BCS polls 11/14/05 (Merge)

Not bad, we are in good shape for an at large if we take care of scUM. Why the hell is Va Tech ahead of us? They have played 1 team all year, and got killed by them.

 

[Pheasant]

indeed. We'll need some help since PSU is gonna have to go down... which will hurt us a little (since the computers will see that we lost to them).

You're confusing me. If PSU goes down, it won't matter what the computers see, we'll get the automatic bid.
If we beat scUM, I think we get an at-large even if PSU wins.

That's been the talk recently. I think also the SEC is going to look very different very soon.

Why is PSU going to have to go down?

We've played 2 teams.....and lost both.

Cause Jo Pa can't get it up?

Why is PSU going to have to go down?

I think Steve19 is onto something. PSU doesn't have to go down, but it will help. Findlay, I'm confusing myself as well.

As for Joe struggling with getting up, this may be why:

We've played 2 teams.....and lost both.

Good point. As much as I hate to say it, that's something that we Buckeye fans probably forget once in awhile. However, as a counterpoint, at least our 2 losses were close. Va Tech was absolutely dismantled at home by Miami.

 

[buckeyeboy]

How the heck does ND jump Oregon, when ND beat Navy this past weekend? What's going to happen next--will they jump us when they beat Syracuse?

As long as USC, Texas, and us don't lose we go to a BCS game. No non conference winners are likely to move into the top 4 of the BCS. If Texas were to lose the B12 title game we would get screwed or maybe if Miami lost the ACC title game and LSU loses VT could move up to 4 and we get screwed. Basically just win baby!!!

Oregon just got past a very bad Washington State team.

Yeah well Va Tech would of lost both also and we would probably be undefeated with their scehdule. So does everyone see why the polls are fucked up.

Yeah we lost, but we gave both teams their closest games all year and Texas fell right out from underneath us and we were all screwed up in that game with two qbs.

I still don't understand how these pollsters minds work.

Except for that little game that PSU lost to scum

 

[CleveBucks]

Coincidence that every Big Ten team is ranked 1-6 spots worse in the human polls than in the BCS voting? Meanwhile ND is grossly overrated by the human voters.
