and gentlemen...here's a few hypotheticals coming your way.

Let's just assume:
- OU wins out
- TCU wins out and wins the MWC outright
- Cincinnati wins out and wins the Big East outright
- Texass wins out
- Taco Tech loses to Texass and OSU, but stays ranked
- OSU loses to Texass and OU, but stays ranked
- KU wins the ****ty Big XII north and gets pasted by Texass twice in one season

Between us and Texass, we should just about have the best strength of schedules in the nation.

Am I wrong?

They might say it, but the computers won't agree with them.

I kinda hope tOSU does beat Paterno...cause they still won't ever jump us in the polls as a 1-loss team.

That said...I hate tOSU worse than I hate Texass...and I REALLY hate Texass right now.

Yah...I know.

I'm just trying to figure out how we can at least stay in the discussion.

And Chattanooga is on the verge of turning things around. They could easily win their final four games to finish 5-7 . . .

Sort of. It isn't just the rank in the human polls but also the votes. If OU finishes 3rd in the polls but close to second but is a solid 2nd (or first) in the computer rankings that will = top 2.

I could see a scenario where USC is 2nd in the human polls but as low as 5th in the computers.

I agree MyT....we messed it up ourselves....

First of all, we have to find a way to make sure we win our last 5 games. We win those, it will be very very interesting.....especially if Penn St loses this week. Honestly, this is the only chance they have to lose.

maybe mich state could pull an upset against them too.

i mean they did look horrible against osu but hey anything can happen. i will never be sold on a big 10 team so i think they can lose to mich state..and iowa could also pull an upset

who knows they polls are all .33 .33 .33

We just have to win. These next 3 weeks will determine a lot. How well we can beat teams who don't belong with us, in our conference.
