Oh, well...hold Texas to 34 and we have no issues. Our own fault...but 5 weeks of football left.

So this looks like projections, not the actual BCS, correct? From my understanding they won't announce it til after the Dallas Cowboys game

6. Oklahoma Score: 0.8220 Last Week: No. 4
Here's where this gets really, really tricky. If Oklahoma loses again, it's out of the hunt for the Big 12 championship and the national title. If it wins out and there's a three-way tie with Texas and Texas Tech in the mix, most likely, OU would be the highest ranked team and would represent the South in the Big 12 Championship. However, the Sooners desperately need Texas Tech to beat Oklahoma State this week. If the Cowboys beat the Red Raiders, then OU loses the tie-breaker to Texas if both teams win out. Understand? Basically, OU needs to win out and then hope to get the right breaks. If nothing else, a BCS slot is a given by going 11-1. It's going to take a whole slew of things to happen to play for the national title.

Wasn't Florida only 10 in the last BCS no way they jump us this week. That would be mathematically impossible with the rankings in the coaches poll...

Yes 8th ranking wise, but 10th computer wise (33.333%)

Yeah, if Tech wins next week, and we win out, we're there. No way Alabama wins out, I think they'll lose to LSU anyways. If we win the Big 12 Championship, I'll think we'll jump/stay ahead of Florida. We don't need THAT much to happen...if we win out, the odds of us playing for the NC are pretty high IMO.

BTW, who else think Mich State is going to give PSU some problems? I know they're not great by any means, but neither is PSU, and I think Mich State is good enough to pull off an upset. I'm calling it right now.

We were 4th in the Coaches and 5 in Harris - how far did we drop in the computers and if Florida can move from 10 to 5 beating a 6th ranked Georgia-
how far can we move if we beat a #1 or 2 Tech?

If only we hadn't missed that last extra point and had put 63 on the huskers, we wouldn't have dropped. Dang freshman kicker ;)

Nothing we can do about the gators unless we win out and get that magical 3-way tie to the CCG.

Dude, it's been said a million times now that if Tech beats OSU and we win out, we are definitely in the NC game. Who cares if we are #6 right now.

No, we need either Bama or Penn State to lose; there is no way on Earth we can jump either of them if they go undefeated; in an ideal world, they both will lose

Florida goes from .7295 to .826 in one week.

The week before they were at .6690 and went to .7295

So...in two weeks they have been able to improve their BCS Standing by .157...almost 16 % by beating a couple of over ranked SEC teams and a 3 loss Kentucky at Home.

We have beat our last two opponents without a glimmer of a struggle.

No way this jump in BCS points is a valid jump.

Plus Cinncinati beat a ranked Team this week which should have at least kept us at our regular spot in the BCS. Tech beating Texas should be a wash in points for us. Should we beat Tech...they'll probably try to screw us. If Tech losses to aggy before we play them in Norman...I bet it really screws us.

There isn't any reason that we should have lost BCS points this week.

Are you REALLY that worried about Bama going undefeated? I'm not. No way they beat Florida...and I think they lose next week at LSU.

Yeah, and your point? You think we'll still be 9th after beating Tech and OSU? ;) Don't worry about it. Everyone else's schedule is getting easier, while we still have 2 top 10 teams left.

Yes I see we are 6th in the BCS Ranking. But we are ranked 9th as far as the computer part of the polls.

11/2/2008, 08:38 PM
Like they said above...if we beat a highly ranked Tech, highly ranked OSU in stilly, and a fairly high ranked Mizzou in the CCG, then the computers will LOVE us and will most likely be top 2 in the computers. The polls will take care of themselves, we just need to win out, hope for a 3-way tie in the south for a CCG bid and win that. Oh and I think Bama loses "at least" game, maybe this week.

That's a typo. Look at the numbers, we're supposed to be 6th in the computer rankings. Georgia is 9th - which in and of itself is a crock

Sigh, I didn't want to try to explain to you that .790 is larger than .770, .700, and .680 or whatever it was again, n00b. :rolleyes:

I can understand what your trying to say but seeing Florida jump up in points like they have the last two weeks should pause you for concern IMO.

I saw Josh Heupel get screwed out of a Heisman Trophy in 2000 and with so many one loss teams this year...every BCS point might be important. If we win out...we could still get screwed the way the BCS points seem to be stacking up against us.

I think you might want to do some more research before you start taking such a laid back attitude about all of this right now.

texas lossing seemed to hurt us.

Tech didn't go to number one like texas did when they beat us.

We got screwed this week.
