Brad Edwards on 810. (I know he's given other interviews - but here's the recap)
Oregon has the edge over K-State if both undefeated. Edge in the human polls (2/3 of BCS) favor Oregon over KSU.
odds of all teams undefeated is 1-2%
KSU passed Oregon in computer polls. getting close in human polls.
KEY: how does Oregon rise up in Computers with a comparable 4 games schedule with KSU? It will be very difficult if all teams remain undefeated. Oregon will have trouble getting much higher than #4 in the computers if ND remains undefeated. they are a buffer. KSU best hope is all 4 teams win out (unless Bama) loses.
KSU can get higher in computers. ND cannot (garbage schedule).
ND Factor. If 3 teams undefeated, including ND, doesn't think KSU should be concerned. Humna Poll bump would have happened after the OU game. Didn't. KSU shouldn't be too concerned with ND jumping them in the humn polls if we can go undefeated.
In summary, looks like this thing's a 3 horse race b/w KSU, Oregon, Bama. undefeated ND helps us suppress Oregon's computer ranking and, therefore, BCS ranking.
