Re: Just jumped Texas in Sagarin Rankings

Nice!

 

Re: Just jumped Texas in Sagarin Rankings

We will likely jump from #5 to #2 in the Colley Matrix computer. Texas will stay #1 in that one. I wouldn't be surprised if Billingsley has OU #1 as well.

I'm basing the Colley info on this post. This guy has a pretty good understanding of numbers and does percentages for each game that are pretty close to Vegas opening lines. The guy is also a Texass fan.

Re: Just jumped Texas in Sagarin Rankings

OU has beaten 2 top 10 teams, Whorns 1.
OU has beaten 5 top 30 teams, Whorns 3.

 

Re: Post computer rankings here as they come in

So now the question is how many points do we lose to Texas in the human polls? I'm hoping we pull through big on the computer polls, since I think we'll lose some ground to UT in the human polls. The gist of the articles I'm reading on many of the sports websites aren't looking good for the Sooners. Granted, there are some that favor OU over UT in going to the Big 12 Championship, but there are more that seem to favor UT over OU. Fortunately, the AP poll (comprised by many of these sports writers) isn't a part of the BCS ranking.

Links to the individual websites of each computer ranking can be found at http://www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfb/rankings. The Sagarin ranking is the only one that has updated so far.

Re: Post computer rankings here as they come in

From the Harris Interactive Poll site:

It's too bad we won't be able to see their votes this week compared to last. I guess these are the people UTerus is trying to plead their case to. If they had OU ahead of them last week, nothing that happened this week should change that, unless Whorn whine has made them insane or they been drinkin too much OVJ!

Just released this guys!!!!!!

 

After looking at how the points in each of the computer polls changed after last week, and then looking at what what realistically could happen this week, OU could very likely be #1 in the computers tomorrow. We will make up ALOT on Texas in the computers. Quite a few voters would have to swing over to the dark side in order for them to stay ahead of us. From checking out what they are saying on hornfans.com, it sounds like alot of them already realize that now that the Sagarin is out. There are already threads over there basically conceding the South and talking about how we will do against Mizzou. I really hope that the voters don't go brain dead...

I believe these are the polls from last week??? They show Texas Tech as #2 in the previous week's coach's poll.

 

What a great way to start the morning!

 

Since the BCS is broke up in 1/3's, here is how much weight each one really has.

Computer is .0023 of total BCS
Coach's Poll is .0002
Harris is .0001

Therefore it takes 12 Coach's votes to equal a Computer ranking. Of course, it should be obvious, that it takes 23 Harris votes to equal a computer ranking.

I have only plugged in the Sagarin Poll, we are currently 2 Computer Rankings ahead of UT (keeping the other 5 computer's the same as of now). As mentioned above, we should gain more computer strength when you look at it. Worse case scenerio, the other 5 computers don't change, then UT would need 23 Coach's to change their vote or 46 Harris voters. Or a combination of the two.

Again, for each computer rating we move up, it will take another 12 or 23 votes to have UT stay above us. A no brainer is passing Tech in the Wolfe rankings. Before this weekend, Tech was .001 ahead of us. Pretty sure we will pass them.
