Texas had a 1.000 computer ranking their whole time at #1 this year...

What's truly silly about the rankings & the b12s this year....
Tech beats Texas, let's say Oklahoma beats Tech....
Why does everyone ASSUME Ok has a chance? I mean, Texas handled them, Tech handled Texas - all is equal, right.
No, of course not - the HOME team keeps winning! If the Texas v. Tech game had been in Austin, does anyone else think the outcome might have been different? Anyone think Oklahoma would have a GOOD chance at beating Tech in Lubbock?
Seems to me, if it comes to a three way tie, Texas should come out on top; They would be the only one of the three to actually win a game against one of the others at somewhere OTHER than their home turf (although not truly at away game, either.)
Won't happen, though. Oklahoma's gonna probably beat Tech (in Norman), and jump Texas. Of course, then they have to play the other, very very good Big 12 South team, who had the unfortunate luck of having to play BOTH Texas and Tech in hostile territory. .
well, if you expand on your thought process there, then that means that okie st. is going to be oklahoma. and if thats the case, then Tech still wins the big 12 south & still controls their own destiny.
He didn't really put OSU in the same boat as Texas and Texas Tech... Texas was undefeated and had big wins against highly ranked teams in Austin. Tech is still undefeated and have two very big wins against highly ranked teams in Lubbock. I'm not saying OSU can't win a home game against OU, because they can, I just don't think they're going to the way OU is playing right now.
Same logic as Mizzou being ranked ahead of OSU when OSU won at Mizzou and their records are the same - what have you done for me lately?
yeah, i got ya. but his post still has holes. b/c if Tech does lose to OU, its a pretty good chance that OU jumps ut & florida in the BCS. It will be a win over a higher ranked opponent late in the season & should give them a large boost. but nobody knows with this crazy ass BCS stuff....should be an intersting few weeks comin up
you must have missed the part where i was being sarcastic. sorry next time ill spell it out for you.great logic there
in a sad way i kinda hope that alabama wins out and so does tech so that i dont have to be pissed that ou goes to the big game and texas doesnt get to.
waht happens if the big 12 south loses in teh big 12 game though? would another conference face the uf/alabama winner in teh le game?
usc couldnt jump ahead of texas could they? i mean they both would have an off week right?
didnt mean to miss the sarcasm, my bad.
well, if the big 12 south doesnt win the big 12 le, then that throws a whole new dimension onto the BCS le picture. in a case like that, Tech could still go, or even Texas could go. There will be A LOT of pissing & moaning if that happens, you can count on that.
I think if Tech loses this weekend they can still get into the le game:
1. OU would have to lose to OSU, (which would also give Tech the Big XII south tie breaker over UT)
2. Bama would have to beat Florida
3. Tech would have to beat Mizzou by a nice margin
No way. USC will play Bama in that scenario.
that would be gayest ever as tehy are the only ones who have lost to non ranked team.
plus i dont tihnk tech would fall below usc adn if they did go on to still win the big 12 they still deserve to play in the le game.
the only reason i kinda wish they would implement playoffs is bc i think its gay to pumish one team for losing later in teh season than another who lost early. regardless of who your favorite team is, you have to agree. i mean howmad would usc teams be if they lost late and ut lost early adn ut might go to the big one instead of usc bc of that.
USC is done. I just hope we can land an SEC or B-12 team in a BCS bowl.
I agree that it's pretty lame but when all the top B12/SEC teams start beating on each other in the scenario listed above, SC will come out smelling like a rose. And Oregon State is ranked if I recall, around the 20 mark.
what?
Tech has beaten both the #1 and #8 teams in the country. And if they go on and beat Mizzou in the Big XII le game, their BCS rank will absolutely be higher than SC's.
They say strength of schedule is taken out of the formula, but it's still in the minds of the voters and some computers.
That's exactly my point. The sixty-something head coaches and 100's of sportswriters that decide these things are going to remember Tech losing to OU rather than Oregon State beating USC a couple of months ago. And a lot of that has to do with prestige.
regulate yourself.
1) Oregon State is ranked
2) Ol' Miss is not
3) SC lost to Oregon State on the road
4) Florida lost to Ol' Miss at home
I don't think so.
Not if Tech goes on and beats Mizzou.
Tech beating #1, #8 and #19 (and whatever Mizzou would be ranked) while losing to #5 is much more impressive than anything USC will have done this season.
Heck, if one loss UT and one loss OU are ahead of USC right now, what in the world makes you think that the Trojans will ever jump one of the Big XII south teams at this point?
You have to understand as well that SC always loses to a piece of team, therefore they don't have to worry about the "who should be ranked ahead of who" arguement because the teams that beat them never have a shot in of being ranked in the Top 10-15. When UT and uo and UGA and LSU all are losing to each other, then you have to worry about the silly stratification.
When there is no one else on the left coast to vote for, of course they are going to vote for SC, but if ttek would have lost to Nebraska they wouldn't have a shot in at the MNC. Its just the way it is. SC is overrated because they are SC.
i stand corrected on florida. sorry i forgot about that.
but! usc lost to osu when they werent ranked, much as how you cant say texas beat another ranked team last weekend just bc kansas was ranked earlier.
who cares, the pollsters obviously didn't have it correct. oregon state usually starts slow...they are obviously a good team. and anyone who watched the utah game knows the beavers won.
SC losing a conference game here and there doesn't mean they are overrated. what happens when they play top 10 teams? that aside, oregon state isn't a piece of team.
i wish okla state was good enough to make a bcs game and face SC...the anal pounding that would ensue; probably gives you nightmares.
maybe not but its still fact that at the time, Oregon State was not ranked. SC should not have lost to them.
