how are we 21st in the bcs?


Nov 5, 2007, 10:54 AM

we are 20th in both human polls and 16 according to the computers. so how does that average out to 21?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

AP doesn't count


Nov 5, 2007, 10:59 AM

It uses the Harris Poll.

"That the Tigers' Roar May Echo, O'er the mountain height."




he's referring to the Harris-- we are 20th there as well.


Nov 5, 2007, 11:24 AM

The reason is the human polls have some teams ranked above us that are below us in the computer poll avg. and vice versa. It works out to be 21 but things are very tight. If the SEC wasn't so overated in the human polls we would be about 17 or 18 in BCS which is where we should be.

Nov 5, 2007, 11:24 AM [ in reply to how are we 21st in the bcs? ]

We're actually tied for 20th with Boise State, but lose the tiebreaker with them (they are 19th in both polls, we are 20th in both but higher in computers). Virginia, despite being 21st in both polls, is 19th in the BCS due to being 14th in computers.

(for my post, both polls = Harris and Coaches, AP doesn't count towards BCS)

Notice that a 6-4 Spurrier team still gets votes in the AP


Nov 5, 2007, 11:29 AM

but a 6-3 Arkansas team that just ran all over them got no votes at all?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wrong. Arkansas got more points than SC in AP & USA today.****

SEC


Nov 5, 2007, 1:07 PM

I don't understand why or how anyone can rank 7 teams from one conference in the top 25. Who cares if they are beating each other, doesn't it cross anyone else's mind that they are beating each other because none of them with the exception of LSU are as good as they normally are. Every conference beats other teams in the same conference and they don't have 7 ranked teams. Not saying that the acc should have more, I just think its crap that a third of all the ranked teams are from one conference. What happens if Kansas, Ohio State, and LSU all win the rest of their games. LSU will still be #2 with one loss and Kansas will be left out of the national title game being undefeated because "the sec is such a tough conference". The ranking have just gotten a little out of hand, that is all.

While it's a tough choice, LSU would probably go over Kansas because LSU is clearly a better team. You can put money in the bank that LSU will do the same thing to OSU that UF did to them last year if they play for the NC.

Re: SEC is overrated


Nov 5, 2007, 5:20 PM [ in reply to SEC ]

I have been preaching this for at least the last 8 weeks. I call in just about every day onto the radio sports talk shows and all they do is laugh at me.
How in the worl does Kentucky who didnt even play jump ahead of FSU who beat the no 2 team on the road?

PEOPLE LOOK AT STRENGHT OF SCHEDULE WITH OHIO STATE AND KANSAS. I HATE THE SEC....BUT LSU WOULD DESTROY KANASAS OR OHIO STATE. MISSOURI WILL EASLIY BEAT KANSAS. MY GUESS IS MICHIGAN WILL PROBALLY BEAT OSU EVEN AT THE HORSESHOE OR COME REALLY CLOSE.

CLEMSON 35 WAKE 17
