Computers...

[OU_Sooners75]

Saragin already has OU #1. Last week they were #4.
Colley Matrix could have OU #3 up from #5 last week.
In fact every computer should have OU jumping at least 2 spots.

This is very good news for OU. We only needed to jump 1 spot in the computers to jump over Texas...this is of course assuming that we get the same votes from the humans as we did last week.

Hopefully the humans vote for class(Stoops) and not for beggars(Mr Falsetto)

Posted on the rankings thread, but applies here too. Good news for us:


OK I did some number crunching, making a few assumptions:

Let's assume that the coaches and harris numbers hold sway. Our BCS percentages in those break down like this:
Coaches: .9259 OU, .8984 UT
Harris: .9116 OU, .9042 UT

Remember that to determine the computer percentage that the high and low rank is dropped and the remainder are summed and divided by 100. You get 25 for a #1 ranking, 24 for a #2 ranking and so on.

When you assume that Sagarin has us at 1 and UT at 2. Also assume that the Colley Matrix jumps us to 2 and keeps UT at 1 (as a previous poster said). Also assume in the Wolfe rankings that we are able to jump the .0001 point edge that TT has on us in that computer ranking to move to #3. Assuming NO OTHER CHANGE, this gives the following rankings:

UT: 24, 25, 24, 24, 23, 23
OU: 25, 24, 23, 25, 24, 22

Doing the BCS math gives the percentages:
UT .950
OU .960

That alone gives us enough to jump them ASSUMING HUMAN VOTERS VOTE THE SAME WAY OR DONT GIVE TEXAS ANY MORE LOVE THAN LAST WEEK.

The percentages computed above would produce final BCS point totals of:
UT .9175
OU .9325
