that's rediculous, so now we want Va Tech to lose? Obviously the human polls and the rest of the computers are going to have a lot more strength. I'd still be surprised if we aren't 3rd in the BCS. I'm not worried about Kansas, there is NO WAY they are going to go to the BCS championship game over Missouri or to play Missouri again.

Its just one computer poll. Hell one of them had us #1 last week so it works both ways.

I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that we won't out computer the other 2 but I'm still not 100% convinced the humans would want a Mizzou vs WVU game. If OU should lose and its staring them right in the face I suspect you'll see some flip flopping from the human pollsters despite how blase they seem right now about it.

Thank god for those "unbiased" computers with their sophisticated Bayesian logic programs. Clearly, Kansas is a much better team. I don't even know why anyone would think otherwise.

GO BUCKS!!!!

We will never shut them up. If we blowout WVU in the BCSCG then they'll say WVU shouldn't have been there and USC,OU,LSU, and maybe even Mizzou would have beaten have they played us. Only thing that will change in the medias eyes is that the Big East is Horrible.

Can you blame them? That's been the prevailing viewpoint on this board.

LOL you guys HAVE to see this. I saw it in other forum and rushed right over here. It perfectly depicts our situation.

Depends. The computers are the most dangerous component and can overrule humans. The SEC effect and the layoff effect should never be discounted. However, I would also note that Ohio State caught a huge break when Tennessee won today. LSU beating Georgia could've been enough to rejump Ohio State.

The computer polls are perhaps more volatile, but they aren't more dangerous. How exactly can the computers overrule the humans? They make up 1/3 of the BCS formula. Neither human poll is going to jump LSU over OSU no matter what happens in Atlanta. I don't think we have any concerns in regards to someone jumping us, but I also don't think we have any shot of jumping anyone else. If OU wins, we are in.

GO BUCKS!!!!

There's still a small chance we get in even if Mizzou wins the Big 12...SMALL CHANCE! Right now, we will be firmly within the Title game with Oklahoma winning their conference. Honestly, I am doubtful they will do it after seeing an almost unstoppable Mizzou. Either they are the real deal, or Kansas was EXTREMELY overrated.

OU beat Mizzou... so obviously they aren't unstoppable.

Just remindining everyone of my post earlier in this thread (#373) on Nov. 18th.....getting close to reality now :)

1. Not a prediction.
2. Probably siding with the favorite in OU.
3. UGA is playing better than LSU, but were not a lock for the CCG. Do you get credit for a 'maybe' prediction?
4. Siding with a 17.5 pt favorite...

So congrats on agreeing with vegas's predicted blowout on #4. :p
