I was surprised when I learned about the BCS ranking starting today while watching the game last night. I thought we were dealing with BCS already. Lets hope OU goes straight to the top when its out tonight.

Thunder, that's not going to happen and isn't important at this point. All OU has to do is keep winning and they'll be there.

mmmm, I like it like that. ;-)

5 or 6 of the computer rankings go all season long, but they aren't broadcast in the mainstream media. The Harris poll just started last weekend. Today (Sunday) will be the first time the Peter Wolfe computer poll will run and is the last "missing" component to the BCS. The BCS polls I've been posting for the last couple of weeks include only the data that is available.

Well I could see some issues coming up if Wisconsin, Stanford, and Clemson all win out. Boise State too I guess. I doubt we'll end up with 6 unbeatens this year.

You're the only one I've heard of that thinks that. If OU wins out with the schedule they have left (which is much more difficult than any of those schools) they have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, and it all just depends on who tanks like Florida State or who maintains. I think many just assume OU will get there if they win out because that is how it has worked in the past. However, the Big Ten have a conference championship now so that could boost Wisconsin even more. Although they are pretty far back in the BCS composite score (0.7532 vs OU's 0.9498).

Yes, but look at the dogs they might play in a Big Ten championship. OU has nothing to worry about as long as they win.

OU vs SEC champ if they win out...Now if OSU wins out then it might be more interesting

Still a lot of football left to play yet... but with the SEC, Big 10 having conference championships I wonder if that will help or hurt the Big 12.

Projected BCS for today...last computer poll won't be out until this evening. Here is a look at the raw data, sorry for the formatting but the forum doesn't allow tables to be displayed any better.

Interesting that OU has actually jumped LSU thanks to computer love.

Playing Tulsa does not help us, with strength of schedule. You could add ball State to that as well.

Perhaps not, but for that matter, playing the annual cottonbowl gig this year likely dinna garner many tough opponent points either.

This is going to be extremely close with OU vs OSU.

What if LSU and Alabama fail? OU and OSU wins all game but OSU lose to against OSU. Where will that leave OSU? What if all other teams have at least two losses, but OSU have only one loss? Both OU and OSU are very high ranking so when OSU lose, they shouldn't drop much or stay in 2nd. I think later on. Ou will go to 1 and OSU go to 2. Wonder how much OSU will drop if only losing one game while others have at least two losses. I wish...just a wish...OU and OSU meet again in SEC country. LOL

Sadly, OU and OSwho are at risk, On the horizon are the Boise States and Stanford. Both of whom should win out without too much trouble. Neither plays the difficulty of SEC or Big Ten or even Big 12 opponents week end week out. How many years will we have this discussion?

No they are not. If they win out either OU or OSU will stay above those teams.

All top five teams with two losses? Extremely unlikely. Someone in the top five most likely will end the season undefeated and there's a decent chance it will be two undefeated teams playing in the championship game with a third undefeated team complaining about how they should be playing in that game.

It will either be LSU or Alabama in the number 1 spot with everyone else fighting for number two.

OKLAHOMA : #3

Perfect.

If either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State run the table, they'll be playing for the NC, likely against Alabama or LSU. There is no chance Boise or Stanford beats them out for that position, as long as they win. If they lose, all bets are off. My son was at the 'Bama-OleMiss game this weekend, and he says 'Bama is loaded at every position but quarterback. Either team might be sorry they're playing them, in the long run.

So the last computer did not like OU at all, putting them 5th which is why they fell to 3rd in the final composite compared to what I put earlier. Oklahoma State is overall #1 in the computers.

If I didn't read your posts carefully I would think you were talking about weather models. Can these BCS models be used to predict if we will see a lot of snow this winter? LOL

One computer would not affect OU's ranking, right? Aren't the highest and lowest computer rankings dropped?

Looking at OU specifically...

3 Oklahoma .9301 NR 3 2684 .9418 1 1426 .9668 4 4 2 2 4 5 5 .890

So we have two ranking OU 2nd, three ranking OU 4th, and two ranking OU 5th. So the earlier list had a 2nd place one removed and - at that time - the only 5th place computer removed. However, once the second 5th place computer came in, that drove the average lower since another low rank came in. So yes, highest and lowest were dropped...but a second lowest one of equal value was added into the mix.


If I didn't read your posts carefully I would think you were talking about weather models. Can these BCS models be used to predict if we will see a lot of snow this winter? LOL

LOL No doubt. I'm not sure if I would want to entrust the weather forecast to the BCS though. :-)

OU is getting BLASTED 21-7 so far in the 1st half!OU's D looks like SHIOT!

Yeah, a lot of the past discussion about who will be number 1 or 2 is about to become irrelevant. Defense didn't show up tonight. Scared of thunderstorms apparently.

Where the hell is Ryan? Kenny not playing much? Whaley a crybaby not playing with upset tummy? My frickin gawd!

Where the hell is Ryan? Kenny not playing much? Whaley a crybaby not playing with upset tummy? My frickin gawd!

Thunder, we're friends and all but you have absolutely no clue what it feels like to play in a football game and Whaley was really sick obviously, that's why he didn't play. I was injured one time and the largest venue I've ever played in is a High School stadium and I still had the weight on me of getting out there and playing but I couldn't play and I was out for 1 game and I was dying to get back in before kickoff of the game I had to sit out. Team doctors and coaches take precautionary measures for the safety of the player and ultimately is the main reason he didn't play cause trust me, he wanted to. OU just sucked as a whole tonight, you can't blame Broyles, Stills, or a sick player, a loss is put on the entire team not an individual.

^^Agreed,Special teams,defense and the offense sucked!I predict a loss next week too,I hope they win but maybe this year can be salvaged by a BCS bowl?

Maybe if KS gets a good ranking tonight and we go into Manhattan and beat a possibly Top 10 team then we may have a chance of gaining some of the ground back that we lost.

Oh, and BTW Thunder, Kenny Stills had 2 touchdown grabs, one was a 58-yarder and had 8 catches for 135 yards, so to possibly even try to consider blaming Stills of all people is even more "silly" of you. :LolLolLol

Irrelevant for OU. Very relevant for Oklahoma State, Alabama, LSU, Boise State, Stanford and Kansas State. Did I just type Kansas State?

Wait... You typed Kansas State? It's a sad time in America when Kansas State becomes relevant. What's next, Ole' Miss will win 70 in a row surpassing OU's 47 game winning streak?

Mods - please close this thread. It is irrelevant now. :whiteflag

What the hell? This thread has nothing to do with OU directly.

Whaley a crybaby not playing with upset tummy? My frickin gawd!

Actually he was out with sickness from a possible concussion. So I guess you would rather he risk his life or long term brain damage?


Mods - please close this thread. It is irrelevant now. :whiteflag

Go thing this isn't an OU specific thread. :-P

What the hell? This thread has nothing to do with OU directly.

He's joking. Its no secret that this thread has been OU centric. Looking back at the posts I don't think I see one post other than Venture's weekly BCS postings that isn't debating about whether or not OU will be in BCS game or not.

Now it will become OSU centric until they lose or the season ends. Lol

Who would've ever imagined that OSU was the better team in Oklahoma record wise and had a better chance of getting into the NC game than OU.

I figured OU would drop lower than #9 but I'll take it if they do in fact only fall that far.

What kind of bad behavior did Bobby do to drop him down in the Coaches poll?

Lost to Texas Tech at home. Lol

Umm...the Coaches Poll isn't ranking the coach specifically. LOL

Umm...the Coaches Poll isn't ranking the coach specifically. LOL

I'll explain.

Thunder, the Coaches Poll is a poll that the coaches cast. As in, the Coaches rank the teams and the higher amount of votes a team has the higher they'll be ranked in the Coaches Poll.

So OU didn't do to bad, they dropped 6 spots officially. Wisconsin was dropped 9 spots. So it could have been worse for us. As far as one loss teams...OU has only Oregon ahead of it now. However, how likely is it that OU can make it to New Orleans still...for the last bowl there (the NCG)? Well let's break down each school. As far as rankings, I am using this week's since that is what matters.

Top 25 Teams Only

LSU - Victories against Oregon (#7), West Virginia (#25), and Auburn (#23). They still play #2 Alabama and #10 Arkansas. If they beat Alabama, they'll play at the SEC CG against a team that will be ranked #7 to #15 if SC or UGA keep winning.

Alabama - Win against Arkansas (#10). Upcoming ranked games #1 LSU and #23 Auburn. Overall a much easier schedule compared to LSU. If they lose against LSU, they are probably out of it unless others lose a 2nd time.

Oklahoma State - Wins against TAMU (#16) and Texas (#24). They still have to play #8 KSU, #20 TTU, and #9 OU. They win out and they are going to New Orleans. They are also overall #1 in the computers with only 1 computer ranking them 2nd.

Boise State - Win against #22 Georgia. Upcoming Top 25...none. TCU might be ranked in the Top 25 by the time they play, but if they win TCU drops back out. Same like Stanford...1 lost and they are done. They play very winnable games for the rest of the year, except TCU, so they should be okay. However, we have seen how things go.

Clemson - Wins against #12 Virginia Tech and #23 Auburn. Upcoming Top 25 features...#13 South Carolina. Not a great schedule at all. Again, don't schedule Troy and Wofford. One lost and they are out and I really expect them to lose probably 2 games - and one is next week.

Stanford - Wins against umm errr...well zero Top 25 teams (as of this week). Upcoming top 25 matches is #7 Oregon and...and yeah. They have to win out and hope they face Arizona State in the PAC 12 CG otherwise they are going to get jumped. They lose 1 and they are completely done. Sorry - schedule people other than SDSU and Duke.

Oregon - First 1-loss team in this list and that came against #1 LSU. They do have 1 top 25 win over Arizona State which is now #21. That blow out win at Missouri State isn't going to do much for them though. LOL The upcoming game at Stanford - #6 - will determine who goes to the PAC 12 CG and face Arizona State (again)...perhaps. If ASU loses then the chances of a PAC 12 team going to the title game is pretty slim.

Kansas State - For a team that barely beat Eastern Kentucky, they are getting better every week. They have one Top 25 win over Texas Tech (20), but have a nasty stretch of 4 games coming up. This reminds me a lot of the OU schedule in 2000. This week they have #9 OU, then #3 OSU, then #16 TAMU, and then #24 Texas before finishing up against ISU. If they win out, hello BCS...WTF?! If they lose against OU, but win the final 4 they could still be in the running if other teams lose ahead of them. I know...duh.

Oklahoma - Win over #24 Texas, but loss to #20 Texas Tech. Games ahead #8 KSU, #16 TAMU, and #3 OSU. The Baylor game would mean more if they get back into the Top 25. Still some high quality games there that can get OU back in the thick of it. If they beat KSU and A&M, they very well could be back to #3 or 4 by the time they face OSU (who should be 2nd at the time). So it very well could still be Bedlam = Semifinal for BCS CG.

The other possible contenders...Arkansas still has SC and LSU to come. Michigan State is out of ranked teams to help. The Big Ten CG could help...but it is Big Ten. Be happy with the Rose Bowl you Legendary Leaders. Virginia Tech is done. South Carolina has Arkansas, Clemson, and maybe a SEC CG. Wisconsin has umm...no one left. Nebraska has #11 Michigan State, #18 Michigan, and #19 Penn State.

All in all...for those with interest in the state's schools, we aren't in a bad shape. Win out and you still get to go - more than likely. If OU loses one more they are completely out. OSU...it is better to lose early instead of late, but it might be getting too late at this point.

That would be so awesome to see OSU in New Orleans even though they'd get stomped. Lol if any year within the past 3-4 years was their year, it'd be this year.

Oklahoma State's still going strong. Untill they play Texas Tech atleast. Lol

Tech wins at OU and theyre automatically one of the best teams in the land? It will be a tough game, as they all are in the big 12, but weve already won on the road against a&m, mizzou and texas. I like our chances.

I'll be heading up to Lincoln next weekend to watch the Husker/Mich, State game, hope the Huskers play better than they did against Wisc.

Lol where did I or anyone else say Tech was one of the best teams in the land? Lol congratulations, you're officially the first person to put words in my mouth since I started posting on OKCTalk. You, however, are not the first to take a sarcastic statement I made and make something out of nothing. That's all it was, sarcastic, so don't take it up the butt to hard homie.

If you want to know how I truly feel about this game then I'll tell you. OSU 56-35. It'll be close untill about midway through the 3rd quarter, then OSU does what OSU always does. No loss to Tech bro. Tech may be good enough to keep up with OU on an off night but they're not good enough to get in a shootout with the Pokes.

And I think I made that comment sometime in the 3rd quarter, more towards the start of it. Lol Tech hadn't technically won yet. Lol

I'll be heading up to Lincoln next weekend to watch the Husker/Mich, State game, hope the Huskers play better than they did against Wisc.

That should be a good game IMO. I wouldn't be shocked if Michigan State wins, I wouldn't be shocked if Nebraska wins. Hope it turns into a high scoring shootout. ;-)

I don't think the person was talkin to/about you... The person was talking about how TT magically jumped from the lowest rank to 20th.

Thunder, Tech was 4-2, their only losses were to Texas A&M and Kansas State, both are in the Top 25. Tech wasn't bad to begin with, and they definately weren't the lowest ranked team in the country. He responded to my post so he was talking to me, if he wasn't he shouldn't have picked my post as a quote. I basically said that OSU will lose to Tech sarcasticly and he took it and turned it into Tech was the best team in the country which I never said. Thanks anyways though Thunder.

And also Thunder, Tech beat and pretty much manhandled the #3 team in the country at home and they hadn't lost at home in 39 straight games dating back to '05 so Texas Tech didn't just magically jump to #20, they earned #20. IMO they have had a pretty good year so far with a VERY impressive win.

I still love you though Thunder. :-) you're my buddy. ;-)

In the BCS, TTU was #40 last week.

Good place to look: http://www.bcsguru.com/bcs_standings.htm

They will show current week and previous week rankings. Their rankings include any schools that get any votes in the Harris or Coaches poll. The actual BCS though will completely calculate all FBS and FCS schools out and rank them together.

Hopefully Martinez won't have to pass too much *lol*

:LolLolLol I'm sure all Cornhusker fans feel the same way.
