Me too that puts OSU 0.09 back of Alabama in the BCS. We are idle next week so that is a HUGE hill for OSU to climb.

 

[BamaFlum]

.09 is a huge hill? That sounds awfully close.

Yes, that is a very big gap even though it doesn't sound like much.

Considering that Jerry Palm has really dissed us for most of the season in his commentary and rankings, I take this as very encouraging news.

He's got us passing Oklahoma State in some of the computer rankings, which isn't good news for OK State. Of course, that could change if they beat Oklahoma, while we're sitting idle.

I heard an ESPN analyst say on BCS Countdown last night that there is a 95% chance of an LSU-Alabama rematch in the National Championship, even allowing for a scenario where LSU losses by 14 or more to UGA.

I think Iowa State losing to OU in a blow-out yesterday will hurt OSU in the computers...it makes their loss to them look even worse.

I think Iowa State losing to OU in a blow-out yesterday will hurt OSU in the computers...it makes their loss to them look even worse as it certainly will with human voters.

I was thinking the same thing Cat. Do you know if the computers actually pay attention to stuff like that? I guess it depends on the information that is fed into them......

Computers do not factor in margin of victory.

I do wish they would factor in margin of defeat

They pay attention to the fact that ISU lost, but not by how much. OU's victory over ISU did hurt OSU, but only by a tiny fraction.

Yes I heard that too.

almost ignored this thread because I thought it said Palin's projected BCS results.

I was thinking more of in terms of win-loss records and how it plays into their beloved B12...you may be right it may be only marginally affected.
