ESPN could be hyping LSU-tOSU in order to get a Georgia-USC Rose Bowl, which they could advertise as an 'alternate' NC game, since the winner could have a chance to be #1 in the AP poll. It's BS, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Uh-Oh... I feel a need to post this again

I think it will be interesting to see all the coaches ballots tomorrow....err later today. Will regional/confrence bias rule? Will SEC coaches vote LSU and UGA high and drop USC/OU/OSU down? Will Big12 and Pac10 coaches do the same?

Also is anyone else the least bit worried about a voter backlash dropping the Bucks behind some teams? I know it's not likely, but all the media hate has me a bit nervous that OSU will pop up #3 on FOX tonight.

Fuck any two-loss team. Kansas deserves to be #2...

Ehh, I guess I do hear you Mili but I really wasn't impressed with anything they've done.. winning all of those games is a challenge for sure and they have some ballers but they could not beat LSU, UGA, USC, OU, etc. IMO at least.. I wanna play LSU. I want the 'peoples champ' and I wanna kick Les Miles teeth in and welocme him to the Big 10 :biggrin:

Does anyone think Tress will take the sa,e approach as last year and abstain as to not have an impact on tOSUs opponent. He took a lot of shit from the media (and of course scUMmers, but who cares about that) - I wonder if that will push him to vote.

I don't think that will matter much and given how last year turned out, he could vote for Illinois or something just so long as they don't repeat the steps of last season....

Absolutely. Reps for suggesting that. I think he abstains again this year.

OK I guess the candidates are LSU,UGA, Ok, USC, VT, Mizzou?, WVU?, Kan, and Hawaii.

Looking first at the big boy 2 loss teams:
LSU: lost to 2 unranked teams with 9 losses between them; from a style points angle, have not been dominate since the VT game.
UGA: lost to 6-6 USCe and blown out by 21 by 9-4 Tennessee; have been dominating in second half of the season.
Oklahoma: lost to Colorado (7-5?) and Texas Tech (9-3?), not sure about the records; obviously looked great knocking off former #1 Mizzou.
USC: lost to 40 point dog Stanford, at home, with Stanford playing their backup qb; not much else needs to be said.
VT: prison raped by LSU early in season, lost to 10-3 BC at home; can't logically put them before LSU
Mizzou: 2 losses to OU, so no bad loss like the other 2 loss teams have; but hard to argue they belong in front of a team that beat them twice.
WVU: Lost to the Wannstache; seriously the fucking Wannstache; with the refs doing everything they could to hand them the game

Mizzou is the only one w/o a bad loss and as I said you really can't put them in ahead of OU.

The other two teams are 1 loss Kansas and undefeated Hawaii. Neither has played a good schedule; even OSU's schedule is SEC-tough in comparison.

So what do you consider more important, schedule or record. If there was one of the big boy 2 loss teams besides Mizzou w/o an embarassng loss, I'd give them the nod. But none of them qualify and none has a clear arguement over the others. So I'd go with Hawaii. This is the season of chaos and the upset, BSU did beat OU last year, so why not give the little guy a shot at the title.

In a year when teams that were "suppose" to win, seemed to find a way to lose every week. When every team has a loss. Why not give Hawaii a chance? I think they deserve a shot based off the fact that they're the ONLY undefeated team in the nation. Why not them? Boise proved that a WAC team can compete with the big boys...and I think that win last year should be enough proof that maybe the Warriors deserve a shot.
