Not the only poll that matters. There are many watching these things, and some recruits and their HS coaches are taking note of who is on the radar, too. While, I submit that the last poll is the one that tells the tale of the tape, our name on these polls is a good thing in many ways, just like being omitted from them certainly is not helpful at all. IMO

Hope computers like our SOS b/c OSU likely goes undefeated

If Northwestern doesn't beat OSU at Northwestern this weekend, I think OSU goes undefeated. Michigan won't even give them a game and I doubt they'll lose the Big10 championship game.
If Clemson were to go undefeated, I think Clemson would have clearly had the better resume, but it wouldn't surprise me to see us on the outside looking in.

Once again, Razz, I agree with you (and as you know, sometimes I don't. We suffer from the lack of historical national significance associated with many programs like OSU, ND, etc. All we can do is win our games convincingly and hope that objective minds judge us accordingly.

Again, just win. Here's why...

There have only been 14 undefeated teams in the last 12 seasons. Only 3 years in the last 12 have there been multiple teams undefeted.
The likelihood of all 4 teams being undefeated at the end of the year is almost a 0% chance. IF we win, we WILL play for the NC as we will have defeated FOUR top 15 teams and possibly another 1-2 top 25 (NCSU, MD, GT). That's a better schedule than ANY of the three teams ahead of us.
Relax. Just win.

You are forgetting that a 1 lose SEC is an undefeated team.

Several years of undefeated onlookers. 5 undefeated in 2009.

It varies from year to year, but looking at the top dogs' schedules and the play so far THIS SEASON, I could easily see 3-5 undefeated teams at the end of the season-- Bama, OSU, the winner of Oregon@Stanford, the ACC champ, Louisville, & Oklahoma.
Check out all the deserving (sometimes undefeated) teams that were excluded from the BCSNCG...

Ohio St @ #3 bc beating Wisconsin is much more impressive

than a win against UGA. smh
The truth is the pollsters are protecting Ohios St, due to their weak schedule that the BCS System will penalize them for.

Historically, to the coaches, winning is all that matters

Several coaches have publicly stated they don't jump teams that continue to win. The end result is all that matters to them outside of some very specific circumstances. Short version, we show up every week and get our job done and we'll be in good shape - the jumps in the polls will come as attrition claims those ahead of us. Better teams than those ahead (no disrespect) have lost to lesser foes in years past.
As was stated above, statistically, the rest of things tend to work themselves out. Control what we can and don't worry about the rest (yes, I know that's the fun of being here)... Go Tigers!

As they, the pollsters) protect the sec. What other conference team would only drop 2 spots after a loss like AL did after losing at home to LSU a couple of years ago? I dare say, none. Most would have fallen too far away to have recovered from. And yes I understand that AL came back and won the NC convincingly. The point is that most, probably not a single one, would have had the chance to play in the NC game after a loss that close to the end of the season.

It only matters if you win is BS

This attitude put a ND team that probably shouldn't have been in the top ten in a championship. Think about this Louisville will probably not drop a game this year will they play this year? Nope. OSU's schedule isn't much better than theirs. So who you play and how you play does matter. Unless you have it gifted to you already based on perception. No doubt in my mind my top 5 is Oregon Clemson Alabama Georgia Ohio state

couldn't have said it better myself ... Oregon I the ONLY team that I think Clemson on a good day and Oregon on a good day, oregon may take it, they re jut plain scary. I'm confident that on a good day, Clemson could beat anybody, but Oregon is the last team i'd wanna see them face.
