As long as The K-State Mask keeps making knee-slappers like this, I’m on board with the Wildcats. It also doesn’t hurt that they just pistol-whipped Miami by 39. They’re just behind WVU in the Big 12.

ya know, I thought we would get jumped by some people, and have some people drop below us, but i did not think we would stay static at 15.

Notre Dame beats some shitty Big 10 team no one has heard of and they jump us? I guess I don't know what I expected.

You can't throw the :lynchmob: when you are insinuating/expecting our D will give up a crap ton of points. That is as bad as anyone calling our D the Lynchmob anytime from 2004 through 2011. I think it is allowable to throw the :lynchmob: when you are at the game and get caught up in the moment, but don't refer to a crappy D as the Lynchmob. Also, I don't think you can talk about us getting beat and our D giving up a crap ton of points and then have AB as your avatar. That is pretty weak crap.

#8 in the coaches but dont you worry the best poll in the country will have us top 5, it will be posted later

4 SEC teams in the top 6- wow
Only 1 of them can go undefeated.

Feels frickin' awesome to be a Top 10 team again.

Nope, we'll be #10 next week after the bye. Just wait. No respect.

There's no way...in order for that to happen #12 Texas, #9 WVU, and #8 Stanford will need to have CONVINCING wins over OKLITE, Baylor, and Washington...respectively. I just don't see that happening. Next weeks slate of games is pretty bad

-
so how far do we fall this week for having a bye? I'm thinking 2 spots? No respect and all. Maybe none at all? Maybe 1? Maybe MORE :confused:
-
Did any top 25 really have a dominating game this weekend? The ones I watched (Baylor WVU, GA TENN, UT OSU, MSU Ohio) the answer seems to be no. Will be huge disrespect when we drop.
-
I will melt down so hard. On the bright side, if we stay where we are we are guaranteed to jump the loser of Scar/UGA after we stomp KU's balls.
-
still 8 in coaches
-
Big 12 in at WVU No. 7, KSU No. 8, UT No. 9, TCU No. 13, OU No. 14, TTU No. 24.
half of the conference is in the top 15

Baylor is at "31" OSU "40"....Miami at "33"

Miami at "37" in AP
-
miami is looking really good right now. (as a dominant win, not necessarily as a team)
-
When do we jump all of these garbage SEC teams? I thought this would be the week for sure after crap teams like Georgia and South Carolina looked awful against crap teams like Tennessee and Kentucky.
-
We got more points this week.

florida shouldn't jump us. I mean the voters are retards, so anything can happen, but the voters had been cooling on lsu and they only won by 8 at home.

I mean, SEC bias and all that, but Florida did have a very good W today. Plus they won on the road at Aggie.
They have an argument, and an argument is all it takes for the voters to hate on EMAW.

Because LSU looked like dog crap (just like they have all year) - as did Florida. Turn-overs & a win off a couple of untouched rushing touchdowns. A blowout of KU seems more impressive.

Does everyone remember that LSU was #2 a couple of weeks ago? They were losing respect already... a loss to Florida justifies the voters earlier suspicions.

The voters earlier suspicions were that they were the #3 team in the nation you jack wagon!

You guys know that Florida just beat #3 LSU, right?
You mean the same LSU with no impressive wins outside of a squeaker at Auburn who only has one OT victory over Louisiana Monroe? That LSU? Yeah. I know.
After looking at everything objectively:
1 Alabama
2 Oregon
3 South Carolina
4 West Virginia
5 Kansas State
6 Notre Dame
7 Florida
8 Ohio State
9 USC
10 Oregon State
13 OU
17 UT
24 ISU
25 TCU
RV Nubb
Bet Oregon even gets some 1 votes.
ok so if wv jumps us(based on your rankings). Why wouldn't Florida?

think about what you just said. A blowout win against KU seems more impressive than a win against the #3 team in the nation!!!
-
Ok Heinballz, we'll see who who's right tomorrow. I bet it's me.
i hope it's you.
-
EMAW will be ranked #4 in my TMB Top 25 poll unless Oregon suffers an historic collapse in the 2nd half.
-
I kinda wish that we wouldn't go up at all in the rankings... I don't want us to let our guard down for ISU. I want the team to be hungry and feel like they still have to prove themselves.
Heck, it might be good if we move down.

You could be right... I've just thought LSU was over rated since the beginning of the year. I honestly think your assessment on SEC love could be spot on. But then again - ND hasn't jumped us yet... so we're already getting some pretty serious love that no one here can ignore.

Have you watched LSU play or looked at who they've beaten? I could accept an argument that "It's SEC!!!" but jumping all over "They were #3!!!" and being bad person-ish about it doesn't suit you. I liked you a lot better when you're weren't a douche bag.

You might have LSU as being overrated, but the fact is the voters have them as the third best team in the nation. They think pretty highly of them. So those same voters who had LSU as the third best team in the nation are probably going to think Florida had a big time win and give them a big bounce.

Yeah, LSU hasn't looked impressive, but still, it's the SEC and people love the SEC because it's the SEC. Stupid? Yeah, but Florida is going to get credit for beating the #3 team in the country.
ND (probably) isn't going to jump us because their only wins are against middle of the road Big 10 teams and middle of the road (sorry miami) ACC teams. Voters aren't going to really buy into ND until they beat Stanford at home and OU on the road.
Because if ND beats OU on the road, only ACC bottom dwellers and USC stand between them and the NC game.

heinballz is ignorant and wrong!!! :curse:

Do not care, as long as EITHER K-State or WVU move up. After the WVU game, I'll know whether to give a crap.
-
I swear you idiots will meltdown over anything.
yeah, a pre-meltdown over something that probably won't even happen is pretty impressive
-
Florida's a good team - but I think the best they can do is jump ND. I'm basically pinning all of this as everyone having some serious love for us; ND love > than SEC Love... I don't think ND did enough to pass us..
keep in mind CK has some serious Tebow like karma surrounding him. We're not so much america's team as CK is America's QB.
I could be wrong though :dunno:

also... according to AP, LSU was #4. We're ranked higher in the AP, so naturally, that's what I'm predicting.

This rough rider has us at 6, which is where we prolly end up today.
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2012/10/07/my-ap-top-25-football-ballot-alabama-remains-no-1-florida-climbs-oregon-drops/
* I moved Florida to No. 2 (up five spots) after its victory over Louisiana State. Of course, that meant dropping Oregon one position after its blowout win over Washington.
He has zero respect for the Big 12, will be interesting to see how many agree with this rough rider.
* LSU slid one spot down the ballot, to No. 7.
My assessment of the Tigers was as simple as this: They lost on the road to what was the No. 7 team (Florida); no reason to drop them any further.
(Florida was No. 10 in the AP poll, so other voters may punish LSU a bit more for the loss than I did.)
* West Virginia only moved up two positions, to No. 11, following its victory at Texas.

LSU prolly loses again this week.

rob not long, what a dickhead
I called him Rob Dong on twitter. I would imagine he gives us a healthy bump in next week's poll whether we win or lose after that.

Four teams is the fewest the Big 12 has had all season, but Baylor and TCU will play next week. The winner likely climbs back into the top 25.

also... according to AP, LSU was #4. We're ranked higher in the AP, so naturally, that's what I'm predicting I'm predicting we'll be #5 in coaches.
IN YOUR FAT FACE BUCKET!!!

We were #10 when we played Marshall, and I doubt we moved to top 5 after beating OU. #3 when we lost to OU in 2000.....
Edit: We were #5 preseason and still #5 after the first week of 2003. Moved to #6 after that.

6th. One of the articles I saw had us at #10, but the ESPN polls show us at #6 in both.

Is this 2003 ranking before Marshall thing going to tie in with WVU beating Marshall this year?

we are 7 in Sagarin's ELO Chess and have a better predictor than WVU.

I don't know if anyone cares, but here is where the BCS ranking stands now with 3 of the 6 computers reporting. The actual BCS throws out the high and low of the 6, but for this I just used the 3 available. The 4th and 5th will come out Tues/Wed and the 6th won't be released until after next week. When the 4th comes out, I'll update using those 4. When the 5th comes out, I'll update throwing out the biggest "outlier", whether its the highest or lowest. If you don't like looking at it this way now, ignore this post.

When the 4th comes out, I'll update using those 4. When the 5th comes out, I'll update throwing out the biggest "outlier", whether its the highest or lowest. If you don't like looking at it this way now, ignore this post.

Kirk just said on National Television that EMAW will NOT go to the Natty if Oregon goes undefeated.

NO QUESTION IN HIS MIND none the less

If they play and beat USC twice, there is no way that we leap Oregon in the Coaches Poll or Harris Poll.

agreed, look what happened with florida against a shitty lsu team that was waaaay overrated... what happens if ND beats stanford and usc and oregon goes undefeated? there is a lot of football to be played win the dr pepper and let everything else sort itself out
-
it would really be fitting that in the last years before a playoff KSU would go undefeated but get screwed by undefeated Oregon, 1 loss note dame and 1 loss SEC team. Kick in the nuts like every really good year

Need OU to piss pound ND and ND to Skull eff standford and USC, we need the computers to be all over our D.

I think there are 20 voters or so but some of them usually forget to send in their ballots.

Of the top 15 posters on this board, numbers wise, 12 are socks. Just saying.

SD found this one
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2012/10/14/my-ap-top-25-football-ballot-alabama-is-no-1-notre-dame-falls-texas-disappears/
Highlights (this will be quicker than usual because I have to catch a flight home from Chicago)…
* Kansas State jumped to No. 2, a six-spot improvement from last week, after its victory at Iowa State.
That’s not an easy place to win and, combined with the win in Norman last month, gives the Wildcats two impressive road Ws.
(I also took Oklahoma’s performance vs. Texas into account when evaluating K State.)
Also, further proof that the small number of you who were cheering for UT are rough ridin' stupid.
-
#4 for this guy
http://blogs.clarionledger.com/msu/2012/10/14/this-weeks-ap-top-25-ballot-6/
I wrestled with a few teams. Should Stanford remain ranked after losing in overtime to Notre Dame? Does Kansas State deserve to be ranked ahead of Florida?
-
Guess this rough rider didn't see our Miami, OU, or ISU games....
http://blogs.rgj.com/packblog/2012/10/14/chris-murrays-weekly-top-25-college-football-ballot-3/
* We didn’t have any huge gainers this week, but Note Dame did rise to a season high of No. 4 on my ballot. With wins over Michigan, Michigan State and now Stanford, the Irish has been mighty impressive. No. 5 Kansas State and No. 6 Oregon State also hit season highs and No. 24 Texas Tech made its debut.

Combination of both.
Which leads me to - do we want Notre Dame undefeated when they lose to OU? That would make the victory look even better, right?

you guys are all way over thinking this stuff. if we win out, we'll be playing in the championship game. nothing else matters.

ND throws all kind of wrenches into the BCS system. It would be good for them to lose a couple times.

Two weeks from now, we will be the toast of College football. After dismantling Schlubberville and the Raider rash to move to 8-0, we will get to watch OU pound ND's puss into the ground, and USC take down Oregon in the rose bowl. SnyderCats will ascend to #2 and Manhattan will be :emawkid:

Oregon won't win out. USC twice, and @Oregon State. Oregon State is definitely overrated, but they'll be up for that game.

Just quickly looked through some Florida message boards and they are NOT happy that we jumped them in the Coaches poll. :gocho:
-
Kansas State takes its best ranking since 2000 to Morgantown, W.Va., where the Mountaineers will be looking to bounce back from a startling 49-14 loss at Texas Tech. Kansas State is the only unbeaten team left in the Big 12, and Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein seems to have taken the Heisman Trophy front-runner status from West Virginia's Geno Smith.
-
A message board is no place for hypothetical situations and prognostication folks.
Also not an appropriate place for calling out battered wife dumbass whiners.

While we are disregarding Steve Dave's prohibition on hypothetical situations and prognostications, I'd like to say that South Carolina beating Florida, then moving on to upset Alabama in the SEC title game sounds hot and sexy.
And because I dislike blue balls, I'll add to that the notion of USC beating Oregon at the Rose Bowl, and top it off with OU beating Notre Dame....and then entire rough ridin' country arguing over who deserves a shot at LHC Bill Snyder's Wildcats in the BCS championship game.

Bill's style is the absolute worst for Sagarin's other rating systems.
Did not realize that ELO_CHESS was all that was taken into account for BCS. Good to hear.
Yeah, Sagarin buries it in the text because he thinks it's bullshit he has to provide ELO_CHESS. However, in order to get paid, he has to do it. He posts his rankings in the order of a different system as an eff you to the BCS. However, the point of football is to win the game, not score as many points as possible while holding your opponents to the least amount of points over the course of the season.
-
So if I'm seeing this correctly there are 11 ranked and undefeated teams halfway through the season. This seems like a lot. I wonder what the average is.

He got in very early as a supplier for computer rankings for the BCS. After a while, they made a rule change that BCS computers can't take into account margin of victory. I don't know if he'd already developed ELO_CHESS or did it for the BCS, but he had to start supplying it instead in order to stay part of the BCS because it accounts for W/L, margin of victory.

#4 in Harris
1. Bama, 2. Oregon, 3. Florida, 4. KSU, 5. ND
-
While we are disregarding Steve Dave's prohibition on hypothetical situations and prognostications, I'd like to say that South Carolina beating Florida, then moving on to upset Alabama in the SEC title game sounds hot and sexy.
And because I dislike blue balls, I'll add to that the notion of USC beating Oregon at the Rose Bowl, and top it off with OU beating Notre Dame....and then entire rough ridin' country arguing over who deserves a shot at gets to destroy LHC Bill Snyder's Wildcats in the BCS championship game.

BCS Standing using only Harris & Coaches right now:
1. Bama: .9991
2. Oregon: .9590
3. KSU: .8844
4. Florida: .8838
5. ND: .8462
That's a decent margin over ND. ND & Florida both killed us in the computers last week, but we already made up 4 spots in the Saragin this week, including jumping ND. The human polls factor in how many voter points you have, not your ranking position. The computers go straight off ranking positions.

you guys are all way over thinking this stuff. if we win out, we'll be playing in the championship game. nothing else matters.
So if Alabama, KSU, and Notre Dame all win out, who will KSU play in the NC game?
that isn't going to happen so it doesn't matter.
Yes. The chances of that happening are about the same as getting attacked by a polar bear and a regular bear on the same day.

For argument sake using the current BCS rankings, if Oregon runs the table they would have wins over (8)Oregon State (20)Stanford (10)USC twice. If the cats run the table they would have wins over (9)Oklahoma (13)West Virginia (17)Texas Tech (23)TCU (24)Iowa State (25)Texas. Hard to imagine the cats not jumping them, right?

It depends on where all of those teams are ranked at the end of the year. Also, Oregon was ranked ahead of us in the preseason polls, so they have that going for them.
-
So for the computer average, it assigns a rank to your average and that is what is figured in?
I mean our computer average is 3, but because Bama's average is slightly less than 3, we get a four?
Tell me that our actual average of the computer rankings is what goes in and not our averages rank.

We are 1/100th of a point behind them right now.

Our actual average of the computer rankings is what goes in.
You throw out the highest and lowest computer rankings so you are left with 4 rankings. For each of those 4 you get "points" based on your rank. You get 25 points for 1st, 24 points for 2nd, down to 1 point for 25th. You sum your points and divide by 100 to get you computer score. Our computer rankings were 1,2,3,3,4,5. Using the middle four we got 92 points for a computer score of .92. This is the fourth highest computer value. For some reason ESPN is going by that and saying our computer "average" is four, when really our computer average is 3 for the fourth highest.
Also, your Harris poll score is calculated by how many voters points you have divided by 2,875 and your coaches poll score is calculated by how many voter points you have divided by 1,475. These are each the max points in each poll.

I just got a chance to look at the numbers. It's pretty clear that if we beat WVU and Florida loses to SC we will pick up plenty of votes in the human polls to jump Oregon in the BCS rankings.
Will that throw the national media into a hissy fit? How can all these media geniuses fail to understand how the math works? It's simple addition and division. They have calculators. This is their job.
They must see it coming and are just waiting to explode with their faux disbelief to stir up ratings. There is no other explanation.

Probably not. K State already dominates Oregon in the computers. Very little upside there. We need human votes. And we will get them when Florida and Notre Dame lose. Patience.

We were only 0.03 behind Oregon last week. If people like this ass whooping more than Oregon's of ASU we will jump. The computers will definitely see ours as better.

yeah, I'm kinda curious where dlew and others got their info. we were neck and neck with oregon in the initial rankings.

i think we jump Oregon in the BCS. We were close to them in the BCS rankings, and I think our human rankings will go up. Maybe not jumping anyone in the actual ranking but our points will go up. Some voters who have Notre Dame and Oregon in front of us will move us up in their polls. #3 KSU CATS!
-
I don't think we jump Oregon in the human polls. Should we? Probably. Our resume is much better, especially with OU trucking along. Oregon's game on thursday was every bit the ass-whooping as ours was tonight.
Is WVU better than ASU? Maybe? But voters aren't going to put us ahead of them, imho.

Oregon's schedule may be tougher coming in, which is a joke cause Stanford and Oregon State is trash. Pac-12 championship does adds another ranked team to their schedule. Colorado and Cal sucking helps.

If we run the slate, we're in....so, I hope everyone can relax for just a second and let that sink in.
Rod Gilmore is about as bitter about this new reality as humanly possible. He could barely look at the camera and utter the words "Kstate is going to probably jump Oregon". Pretty sure he chipped a tooth.
Suck it, Rod.

Win and we're fine. We still have opponents who are currently 6-2, 4-2, 5-2, 3-3, and 5-2 left. Our league is really good.

The new dig against K-State is that we bought out a head to head vs Oregon. Seems to really be ruffling some feathers out in duck country. Look for the quacking to ratchet up a notch after the new BCS rankings are released...

Not shocking. They beat the #7 team by 33. In all, the voter point swing was only 13, which is less than I thought it would be. That equates to a .0029 swing in the BCS. If that's all we lost in the coaches poll after Florida's win, I'm fine with that. We'll get all those back and then some when Bama or Florida lose at the end of the season anyway.

Yea, there is no concern over the SEC. They are getting a team in almost for sure, but they won't get two as long as UO or us stay undefeated.

KSU is #1 in my heart

The real story in the coaches poll is that we gained 30 voter points, or .0068 in the BCS standings, on Oregon. Also, Oregon got 50 of the 59 2nd place votes, so unless they start stealing 1st place votes from Bama, they will only be able to gain back at most 13 of those voter points. They have very, very little opportunity in this poll to grow a lead (or possibly after tonight, gain BCS points) on KSU.

Kstate would officially wreck college football if, despite a 12-0 record...a 1 loss team met Alabama in an SEC Title game rematch. Would be way worse than the Oregon snub of 2001.

There would be a lot of voters that would put K-State at #2 with the SEC loser at #3 or #4 (see: Ok State last year). SEC is not a threat.
-
Plus Alabama's schedule will still be weaker, with KSU ahead in the computer polls.

I'm not worried about SEC getting 2 in. I'm worried about Oregon. Even if we are ahead of them now, they have Oregon St/USCx2/Stanford to gain ground on us.

AP does not matter Duncan
-
yeah, i know. just thought it was interesting.
-
Insiders article on espn says Oregon would have a hard time ending up #2...in a sign of how ridiculous the computers can be...if they beat usc the 1st time and again in the cc game the fact that usc would then have 3 losses would hurt their computer #s (despite 2 of the losses being to Oregon) and that would hurt them significantly enough that an undefeated ksu should jump them...fwiw
I agree 2 SEC teams is highly unlikely, if not impossible, just spitballing
-
Win out and we are in /thread
-
We picked up 30 net points on Oregon in the coaches poll (despite falling from 3rd to 4th)
That is a difference of .0068 in the BCS total.
We trailed Oregon by .0030 last week.
Boom. Roasted duck.
Also gained net 2 spots in Sagarin against Oregon.

when does the Harris Poll get released?

Ducks have the Buffies at home next week. The gift that keeps on giving.

There might be a better thread to post it in, but in the 24 hour window after a big win I doubt anyone cares: How are people not taking the idea of Florida knocking off Bama in the SEC Championship Game more seriously? It wouldn't really affect us, but I'd rather play a head coach going to the NC for the first time than one going for their 19th.

I've watched Florida a few times. They really aren't that great. Their offense won't move at all on Alabama, and Bama has an offense good enough to move the chains on UF.
It will be something like a 9-3 fap match that SEC fans will cream over.

Harris Poll Out:
1. Bama - 2868
2. Oregon - 2727
3. Florida - 2622
4. KSU - 2571
5. ND - 2374
-
That puts us .0355 behind Oregon using only the human polls. For reference, last week we were .0497 behind Oregon in the human polls (gained .0142) and ahead of them by .0467 in the computers. If the computers hold the same, we will be .0112 ahead of Oregon. For reference, we already gained 2 spots in them on the Sagarin.

That explains why he tries so hard to run up the score. We could have beaten WVU by 70 like Chip would have if he had a roster as talented as ours, but Bill put in the second team and let off the gas in the 4th qtr.

probably luke'd, but Oregon will hurt their computer #'s if they beat USC twice. So if it stays close between us (and judging by remaining schedule, it will) then they could start a "does beating usc hurt our program" thread at goEMAD and it would be true.

2012 BCS rankings projections, Week 10: Kansas State, Alabama now on title course, but big mess coming
That playoff the college football poobahs are bringing along will be here about two years too late. There's a pretty good chance that four teams with BCS ties (and that includes Notre Dame) will finish the regular season undefeated.
How good of a chance? Let's put it this way: Of the 18 remaining games that Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame have yet to play, there are only four in which these teams won't be favored by double digits, and only one in which one of those teams might even be an underdog.

Kansas State - The Wildcats will be the heavy favorites in their four remaining games - home to Oklahoma State and Texas and visiting TCU and Baylor. Piloted by the current Heisman frontrunner Collin Klein, Kansas State also has the advantage of not having to play in a conference title game - but that same fact may very well hurt its cause in the final BCS standings.
My odds on running the table: 90 percent.

Ubs thinks we will be left out
Kansas State needs style points or losses by top-five teams. I didn't buy Notre Dame as a team good enough to run the table ... until last night. The Fighting Irish beat Oklahoma convincingly, and in the process won over a whole lot of voters. K-State did its dirty work early, beating the Sooners, West Virginia and then Texas Tech on Saturday. But in the final month of the season, the Wildcats might go without a matchup against a Top 25 team, while BCS challengers Notre Dame and Oregon go head-to-head with USC, and the Ducks also get a shot at Oregon State to close the season. The chances of K-State hanging on to the No. 2 spot if Notre Dame wins out are minimal at best. Oregon will be a nailbiter. It's unfair for the Wildcats, but somebody has to get left out if there are three or four undefeated teams. As it stands, K-State looks like the team that will get stuck on the outside looking in. That said, there's still a month of football left to be played -- nobody thought Oklahoma State would lose to Iowa State last year, or that West Virginia would lose to Pitt back in 2009. Anything can happen.

After watching No. 1 Alabama dismantle No. 11 Mississippi State 38-7 in front of a sellout crowd of 101,821 fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night, I can offer you an educated guess.
The argument over No. 2 doesn't even matter. You might as well blindfold me, force me to the ground, and let Nick Saban eff my face, because I am his dirty whore of a sex slave. I would sooner gobble Nick Saban's balls than breath another gasp of air on this Earth. I dream of Nick Saban leaving a steaming pile of disrespect on my chest on the 50 yard line of Bryant-Denny Stadium at halftime.

John Hunt's AP ballot: Ducks slip to No. 3; Beavers to No. 12
Obviously a Oregon homer, but THIS is what we have to fear...
http://www.oregonlive.com/pac-12/index.ssf/2012/10/john_hunts_ap_ballot_ducks_slip_to_no_3_beavers_to.html
Notre Dame leaps Florida and Oregon with its win at Oklahoma. Yes, I know the Ducks were playing their cheerleaders by the third quarter against Colorado, but the Irish was very impressive against a very good team.
Kansas State nearly leaps the Ducks, too. K-State has beaten the better teams (Oklahoma, West Virginia, Texas Tech); Oregon has looked better beating teams (everyone). So the Ducks remain ahead of K-State at No. 3.
Oregon State falls to No. 12 after its loss at Washington. It was a slide more than a plummet, as there aren't too many quality one-loss teams.
The ballot ...
1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Oregon
4. Kansas State

On Ubbs' twitter machine he (Ubb) was saying he thinks it is a mistake for the athletic department to not send voters hookers and info about KSU's accomplishments. Although he said it wasn't enough to get OSU over the hump last year, I agree -- we need to be pandering. Hard. It would be a shame to not be able to say we'd done everything imaginable to curry favor.

I don't think you have the correct sagarin
Here is Sagarin's BCS Top 10: 1. Kansas State; 2. Notre Dame; 3. Florida; 4. LSU; 5. Oklahoma; 6. Georgia; 7. Alabama; 8. Oregon; 9. South Carolina; 10. Texas Tech.
Before you blow a fuse, remember those are his ratings that do not include margin of victory – as dictated by the BCS. In his preferred Predictor ratings, Sagarin's top five are:
Alabama
Notre Dame
Kansas State
Oregon
Oklahoma

They just ran their projection on ESPNU...had us second in their projected BCS.

We are ahead of ND by 59 points and ND doesn't have another game that is going to make enough coaches put them ahead of KSU. There are 59 voters in that poll.
-
ND now plays a string of three consecutive complete dogshit teams. they also end their season on the 24th (against probably a 3 loss USC team) while we get to parade in front of the voters against Texas to end the season on 12/1. they are meaningless to us at this point. not a threat.
-
If USC doesn't beat Oregon, they will have a minimum of 4 losses if ND beats them. USC either helps us or they're a dogshit win for Oregon/ND

yep. despite us being heavily favored in all our remaining games, they are all more difficult than really any of ND's games.

By the looks of it, Kansas State gets the most help if Texas can somehow teach their players on defense how to tackle and win out until getting demolished December 1st.

so, it's kind of a three horse race, and I think ND vs. KSU vs. Oregon is far more beneficial to us than KSU vs. Oregon. ND may split off a lot of voters from Oregon (sexy chasers) and let us inch ahead with our steady, hard working midwestern voters sticking with us. Think about it.

We'll be alright. OSU doesn't look like complete dogshit. TCU and BAYLOR are on the road (perceived as tougher) and Texas is Texas. Would help if the 'horns win out until Dec 1st.

USC is 6-2. They have beaten teams with a combined record of 16-32. Their best win? Washington (4-4). They have lost to teams that are a combined 11-5. And they are the BEST team ND has yet to play.
ND will plummet in the computers as they continue to play cupcakes. Our schedule is incredible compared to theirs (and on par with Oregon's). I think we are in good shape.
Edit: And we get a shot at yet ANOTHER top 25 team next week. Our biggest concern should be winning out.

He's really had the right formula. Set your expectations low with your screen name, then your solid posts look like homeruns. Well done.

#3 in Harris and even got a first place vote. I think we are in very good shape here guise.
The only chance ND had of passing us in the BCS was this week....they are already behind us in the human polls and their computer rankings will only get worse. From a computer standpoint, our remaining schedule matches pretty closely to Oregons. I don't think they can make up much ground on us in the computers.

My super advanced BCS calculating shows us expanding our lead against Oregon and ND didn't close the gap at all.

ND now plays a string of three consecutive complete dogshit teams. they also end their season on the 24th (against probably a 3 loss USC team) while we get to parade in front of the voters against Texas to end the season on 12/1. they are meaningless to us at this point. not a threat.
The other thing is that Oregon is going to completely devalue wins over USC (should Oregon win out).
Oregon is going to hurt themselves by beating USC, and Notre Dame would hurt themselves (and Oregon) by beating USC.

One fun thing about this race...
Because ESPN is building it up to be this huge soap opera of, "Who's #2!?!?!" each week, and we're being mentioned with Notre Dame and Oregon, the spotlight will be on every single week.
It's all ABC or Big Fox from here on out, and this is going to do nothing but help Klein...and national perception.
Also, because we'd have the only game on 12/1 with BCS bowl implications on a college campus, my guess is that Gameday would be in Manhattan for Texas, and it would be on ABC at 7 PM. The only other Conf. Champ game they own that day is the ACC, and that would most likely be played on ESPN at 6:45 PM CST because it doesn't have national title implications.
The 2012 Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game, which will be played on December 1 in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., will be nationally televised by either ABC, with an 8 p.m. kickoff, or ESPN at 7:45 p.m. It will be the fourth straight prime time exposure for the ACC title game which drew a sellout crowd of 73,675 fans last year and has averaged 73,027 fans in its two years in Charlotte.
Notre Dame ends their season on 11/24 against USC, the Pac-12 title game is Friday night on Fox, and the SEC title game will be on CBS at 3 PM and will end around when our game kicks off. We would go up against the Big Ten title game head-to-head on Fox that night, and no one is going to give a **** about it because no one cares about a meaningless Nebraska vs. Wisconsin game.
The last big game of the year would be us, in prime time, on ABC with Brent and Herbie calling it while Chris, Lee, Desmond, and Pollack roam BSFS.
You can't ask for much more when you're trying to win a Heisman and impress voters for the BCS selection the following day. Especially when the opponent is Texas.

Clean up on aisle 3.

We made a HUGE jump on Oregon in both the USA and the Harris polls (the gap last week was 0.0532...the gap this week is 0.0205)
...when the BCS standings come out, there will be a CANYON between Oregon and the wild wild wildcats.
Even if the Domers pass us in the computer rankings this week (but I don't think they will), there is no way they will stay there given their crap hole remaining schedule.

Wait, why can't Gameday broadcast from the SEC championship game? ESPN doesn't have the rights to LSU/Bama this weekend either but they're still going there. :dunno:

Oregon State plays Stanford before Oregon can play either of them. Either way that game is a win/win
If OSU gets the L, then they'll drop almost out of the top 25, and then drop all the way after they lose to Oregon
If Stanford gets the L, it will make Stanford a 4 loss team after they lose to Oregon. Not only does it hurt Oregon, but Notre Dame as well.

Although I have no idea what the computers are going to say, I think it's pretty safe to say that ND will easily jump Oregon this week in the BCS (i predict they will be 3rd by a decent margin over Oregon). If we stay the same in the computer polls (again, even though we played a damn good Tech team, who knows), it is numerically impossible for ND to pass us this week in the BCS. I can't envision a scenario (other than us losing obviously) where either ND or Oregon will jump us by years end.

The butthurt and meltdowns were premature...the Harris and Coaches poll have all but eliminated us being left out of the NC game. The only way ND had a chance was to jump us in the human polls and the only way Oregon can jump us is if they add about 4 really good games to the end of their schedule.
Edit: The only caveat to this is that I have no idea how an EXTRA game effects the computers. Our schedule and Oregons schedule are very similar from here forward (Oregon's opp's have 2 more wins than our opp's)...but they do get that one additional game.

Alabama's no more of a sure thing than anyone else. From last week:

in BCS poll. Only LSU in '07 was No. 1 going into regular
season finale, and lost.

But at least 1 of those 4 is dropping out of the rankings. I don't think anyone is giving the Cats credit for beating a "ranked" Iowa State team.

After watching No. 1 Alabama dismantle No. 11 Mississippi State 38-7 in front of a sellout crowd of 101,821 fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night, I can offer you an educated guess.
The argument over No. 2 doesn't even matter. You might as well blindfold me, force me to the ground, and let Nick Saban eff my face, because I am his dirty whore of a sex slave. I would sooner gobble Nick Saban's balls than breath another gasp of air on this Earth. I dream of Nick Saban leaving a steaming pile of disrespect on my chest on the 50 yard line of Bryant-Denny Stadium at halftime.
Is this guy a TURD LICKING HOMO! :horrorsurprise:

ND is a non factor, the KSU to Oregon gap at .26 is all that matters

You know those guys on ESPN are paid to disagree with each other, right?

Why don't they bring up that the big 12 is easily the toughest conference top to bottom? The only reason our remaining schedule appears to be getting easier is because someone has to lose these conference games. Tcu was ranked a long time but their losses are just a product of a brutal league schedule.
-
Well here's what scares the crap out of me...Oregon actually jumped 2 places in 2 computer polls this week by beating a ONE win Colorado team.

Yep, that's the same reason so many SEC teams are ranked. They don't play each other. Alabama is only going to play one out of Florida/South Carolina/Georgia (none if LSU beats Bama and wins the West). If Georgia wins out, they win the East but will miss either Alabama or LSU. Too bad the SEC's dick is firmly down ESPN's throat or else they might look behind the curtain and realize that maybe so many SEC teams are ranked because so many of them don't play each other due to an 8-conference game schedule despite having 14 teams. Pretty easy for a conference to look good when you only play 2/7 teams from the other half as opposed to a round robin.
-
Assuming the human polls basically stay how they are between us and the ducks, their computer ratings have to get up to .94 to jump us...I don't see the computers all of a sudden making Oregon 2 & 3's when they are at 4/4/5/5/8/5 currently.
-
Brian Kelly seems like a POS human. Like if a car filled with a bunch of kids wrecked in front of him and was clearly going to burst into flames in a few minutes he would just drive right on by because it's not his problem and after all he's the coach of ND and has a schedule to maintain.

does anyone have a pic of fatty flashing the number one after a big win or something? We don't have a number one on the roster and I can't think of anything more fitting to be on the banner after the mad hatter takes out Alabama this weekend.
-
Well here's what scares the crap out of me...Oregon actually jumped 2 places in 2 computer polls this week by beating a ONE win Colorado team.
Didn't they just pass teams that lost?
Yes...mainly florida and oregon state. I've gone back a looked and I still think we are in pretty good shape. We can move up in a few computer polls given our schedule and oregon looks like they could pass us in only ONE or maybe two polls. Either way, it will be difficult for them to overtake us....I could see our computer # being .99 or at worst .98 at the end of the year....at .98 that would mean oregon would need to average a ranking of 2.5 in the computer polls to pass us (assuming the harris and coaches poll stay the same). That would mean they would need to pass either us or alabama in at least half of the computer polls (and they are well behind us/alabama in every poll currently). I feel a little better.
-
So basically from everything I've read and heard it's going to come down to style points and how well the teams left on Oregon's and Our schedule perform. If we can win more impressively than Oregon does then we might steal some more second place votes. If our remaining SOS can remain close with Oregon's (like it currently is) then they won't be able to make up enough ground in the computers to account for their loss of second place votes to us. Going to be :ohno: the rest of the season...As if this season wasn't already making me completely unproductive at work and school.

I think we all need to take another minute to go back and thank nc state. Fsu is so effing amazing in the computers...flukiest loss of any team all season imo

both look like scumbag human beings.
-

You are correct. It only comes into play on the "efficiency" portion of the calculations. If you score a bunch very quick (few plays) it will help you.
-
Style points don't matter unless people flip their votes in human polls. MOV is no longer a part in any computer poll iirc.
yeah and voters won't switch unless a team loses, even if oregon beat USC by 1 and we beat OSU by 55 they probably wouldn't switch us. we should still curb stomp everyone just for good measure though.

Ubben can't read schedules, still thinks ND is going to jump us. :lol:

I definitely think style points matter. If we had barely beaten WVU and TTU we would not be receiving any second place votes right now and ND might have jumped us. Coaches look at the box scores and make judgments based on them.

Well here's what scares the crap out of me...Oregon actually jumped 2 places in 2 computer polls this week by beating a ONE win Colorado team.
Didn't they just pass teams that lost?
Yes...mainly florida and oregon state. I've gone back a looked and I still think we are in pretty good shape. We can move up in a few computer polls given our schedule and oregon looks like they could pass us in only ONE or maybe two polls. Either way, it will be difficult for them to overtake us....I could see our computer # being .99 or at worst .98 at the end of the year....at .98 that would mean oregon would need to average a ranking of 2.5 in the computer polls to pass us (assuming the harris and coaches poll stay the same). That would mean they would need to pass either us or alabama in at least half of the computer polls (and they are well behind us/alabama in every poll currently). I feel a little better.
Florida is still ahead of them in a lot of computer rankings. What worries me is UGA, UF, and LSU losing and Oregon passing them - they have quite a room to go up there, while it's virtually impossible for us to get much higher in the computers.

If Oregon doesn't slip up, it greatly helps us for ND to run the table too. For KSU...4 undefeateds > 3 undefeateds if those 3 are Bama, KSU, and Oregon.

I worry some about Alabama's Computer numbers rising and softening our computer numbers as well as ND's
-
alabama being unanimous as the top team, despite the existence of 4 other high-major, undefeated teams is a pretty amazing example of group-think.
Exactly. Their best wins are over crap, fringe top-25 teams (Michigan and MSU). It's incredible.

Bama still has (1-9) Western Carolina and (1-8) Auburn at home. :gocho:

This doesn't happen. Remember that they count votes in the human polls for the BCS formula - not position.
So basically Oregon is ranked about 2.25 and KSU is ranked about 2.75 in both human polls right now. 1/2 position lead in both polls is equal to a 1 position in the computers. We have a 4 position lead on Oregon in the computers right now which is why the lead is so large. There is no way Oregon passes us in any of the computers if we win out and it is very doubtful that anybody would drop us in the human polls.
This is locked up if we take care of business.

Don't be surprised if Florida stays ahead of Oregon in a few of the computer polls (they are currently ahead of them in 4 of the 6 polls). FL has a solid next 4 games (Mizz, ULL, Jacksonville State, FSU), maybe better than Oregons. That could be a dagger in Oregons chances.

Yep, they just need to reduce the gap. The fact that our lead over Oregon is so large means that when teams ranked between us in the computers lose, they can easily make up a lot of ground. LSU losing to Bama and UF losing to fsu could reduce the gap for them sufficiently.

I just did the math. If Oregon were one spot behind us in every single computer they would be at .9403 which is just barely ahead of our .9400.
But, more importantly, Alabama is one of the teams between KSU and Oregon in four of the six computers.
It is not happening.

So holding the Harris and Coaches equal as of today Oregon needs to gain .08 on us in the computers in order to be ranked second. :ohno:
-
Not really sure what this means, other than ND is mumped, but I'll just post it anyway.
Five of the Six computer polls have released their full rankings. The average ranking of the remaining opponents for each team are:
Oregon - 29.25 (USC - 20.2, Cal - 74.0, Stanford - 12.8, Oregon St. - 10.0)
KSU - 36.85 (OSU - 27.5, TCU - 43.2, Baylor - 55.8, UT - 20.6)
ND - 71.1 (Pitt - 82.8, Wake - 74.4, BC - 107.0, USC - 20.2)

I'm so glad you all are worrying about this for me. seems like a lot of work.

It means that if Oregon and ND win out, they hurt each other because they devalue their two of their best wins in Stanford and USC.
The more Oregon beats down USC, the more ND is screwed. If Oregon beats down Stanford, ND is screwed.
If USC beats either or both of them, they're screwed.
Their schedules are intertwined. Them winning out hurts each other.

I don't think games between conference opponents really affect SOS at all. The loser will drop in the rankings, and the winner will go up.

If Oregon is going to lose a game, I think it will be to Stanford, fwiw. Stanford sucks, but USC is pillowy-soft.

what if ou loses all their remaining games! wouldn't hurt us because of conference loses, but ND would be screwed!!!
:ksu:
i love what if games.
*oh, and it would be glorious because eff OU*
-
If Oregon is going to lose a game, I think it will be to Stanford, fwiw. Stanford sucks, but USC is pillowy-soft.
True but USC is one of the few teams in the country that has the talent to match up with Oregon. I don't see anyone not called KState or Bama beating them, FWIW.
-

Stanford matches up horribly with Oregon, they do not have the defensive speed to hang with them and the game is in Eugene. The Ducks will mercilessly slaughter them.
USC has a chance because they have the size and speed and talent to stop Oregon's offense but they have to play a smart, disciplined game. Missed tackles or assignments kill you against the Ducks. USC must control the clock when they're on offense so their lack of depth on defense doesn't hurt them late in the game. Also helps that USC gets the Ducks at home, Oregon is a different team away from Autzen. Plus, Oregon hasn't had to play a complete game yet this year. Who knows how they will respond to having to play their starters all four quarters.

Oregon is the clear favorite in both matchups, I would be surprised if they lost either game. I give USC a 30% chance of winning and Stanford a 5% chance.
USC has a very good defensive line - that unit was supposed to be a weakness coming into the season but it's been great at pressuring the QB and controlling the line of scrimmage. Kiffin pulled a Snyder and found a Juco DITR with DE Morgan Breslin, the guy is a monster. All of their linebackers are like the poor man's Arthur. USC definitely has the talent and ability on defense to slow down Oregon, but they cannot continue committing stupid penalties. Their defensive stat line in their last game (588 yards and 39 points in Arizona loss) is very misleading. I watched that game on ESPN3 last night (USC is my second team, I'm from Southern California). Turnovers kept putting their defense in a bad spot, and like I said, they have to be able to control the clock when they have the ball so their defense doesn't get worn down and they stay fresh. Oregon's freshman QB Mariota has looked great this year, but he has yet to face any adversity. Gonna be interesting to see what happens if USC's defensive line can rattle him early.
If USC makes stupid mistakes early or plays sloppy like they have so often, it could very easily be a big Oregon win. However, I've watched all of USC's games this year and it really feels like Kiffin has been handcuffing his offense in preparation for the month of November, when they have their toughest stretch of games. I expect to see big numbers from the Trojan offense, should be fun to see if their defense can step up to the challenge.
-
The Trojans recruit specifically to beat Oregon. That's the talking point I'm pinning my hopes on.
-
Games like this is what Kiffin lives for. He doesn't care about Arizona. He wants to win games like these :crossfingers:
-
The Trojans recruit specifically to beat Oregon. That's the talking point I'm pinning my hopes on.
Whenever one team starts to dominate a conference, the rest of the conference recruits specifically to beat them. Happened with USC when Carroll was around, Nebraska when they had Osborne and it's starting to happen in the SEC with Alabama/Saban.
-
Yep. USC recruits lots of safeties and turns them into linebackers. As a result, they match up with Oregon and get pushed around by Stanford. But maybe that means they also get pushed around by ND?
Dammit I may need a new talking point.

If they wanted ND in the championship game and were going to put them ahead of us through the polls, they would have done it after this past weekend. They didn't. They won't the next 3 weeks because ND plays crap teams. The only chance they get is when ND plays USC thanksgiving weekend, and it will take a large portion of voters in each poll to do it because NDs computer rankings are going to fall the next 3 weeks.

I think the problem is that they'll look at us like we have to earn our way in, while ND will have to earn their way out. I mean, everyone knows ND beat Stanford on a bullshit call, yet somehow it's our resume getting questioned because we didn't beat OU badly enough.
If we play like the last two weeks, we're good. But if we squeak one out ala Iowa St., and ND puts a thumping on one of their cupcakes, I expect tons of talk about moving them ahead.
First post, BTW. Gotta post a dancing Snyder just to say I did. :billdance:

JFC people. There is no possible way ND can pass us other than us losing a game. They are a complete non-factor other than we want them to beat USC so the Oregon USC win(s) are devalued. They are currently tied with us in computer rankings. After the next four games (if we both win out) we will have a sizeable lead on them in the computers.

This guy "gets it"
http://bcsguru.blogspot.com/2012/10/odds-are-itll-be-bama-vs-k-state.html
Kansas State: The Wildcats are tied with Notre Dame atop the computer rankings and have made up considerable ground on Oregon in both polls. K-State will benefit from playing potentially two more ranked teams this season (Oklahoma State and Texas) and the absence of a Big 12 title game probably won't hurt too much. Ideally, the Wildcats will want the Irish to also finish undefeated, thus providing a buffer in the computer ratings to hold off Oregon. (75%)
the above is also why we want OU to win out, we need ND to stay ahead of Oregon in the computers.

ND, Alabama, and Florida (with a little LSU mixed in) are our firewall in the computers. Oregon has to burn threw them to get to us.

Another wildcard is going to be Louisville. If they stay undefeated through out they could move ahead of Oregon in a few of the computer polls.

If you look at some of the teams that are in front of them in some of the rankings they have a good shot. Not say all of them but every one that does helps us in our computer margin against Oregon.

The last thing Notre Dame would have to worry about was a seemingly good but not great Big 12 team led by a 70-something coach and a quarterback nicknamed after a Transformer. How could Kansas State -- owner of five winning seasons between 1935 and 1990 -- possibly win a beauty contest against Notre Dame?

I'll admit I have no idea what the computer algorithms are, but I'm looking at some of the actual computer rankings and I have a hard time seeing Oregon move up in all of them to pass KSU, ND, and Bama. Everyone knows they are behind us, but in some there have some decent sized gaps to make up in the individual computers rankings.
- Sagarin: 1. KSU 99.78, 2. ND 97.30.....8. Oregon 90.78 (this is already Oregon's toss-out low)
- Colley: 1. ND 1.01, 2. Bama .96, 3. KSU .95...5. Oregon .89
- Wolfe: 1. KSU 9.96, 2. ND 9.85, 3. Bama 9.34...5. Oregon 8.83
- Anderson: 1. KSU .843, 2. ND .838...3. Bama .814 4. Oregon .802
- Billingsly: 1. Bama 320.4, 2. ND 320.2, 3. KSU 318.7.... 4. Oregon 306.9
I'm sure they'll catch up in 2-3, but that is alot of ground to make up if they want to pass enough people in all 5 to catch up in the computers.

They don't need to catch us in any of the computer rankings, they need to:
1) Pass Florida if they lose (they trail florida in 5 computers)
2) Pass LSU in one computer when they lose (if LSU doesn't lose this obv. takes care of itself).
3) Pick up some first place votes if Bama falters or having voters put them at #2 instead of KSU.
It can happen.

Assuming the human polls stay the same (a wildcard at best) Oregon needs to be (on average) ONE spot lower than us in the computer polls. This is AFTER they kick out the top and bottom ranking. If they average one spot lower, they jump us.
-
Human Polls won't stay the same. This weekend is really huge for us. If the Ducks look anything but dominant and we play well against OSU, I can see us further closing the gap to number 2. I am worried about the national perception that their remaining schedule is really that much better. It's good, but not great.

The remaining schedule won't be take into account as a whole by the coaches. It will be a game by game analysis. So this week if they crush USC and we crush OSU they will probably take back some of our second place votes because USC has the perception of being a strong team even though their record is about the same as OSU's. The rest of the games will be about even depending on how high Stanford and Oregon State climb. So we just need USC to not get blown out basically.
-
The talking heads that get the most air time have gone to comparative scoring either with us and ND on Oklahoma. Then it was Arizona being blanked by oregon and beating USC. We need to absolutely destroy teams on the scoreboard so we pass the "eye test" that so many love to talk about. Oregon also has played...2 road games so far this season.

I'd worry more about Bama having a stinker at some point while Oregon continues to dominate. They won't pass Oregon, but they can maybe swap some voters, most likely on the Harris poll.

Pffft. Bama plays @LSU before playing Auburn, Western Carolina and A&M at home. They don't need to win big @LSU to keep everyone on the "Alabama is easily #1" bandwagon. And they are going to blow everyone else out. Massey ratings has their chances to win at 96%, 100% and 100% for their last 3 games.

Man, could anyone argue against the Big 12 being the clear cut winner of conference expansion if somehow, someway that aTm could pull off the upset.
-We would have given the Pac Colorado to kill their SOS.
-We would have given the SEC aTm to get their one big win a year they are typically good for.
-We would have dropped our championship game in favor of the CTR on championship weekend.
-Oregon would be playing in a PAC title game against some pud team looking for their fifth loss of the year, which will further kill their SOS.
-Nebraska would be playing in a BIG title game that nobody would give a crap about.

9 conference games & a true round robin is more conducive to producing a top 2 team than having a conference season where you could conceivably miss playing a very good team and/or have to navigate a rematch.

Very true, but a close Auburn game (WHICH COULD HAPPEN: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=322660002) could sway some voters that want to ensure Oregon gets in, as Lynch or someone alluded to.
-
I got super butthurt last year when I found out that Pinkel and Shaw had voted OSU 4 or 5 or whatever it was. I can't imagine what I'll be like if I find out that somebody voted Oregon 1, and us behind some 1 loss SEC team or something.

Yeah, I forgot about Pac 12 coaches possibly pulling some crap like that. IMO it should all be up to computers that factor in margin of victory.

I tend to agree with this, especially if the conference is / is seen as strong compared to other conferences. If the undefeated Bama, ND, Oregon and KSU scenario plays out and K-State ends up being in the top 2, I imagine the Big 12 would forget about expansion for some time (at least until it "screws" another Big 12 team).

I think it takes a better team to win in the round robin Big 12, but I also think it hurts the conferences strength of schedule. Especially when there is so much parity in the conference.

I just did a list of our "Firewall" teams in the computers:
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
LSU
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Only two play each other in the regular season
And either Georgia or Florida (Georgia if they win out) Play each other in the Championship game.
These teams need to win out. LSU beating Alabama will be the best scenario as it should keep Alabama a Firewall team and also get one undefeated team out of the way and setup a KSU VS Note Dame MNC.

Notre Dame losing hurts us a lot, unless Alabama or Oregon lose.
If Oregon loses I don't think enough human votes goes to ND to overtake us.

I am sooo torn on this. On one hand playing ND for a national title, it probably doesnt get any better then that on the field. But then I picture what may be with BBSing with Bama. You get a school and a conference coming after you. Probably get half our pigaggie friends, the paul finebaum show, all of the Bammers, mississippi folks beating down the walls just to tell us how great the Bama and by proxy the SECSEC is. Might have to upgrade the servers to handle an entire month of that.

I got super butthurt last year when I found out that Pinkel and Shaw had voted OSU 4 or 5 or whatever it was. I can't imagine what I'll be like if I find out that somebody voted Oregon 1, and us behind some 1 loss SEC team or something.
I lay awake at night worrying that Bama, UO, ND and the Cats are all undefeated and the final coaches poll has all the garbage coaches in the PAC putting KSU 4th and UO 2nd or 1st. Replace in the above statement UO with ND and garbage PAC coaches with pud ACC coaches and I am ready to start looking for a bridge. :ohno:
-
Yeah, I don't know if it would get much better than getting goEMAW on feinbaum, "PAWL, DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY WAS SAYING ABOUT US? ROLL DAMN TIDE PAWL!"

maybe i'm in the minority, but i think that trolling PopeAggies would be way more fun.

As far as bbs'n goes, we cannot lose with Bama or ND.

They have over ONE BILLION fans. We are going to need some serious electroroids for the server.

Would be amazing to get some out-of-country fans drug into this.
I mean, a news station here and there is great, but this could be our chance to go multinational.

the biggest prize would be a statement from the Vatican. aim high, friends.

Does this blog even support Italian? Do we have a translator, or will we need to partner up with Google?
Obvs the Pope could bbs in English, but I don't know about others in Vatican City.

If we play Notre Dame and decide to call them popeaggie, I'm just going to call them poopaggie. It's going to be hilarious.
-
hey, remember when everyone used to say we played like "the sisters of the poor" in the OOC, well... isn't the sisters of the poor like a catholic thing?
we could say like, notre dame is so soft it's like we are just playing the sisters of the poor again like back in the 90's!!!!!!!!!!

Color me convinced.
I have a popeaggie friend that probably tucks his shirt into his underpants before bed. I think he would hyper ventilate when we bring light to the similarities of our two programs both historically and culturally.

I don't think you guys realize how crazy Bama fans are.

ND is not an *aggie
not every team is a *aggie
if you are going to shamelessly steal from shaggybevo at least do it right.
-
Coming from a Catholic, the whole priest abuse angle is kind of a lame insult anymore. It's too played out. Confusing them with BYU could be good. Asking when all of their players take their missions, etc. Also, logical fallacies in the bible would be good bait. I've toured the Basillica on their campus, and they take great pride in having relics. A splinter from the true cross, bones and fingernails of old saints, etc. And for whatever reason, ND fans are very proud of certain alumni like Regis Philbin and Dickie V. A lot could be done with that.
-
i just have a feeling ND fans are collectively more intelligent than anything alabama has to offer.
alabama would be the motherload of all shitstorms. would not be surprised if one of them drove here and shot up the campus or something.
-
I don't think you guys realize how crazy Bama fans are.
Nobody is questioning the Bama fan crazyness. I would question, the originality of the typical inbred Bama fan vs. the uptightness of a typical non-inbred Domer. I am now convinced that the uptightness of the ND fans provide an oppurtunity that would be fun to explore.
-

alabama would be the motherload of all shitstorms. would not be surprised if one of them drove here and shot up the campus or something.
I honestly believe 90-95% of ND fans did not go to ND. They are THE T-shirt U.
-
We would have to record the Paul Finebaum show for four-five straight weeks to put in the Lodge listening studio.
I listen on a regular basis but its not the best radio unless they are melting down about something. He lets way too many idiot callers through and it drags down the show. Even Paul is pretty dry as a host. I'm not sure why its such a hit.
If Alabama loses this weekend, can you imagine the national talking heads freaking out about an SEC team not getting in?

Stop making me daydream about Alabama losing. Just going to hurt more.

Who is to say that if Bama does lose, we couldnt have the best of both worlds?
Just cause Bama is not in the game doesnt mean we couldn't bait them about not being in the game.

Part of the new shtick should be for EMAWs who are road-tripping to Miami to do some real-life PI/troll in Alabama (sp?) while passing through.

Bama.
IDK. To me Bama is that drunk bastard at the bar that kicked alot of asses and wants to kick some more, while ND is that high society prick that thinks he could kick everyone's ass cause of all the money his parents and grandparents made.
Now ask yourself whichof those two would be the most upset about taking an ass kicking. Bama will get up brush themselves off and move on to the next joker who walks into the bar, ND on the other hand, this could be a life altering event for their fanbase.
-
order, gaggie
-
Bama would be the best for long term bbs'n. Beat ND, and half the nation thinks they could still beat you. Beat Bama and everyone is amazed that someone did it.
Beat ND, and half the nation will be angry with you then will quickly move on to rowing or some crap because they are used to their school not being a good fb school.
Beat Bama and be labeled Giant Killer and be forever talked about anytime someone talks teams that are juggernauts and seem unbeatable.
-
If we troll Alabama it'll just be the same plan as the past but up the ante. No more sophistication needed, maybe even less than usual. Just blantant, point blank, in your face trolling. It will be basically daring them not to respond, and southerners love dares.
If it's Notre Dame, we really have to take our game to the next level. We'll have to go back and wipe out this thread, for example, and the last few pages of other threads where we trolled like the Deadliest Catch last season. If we're not ready to do that, then I think we should just accept that up front instead of going through it half-assed. You're either in, or you're out.

Notre Dame will try to act like it never happened.

This.
The month of December is going to be beautiful. It will likely bring the goEMAW servers to their knees as we take on two fan bases that didn't get in AND one fan base that we'll be playing AND an entire conference (minus pigaggie who should know what's going on) but it will still be one of the most fun times of our lifetimes. :love:
The O/U is set at 4 1/2 for the number of days it will take the university administration to create an internet commercial apologizing for our behavior.

Shut up MoCat. ND fans are just as dumb as every other fanbase. I would enjoy any of the remaining undefeateds.
I think it would be a let down because I don't think nd fans' lives depend on nd football the way that fans from a poor hillbilly state with absolutely nothing else going on depend on football. See: Arkansas, West Virginia. Alabama is like the motherload in this regard.

so...we will probably be number two in the BCS again this week, Oregon will jump Notre Dame to 3 and our gap between us and Bama will widen, and our gap between us and #2 (Oregon) will get smaller. Let the butthurt and paranoia begin.

ND 3, Florida 4. If you look at the rankings, there is a clump from 1 to 4, then a gap, then a clump from 5 to 7. This is already Oregon's low throw out, but looks like its going to continue to be unless Florida or ND loses.

Oregon isn't going to lose and they have two Top 15 teams left on their schedule in Stanford and OSU.
Been an amazing season, but there is virtually no way we finish ahead of them.

so...we will probably be number two in the BCS again this week, Oregon will jump Notre Dame to 3 and our gap between us and Bama will widen, and our gap between us and #2 (Oregon) will get smaller. Let the butthurt and paranoia begin.
Alabama isn't going to lose.
Oregon isn't going to lose and they have two Top 15 teams left on their schedule in Stanford and OSU.
Been an amazing season, but there is virtually no way we finish ahead of them.
We just have to root for a choke job by one of those teams and hope we avoid one, obviously. Though Bama probably had their closet thing last night, then LSU out choked them. Oregon, we have to hope their Freshman QB chokes in one of the remaining games.

OSU will beat the ducks :emawkid:

Those 2 teams play each other this week, meaning one of them knocks the other out, and when Oregon beats them, will drop the team to the fringe of top 25.
Also still hope Bevo can win against Farmaggie and Horned toads before their dismantling December 1st. Also since UCLA won, the Pac-12 Championship game no longer acts as a great a game for SOS as Oregon had hoped.

Sagarins ratings should give everyone pause...Bama jumping from seventh to first is hard to understand nine games into the season. Interestingly Missouri is ranked 29th in Sagarin despite being 1-5 in the SEC with their only win over a (basically) winless Kentucky team. The computers are hard to figure out...it also appears that ND gained ground on KSU in Sagarin even though they beat a team ranked 87th (Pitt).
I doubt we gain any ground in the human polls but the first real team that Oregon plays puts up 51 points on them???
-
Just for fun: Average Sagarin ranking of KState's next three opponents is 27.67, Oregon's is 27.33.
-
Alabama jumping so many spots is not surprising. They were 7th with a terrible schedule, so beating #5 on the road is bound to be a huge boost. ND gaining ground is a bit surprising but I don't believe it was anything more than a minuscule amount.

I am afraid forthwith I will be the most butthurt and paranoid poster on this board, for that I apologize.

OSU plays Stanford, putting that Oregon number in jeopardy. Baylor plays @ OU, so they will fall a little. If Baylor wins @OU and OSU loses? Boom.

4 points is in the weeds, no biggie. THE marquee game they had left, and they gained 4 points. OSU and Stanford are PUD teams. :billdance:

will hurt us this week that 6 of the 8 teams we have beat lost this weekend. obviously we will gain some of this back the next 3 games (all 3 teams we WILL play beat teams we HAVE played).
but seriously...how in the eff can you give up 51 points and get MORE votes...just how in the eff?

I think it's a good sign, if the fix was in, and everyone wanted to see Oregon in the champ game, they would have taken all of the available 2nd place votes, but they got ~66% of them, which is a lot, but symbolic of the fact there is not overwhelming belief the Ducks have to be in the game.

It's hard for me not to obsess about why USC is still even ranked when teams like Tech, WV and OSu (all with much better resumes) are not. USC has beaten NO ONE...best win was a 10 point win over a 5-4 Washington team, and they got beat by a 5-4 Zona team that just lost 66-10 to UCLA. What part of that resume deserves a top 25 ranking? And they hang 51 on Oregon....supposedly the #2 team in the nation. :shakesfist:

http://www.harrisinteractive.com/vault/BCS_Nov_04_2012.pdf
Huge! I don't think the computers will give Oregon as big of a boost as people are thinking and with us staying close with Oregon in the Human polls I just don't see Oregon jumping us. Maybe if USC beats ND but I have to wonder how much that will help. ND's value as a firewall team may go away a little the next few weeks. Also Louisville will start showing up high in the computers as well of Georgia.
-
losing two points in the harris poll is like charlie weis losing two ounces
yes, I was expecting more. pretty good polls/computers so far all things considered.
-
we lost two POINTS or two VOTES?
-
Oregon gained 10pts in Harris while we gained 8 so now trail by 71
-

I don't think the human polls can do enough "fixing" with out it looking obvious to affect Oregon jumping to #2.

ND lost 20pts

man if we could've won by like 20-30 points yesterday (if klein doesn't go out, basically), we probably would've gained in the human polls

Agreed...the humans were not impressed from their "big win"....and they would have to get 2, 3, 3, 3 in computers to jump us...Pac12 garbage won't allow those computers to do that. (assuming human votes stay the same and our computers stay the same)

If #life plays next week, and we are sloppy, how much does that hurt our computers? Do they stop loving us? :ohno:
-
UT plays ISU at home, has a bye week, plays TCU at home, then the CTR. What if they take advantage of that bye week bye starting to put in schemes for K-State? Then, with their Super Bowl a week away, they lose to TCU and drop a ton in the BCS? I will never forgive them. I will single handedly get Mack Brown fired.

I really don't think it would matter at this point. It will be hard for us to move much without someone losing.

Palm's projected BCS standings
KSU 0.9451
Oregon 0.9233
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/rankings/bcs
-
I think we're going to know Nov 25th if we control our destiny. That will be the week ND plays USC, Oregon plays OSU and we are idle. It will basically be the only week when Oregon can jump us because they won't do it when we play Texas on the first and they play the CCG. If OSU loses the next two and Oregon has a close game against them and Stanford then I don't think they jump us. If OSU wins the next two and Oregon blows them out then they will probably jump us with us being idle. So basically we know in 20 days if we go to the MNC.

This is last week's actuals vs. this week's Palm's projections. However, in Palm's projections are this week's actuals for the 2 human polls and the Sagarin. It may also contain the actual for another computer, Palm claims it's an actual but it hasn't been published and they aren't supposed to publish it until Tuesday. The projections in Palm's "projection" are 4 or 5 computers.
It should also be noted, that in the computer that I'm not sure is an actual or projection, Oregon didn't move up.

According to this, computers can only use who won in their formulas. Not sure how accurate this is.

USC and UCLA play this week to see who gets to go to the PAC 12 Champoinship. Not sure if it matters. I guess I'd rather have USC go with the hopes that they have a better idea of what would beat them and are able to use it.

We've been over this. 2 weeks ago he thought:
1. USC would beat Oregon
2. OU would beat ND
3. Boise wouldn't lose again.
If those 3 things happened, OU, ND, Boise, & an SEC team would be the 4 at-large BCS teams and Oregon would have gone to the Alamo. Don't get me wrong, Palm has said a ton of stupid stuff. However thinking 2 weeks ago that those 3 things would happen and Oregon would go to the Alamo wasn't one of them.

This week, USC plays ASU and UCLA plays Washington State. They play each other on the 17th. USC controls its destiny in their division, if they beat ASU and UCLA they win the South. I'd like a rematch between them and Oregon because it would be more difficult for Oregon to beat USC again than it would be to beat UCLA once. Rematches are inherently tougher for whoever won the first game.

I mean, we don't control our own destiny. Only Alabama does. But we're pretty damn close to controlling it and are certainly in a much, much stronger position than Oregon. Things would have to get really crazy for us to go undefeated and get left out. We've got enough cushion to withstand any BCS/TV shenanigans. To leave us out, they would basically have to come out and say, "Okay, KState is #2, but we want Oregon in the title game." That crap won't fly with anyone.

Is the media just toying with Oregon fans just for rating? Kind of like the Heisman race. Every one knows Klein is going to win, baring a shitty performance but they keep bringing up names to keep college football fans interested.

We haven't seen that influence amount to anything yet. If we keep winning, especially by multiple scores, it's going to be hard for voters to pull the kind of Pinkelesque shenanigans that they would have to in order to make a meaningful difference. It's all going to come down to the computers which are going to spit out whatever they're going to spit out.

Because while correct, the website Michigan linked was incomplete. He's talking specifically about MOV, which doesn't factor into the rankings so it is just win or lose in that sense. But SOS is also a part of the computers (and human polls too, hello Louisville).
There's a reason MOV isn't in the BCS and a prime example of it is ND vs. OU compared to KSU vs. OU. Plus unsportsmanlike stuff, too.

We beat a #15 WVU or whatever they were. At the end of the year when looking at rankings will it be shown that we beat a ranked team on week 7 in our SOS calculation or will it be an unranked team?

-
You know who is to blame for all of this? The LSU kicker. If he makes that, and they actually get to kick it off to Alabama, it's just us an Oregon right now, praying the other one loses so that we get to play the crappiest undefeated team that has ever existed: Notre Dame.
-
okay people explain the computers thing to me. how does that happen?
also can we now root for every team to lose? Last weeked we needed ND as a firewall and that hasn't helped us apparently.
you don't understand how this works. See all those 4s and 5s beside Oregon? If ND loses, those become 3s and 4s. And the gap narrows between KSU and Oregon

its like RPI for many of the computers. playing the big 10 teams is helping ND a bit because they in turn feast on MAC teams. its all about opponents opponents schedule. I personally think its a stupid way to determine SOS ( and rewards a team for losing to "good teams" more so than beating average or below average teams).

Les Miles is to blame. Who fakes a FG with the lead, at the 29 yd line on 4th and rough ridin' 12?!?
-
We have a lot of room to improve our computer rankings now though so that's good. Just got to hope for ND to stay undefeated. I'm afraid though that after Bama's huge jump in the computer rankings after facing an overrated LSU team that Oregon might do the same thing after facing an overrated Oregon State and Stanford.

les miles fault. qb sneak on 4th and a long 1.. would have iced the game had they got the 1st. and he called an effing sneak needing more than a full yard. complete idiot.

For everyone wondering why ND jumped us:
The computers only take into account who you have played and weight each game equally. Of the 8 teams ND played prior to yesterday, they went 5-2 this weekend. Of the 8 teams KSU played prior to yesterday, they went 2-6 this weekend. That's why the computer tie with ND was broken and they moved ahead of us.
The good news for KSU, we still get to play 3 of those teams that caused 3 loses to our prior opponents. The 3 teams remaining on our schedule just got stronger. In order for that to happen, our previous schedule had to weaken...it's OK. Over the course of the rest of the season our SOS will make it back up to where it was prior to this weekend.

I'm very surprised ND's opp record had that good of a weekend.
Florida State is just getting killed in the computers, 6 in person polls, 19 in the computers. Talk about a conference KILLING your ranking.

i also liked that they pointed out that some voters had ND lower than 4th.
very lulzy to the idiots that still think "the media" is somehow going to put ND in the title game.

Alabama will fall in the computers after playing that fcs school and Auburn. Notre Damn has room to fall against Wake and BC. Baylor and TCU while not good are no BC Wake Auburn, or FCS school.

yeah some tard on shaggybevo uses something very similar for his/her terrible "poll" (:lol: that s/he calls it a poll) and had ND higher based on that fact that ND opponent's opponents have won more games (they don't even take into account byes so that's how bad it is).
-
I'm a lot more confident now than I was earlier. Pollack and Herbie being impressed and saying we are a complete team makes me think the coaches also think this. Brad also made it seem like Oregon doesn't have the upper hand now, which is great.

Yeah, its crazy. It sounds like the computers are a basically a variety of different ways to calculate something similar to the RPI and with football's limited schedule, there are going to be weird fluctuations on a weekly basis, even 3/4 of the way into the season.

It sounded to me that Brad Edwards thinks Oregon is fracked
That's how I heard it too.

FYI - The only changes in Oregon's computer rankings was they moved up from 8 to 7 in the Sagarin and 5 to 4 in the Anderson & Hester. That's it. In 4 computers they didn't pass anyone.

Alabama will fall in the computers after playing that fcs school and Auburn. Notre Damn has room to fall against Wake and BC. Baylor and TCU while not good are no BC Wake Auburn, or FCS school.
FCS schools are not factored, its like a bye

This is very :jeffy: but is it possible Miles threw the game? He probably thought Bama would kill his pud team. Then lo and behold his players wanted to win and he's staring a 4th qtr lead in the face. We already know Miles, Saban and their cronies conspired to vote down Oklahoma State last season. Miles knew that beating Bama could shut the SEC out of the MNC. So why not do some of the worst play calling in the history of college football to give Bama a shot?

I don't think Alabama should be so universally recognized as #1.

is it factored like a bye or some sort of weird less weight void? Is it like doing an average where you divide by 12 where everyone gets a bye or divide by 11 since that 12th spot is an fcs team? Not sure if that makes sense.

I guess that's one way to look at it, another way is that you have less games therefore I would assume less weight. 13 games carries more weight than 11. At least they should :dunno: all I know is that I've heard more than once on this show that FCS games don't count in the computer numbers

The thing is, by doing so they give two more losses to teams we have beaten. Should only factor into human polls.

So basically a round robin conference schedule is devastating for a team in the BCS hunt. Our SOS was pretty much set after Non-Con play finished. The wins and losses will all be a wash, eventually coming out to 50-50 in conference play, no?
Mean while Alabama's opponents get to beat up on shitty teams.

Well if Brad is correct and Oregon is going to have a ridiculous time trying to catch us in the computers, then all we need is a few tard voters fall in love with Texas for 3 more weeks to hold them off
-

Ya, it's a zero sum game for the Big 12 once conference play starts, for computer purposes on win/loss of opponents.
That's why it's the efficiency stuff that's important to us going forward, right?

I don't know if this is true. Someone posted a link earlier that the computers are only allowed to look at wins/losses and home/away. According to the link, they can't look at anything else in the box score and they are all just 6 different ways of using those 4 inputs (w/l/h/a).

What do you mean efficiency?
To me, the most important aspects going forward are Oregon's opponents losing, and impressing the human polls on Dec. 1st. If we can manage to convince 1/3rd of the Harris/Coaches that we are the 2nd best team in the nation, it would go a long way.

Insider math dude Edwards
Kansas State: The Wildcats need to win out, obviously, and a loss by either Alabama or Oregon would very likely land them in the title game. But if the Tide and Ducks win out, KSU needs Notre Dame to be undefeated as well, for the reasons I just described in the Oregon section. If the Wildcats hold no worse than second-place rankings in the computers, and the Ducks aren't better than fourth in at least half of them, the race for No. 2 in the BCS standings will be very, very close.
One last thing: The worse Oregon's opponent in the Pac-12 title game, the better it is for Kansas State. The Ducks won't get much of a boost for beating UCLA, as an example.
-
That's a cute/funny ms paint, but do people really think ND is relevant in the title hunt without two teams losing?

It will be extremely annoying when people are trying to cheer for USC to beat ND

Maybe I'll go full tuck and buy a ND hat for "good luck"

not that it's really relevant, but I'm pretty sure that if you asked every college football fan in the country what game they would most like to watch in the mnc if their team couldn't/can't get in, 99% would say 'bama v. oregon. those two completely different styles of football going head to head would be fascinating to watch...especially in light of saban crying about hurry-up offenses.
if anything scares me, it's that. that being said, coaches' votes are the only ones that matter and I don't think they're going to drastically change their votes if both stay undefeated.

They are firewall in the computers, the polls at this point are a non-factor. ND needs to stay in front in the computers, although I do wonder how many points on Oregon we'd gain in the polls.

Thank you, i remembered that as soon as I posted, I was focused on BCS rank instead of computer ranks.

not that it's really relevant, but I'm pretty sure that if you asked every college football fan in the country what game they would most like to watch in the mnc if their team couldn't/can't get in, 99% would say 'bama v. oregon. those two completely different styles of football going head to head would be fascinating to watch...especially in light of saban crying about hurry-up offenses.
if anything scares me, it's that. that being said, coaches' votes are the only ones that matter and I don't think they're going to drastically change their votes if both stay undefeated.
valid.
A&M has run 732 plays this year. Oregon has run 739.
If Saban has a problem with that kind of offense, we're going to see how they handle it next week. My guess is that Bama does just fine, but I am interested to see how they handle an offense as fast paced and dynamic as A&M's.

also the only ooc loss left for usc to devalue them.

does the computer delineate any kind of quasi conference when looking at ND or is it all noncom? Does that matter in any poll? I imagine only in people polls.

This is a very good point. I think Alabama will crush A&M just like they would crush Oregon.

It's common knowledge if ND wins out, it really holds back Oregon in the computers. However, if ND loses it gets tricky. I crunched some numbers . Oregon is so far back in the Sagarin, this is going to be their throw away. Out of the remaining 5 computers, Florida is ahead of them in 3. The problem is, Florida's remaining schedule is crap in the computers with UL-L (comp average of 67.25), FCS Jacksonville St., and Florida State (comp average of 21).
Hold the human polls as is, ND loses, and Oregon jumps Florida in all 3 other computers - Oregon passes us.
Hold the human polls as is, ND loses, and Oregon jumps Florida in 2 or less of the other computers - We stay ahead of Oregon.
Here is the kicker - if ND loses, then Bama would be 1st in 5 of the 6 computers and we would be 1st in the other. If we took back 1st in 1 other computer, and even if Oregon passed Florida to have 3rd in all the computers, we would still be ahead of Oregon
I know this is alot of what-ifs, but I did it just to show how close it would be if you take ND out of the equation. The redistribution of small number of ND's 2nd and 3rd place votes in the human polls could swing it either way.
-
Yeah, Oregon doesn't automatically jump us if ND loses.

They are firewall in the computers, the polls at this point are a non-factor. ND needs to stay in front in the computers, although I do wonder how many points on Oregon we'd gain in the polls.
Good question. Oregon is has almost every 2nd place vote in the coaches, so assuming Bama wins out, they can't gain much there. Apparently ND has a fair number of 3rds. Seems logical to assume if they lose we'd pick up most of those. Probably not enough to offset the computer numbers, though. I suppose what would be the best would be ND continuing to look like crap while winning, although no one seems to be caring much.

If we keep winning, we're going to be fine.

wow. I haven't watched a&m at all this year. I had no idea they were running that kind of hurry-up high-powered offense. I usually only have the time/patience to watch us and parts of other big 12 games. I have to assume the sheer effectiveness of oregon's offense has something to do with them being that close to a&m though. I mean, if it only takes you 4 plays to go the length of the field, that's going to cut down on the number of plays you have to run.

It takes Oregon more plays to move down the field than K-State, though. At least that was true a week or two ago. I've not seen the updated stats.

I'd like computer experts to weigh in on this, but it seems like LSU and South Carolina could jump Oregon in the computer rankings should they win out. Emphasis on could.

I've watched both a few times.
They both want to go fast and get as many plays as possible. Oregon wants to run more (+103 attempts) and A&M wants to pass more (+96). Actually, Oregon is a very run heavy team. They're 4th in the nation in rush attempts and 1st in yards/carry. A&M is top 30 in yards per pass attempt and top 20 in yards per completion.
A&M is incredibly dynamic because of Manzeil, and they've only lost two games this year to Florida and LSU, and that was by a combined 8 points. You also have to take into consideration the fact that they're under a first year coach in a new conference. What they've done is incredibly impressive given all of the change involved.
I don't think one man can beat Alabama, but the way the Tide acted after that win tells me they are on watch for an upset. McCarron acted like he just won the Super Bowl. A&M is too good, too dynamic, and I think they'll write this off as, "Hey, we beat Michigan, and A&M is like them," except that they're way better than Michigan, and Manzeil is better than Denard Robinson at this point.

ND's previous opponents went 5-2 on Saturday. Ours went 2-6, with the 3 teams remaining on our schedule, who haven't been factored into the computers yet, all beating 3 teams we've already played. That will even out by the end of he season.

After our defensive 2nd half last night, I think the Baylor game may concern me most right now. Even with our TOP advantage, our defense seemed to be getting worn down and was giving up big chunks of yardage. Hopefully some of that was, as I suspect, due a bit to being flustered over Klein's injury and the new OSU QB.

I was in Waco for the game in '10. That was probably their biggest game in forever (a win made them bowl eligible).
You could hear a pin drop when we were on offense. A bunch of losery fans sitting in a losery stadium watching a losery football program. We're going to beat them by 30+.

Yeah, that's a good point. I go back and forth on them. I can see them being right in the Tech/OSU/UT group, but then I can see them sliding down to the top of the next tier. They seem more like an ISU type; good defense, young quarterback, ball control. And I'm not sold they are a lot better than ISU. UT would've been down in that group too, but their talent and their performance against Tech kind of got my attention.

i just think playing on the road is kind of tough. like, i don't think tcu is probably as good as tech but i think playing tcu in ft worth is prob about as hard as playing tech in mhk. idk, i might put too much emphasis on home/away.
I think it makes a much bigger difference when you have a crappy to mediocre team. Good teams win games, regardless. Bad teams almost never win away from home.
-
I think Texas will be a tough game, a dog fight if you will.

I refuse to back off my stance from the last five years making fun of TCU. We are playing a Big East team with its back up QB. We will snyderball them to death Klein or no Klein.
-
Oh, wait. They aren't even big east :lol:
-
TCU is 3-3 in the league, hasn't played the two best teams or an upper half Texas squad, and one of the wins against a bottom half team came in OT.
:comehere:
-
Three TDs by halftime. Helmet taken away again early in third.

Seems conservative.

I bet TLBL and Harp will go hide it from him when we go up 30 to play a joke on him :D

chris is going to stand in front of the spot that CK's helmet is and pretend to be watching the game and not move and collin will try to get around him but he'll just stand motionless looking at the game and TLBL will be busting up laughing histarically as CK trys to get to his helmet.

I'd list ISU above TCU. Same size stadium. Flood Aggie superbowl. Top 25 team. ISU dick punched TCU in Fort Worth. Every game I've watched, there've been about 35K in the stands.

I can see ISU dominating the MWC if they had a few more Texas recruits.

With four undefeated teams on top and Oregon moving into the No. 3 spot in this week's BCS standings, the race for the BCS National Championship Game is hitting the home stretch.
The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide showed vulnerability Saturday at LSU, so nobody should be putting the Tide in the national title game just yet. But if Bama stays undefeated, the battle for the No. 2 spot could be compelling over the next four weeks.
Notre Dame is a long shot because of its position in the polls and remaining schedule. Looking at the point totals in the Harris and coaches' polls, simple math says the Irish are sitting at No. 4 on almost every ballot (worse than fourth by a few coaches), and their potential to move up is limited by having the weakest remaining schedule of the four contenders. But the Irish can still have a big impact on the race for No. 2 by affecting the computer rankings of Kansas State and Oregon.
Game results of past opponents and records of future opponents can have an influence on computers and voters. With that in mind, here are 12 games not involving the Wildcats and Ducks that could play a part in deciding which team ultimately gains the edge in the BCS standings:
12. Louisville Cardinals at Syracuse Orange (Nov. 10)
The impact would be minor, but little things can add up in the computers. Because USC beat Syracuse earlier in the season, a win by the Orange over undefeated Louisville would improve USC's schedule strength. And because Oregon and Notre Dame both play USC (the Ducks have already beaten the Trojans), this upset would give them a slight boost as well. Kansas State fans should be rooting for Louisville.
11. Michigan Wolverines at Ohio State Buckeyes (Nov. 24)
With Michigan being one of the better wins this season for Notre Dame and Alabama, those teams would both gain strength in the computers if the Wolverines go on the road and knock off what will be either an 11-0 or 10-1 Ohio State. Alabama will probably finish No. 1 in most of the computers if it wins out, so this isn't as big of a deal for the Tide as it is for the Irish. The truth of the matter is that it's hard to say whether Notre Dame being strengthened in the computers is good or bad for Kansas State. On one hand, it will make it more difficult for Oregon to jump Notre Dame. On the other hand, it might cause the Irish to finish ahead of the Wildcats in some ratings. Either way, it's sure to have an impact.
10. ACC Championship Game (Dec. 1)
If Miami can beat Virginia and Duke, it will win the ACC Coastal Division and could play an 11-1 Florida State in the conference title game. If that scenario plays out, an upset win by Miami over the highly ranked Seminoles would strengthen the computer profile of Kansas State and Notre Dame, since both beat the Hurricanes this season. Having a victory over another major-conference champion could help KSU with some voters in the résumé test against Oregon.
9. Stanford Cardinal at UCLA Bruins (Nov. 24)
On the surface, this looks like a game that Oregon would prefer to be won by Stanford, because the Ducks play the Cardinal (Nov. 17) and don't play the Bruins. But as of now, UCLA is the best possible opponent for Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship Game, and if the Bruins can get past USC, they should be 9-2 going into the Stanford game. Playing a 10-2 UCLA in the conference title game is the best-case scenario for the Ducks in the computers. Getting to play a team they haven't already beaten would probably make it the best-case scenario with the voters as well. Since Stanford is also a Notre Dame opponent, a win by the Bruins over the Cardinal would help Oregon gain on the Irish in the computers.
8. USC Trojans at UCLA Bruins (Nov. 17)
This game is significant for the same reason as the Stanford-UCLA game, because it gives Oregon a chance to play a 10-2 opponent in the Pac-12 title game.
But it's even more important to the BCS race, because a win by USC would set up the possibility that the Trojans could capture the Pac-12 South but lose to Notre Dame the following week, leaving the Ducks with a four-loss opponent in the conference championship game -- an opponent they already scored 62 points against on the road. And a USC win over UCLA would help Notre Dame's schedule strength.
7. Iowa State Cyclones at Texas Longhorns (Nov. 10)
6. TCU Horned Frogs at Texas Longhorns (Nov. 22)
It would have been hard to imagine after Texas' 63-21 loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 13, but if the Longhorns win these two games, they will be 9-2 going into the regular-season finale at Kansas State. The Wildcats are hurt by not having a conference championship game, like Oregon does, to get one extra game against a quality opponent.
But if Texas has only two losses when it plays K-State, the Wildcats would at least have the advantage of playing a higher-ranked opponent than Oregon on the season's final weekend. The Pac-12 title game is on Friday night, so KSU has the opportunity to make the closing argument of the national championship race on Saturday, Dec. 1. That makes these two games crucial for Kansas State to maximize the computer and poll impact of a win over Texas.
5. Oregon State Beavers at Stanford Cardinal (Nov. 10)
Oregon still has to play both of these teams, so the result of this game will have minimal influence on the computer rankings for the Ducks. But there's no question that an Oregon State win would put the Beavers in great position to be 10-1 going into The Civil War on Nov. 24, with only a home game against struggling Cal in between. OSU entering the Oregon game with only one loss would almost certainly make it a top-10 matchup, which is probably Oregon's only chance to get a top-10 win in the regular season. This could be a big deal if enough voters are comparing résumés -- and, therefore, best wins -- among the contending teams. Plus, it would give Oregon the opportunity to beat a top-10 team on a day that Kansas State doesn't play, which could be valuable to the Ducks in the polls. As is the case with the Stanford-UCLA game, the result Oregon needs would also hurt Notre Dame in the computers.
4. Oklahoma Sooners at West Virginia Mountaineers (Nov. 17)
3. Oklahoma State at Oklahoma (Nov. 24)
2. Oklahoma at TCU (Dec. 1)
Apologies to Baylor for assuming the Bears will lose in Norman this weekend, but I'm not making any assumptions on these other three games. All, however, are important to the Sooners winning out and finishing with a 10-2 record and a top-10 ranking. This would ensure both Kansas State and Notre Dame of having a win of higher quality than anything Oregon will have on its résumé. Even if Oregon State finishes 10-2, it won't be ranked as high as Oklahoma. That will be of value to the Wildcats and Irish in some computers, and it will be a consideration of some voters, especially since both teams won in Norman.
1. Notre Dame Fighting Irish at USC (Nov. 24)
As mentioned earlier, if USC has already won the Pac-12 South but loses this game to Notre Dame, it weakens the potential for Oregon's closing argument on Nov. 30. But this game sits at the top of the list because of the impact a USC win would likely have on the BCS race. Assuming Kansas State doesn't get much closer to Oregon in the polls, the Wildcats need to maintain a comfortable margin over the Ducks in the computers to have any chance of holding them off for the No. 2 spot.
That would be accomplished predominantly by having Notre Dame sit as a buffer team between Kansas State and Oregon in several computer ratings. A Notre Dame loss would allow the Ducks to rise another spot in every computer and gain enough ground on KSU in that part of the formula to take over second in the BCS standings. Barring a loss by Alabama or Oregon, Notre Dame falling to USC would more than likely end any chance Kansas State has of reaching this season's national championship game.

Guise. Oregon will lose. Their defense is ass. If Notre Dame doesn't lose, it'll be because of games like last weekend where they barely squeak it out. We are going elephant hunting in Miami.

anyone know if we gained or lost ground on Oregon in the coaches?
1,475 -1,399 this week

we were 19 down last week (i think).

damn, so 76 now :frown:

2 Oregon 9-0 1399 2
3 Kansas State 9-0 1370 3

we were up 81 on ND, what is it now?
-
We are down 32 this week right?
Oregon - 1460 (44 #1, 15 #2)
KSU - 1428 (14 #1, 43 #2, 2 #3)
I might have done the math wrong. . .
The Ducks received 44 of 59 first-place votes and were picked second on all the others after improving to 10-0 with a win at California.
Kansas State moved into the No. 2 spot in the coaches poll and figures to be well positioned for a top-two BCS ranking thanks to its standing in the computer formulas. The Wildcats, also 10-0, received 14 of the remaining 15 No. 1 votes and were voted second on all but two of the remaining 45 ballots.
Notre Dame claimed the last No.1 vote and checks in at No.3, but the Fighting Irish probably would be on the outside of the top two unless more upsets occur over the final weeks. Still, it is the first time Notre Dame got a No. 1 vote since Septemberf 2006, and the Irish are no lower than No. 5 on any ballot.

I want to play the team that will have the least amount of excuses when we beat them.

ND refuses to join BCS conference as full member, gets mumped by BCS, all is right in the world

I'll reserve my judgment of Oregon until after the next two weeks. I want to see what they do against teams that can actually play defense.

OT here but why does Brad Edwards have a two loss A&M team in a BCS bowl over two teams that beat A&M in College Station and are ranked higher? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Because he thinks he has a source inside the Fiesta. He said this when saying the Fiesta would take OU over ND.

Hey guys, Jakesie here, let's talk importance of maintaining #1 through the rest of the regular season. We shouldn't care, but we probably care. It's fun to be #1. Anyways, with that in mind, I noticed that we were #2 in the computers, and Oregon was #4. As long as we stay in front of them, should we be able to maintain the #1 spot (assuming human polls stay the same)?

I think we need to stay at least 2 spots ahead of them.

The Wildcats are the 16th team in college football to ascend to No. 1 overall in the BCS, and by now, it's got to feel so, so good.
We're so damn elite.
This is crazy. 16 teams fellas. And your cats are one of them.

I sat down with my son tonight and watched the show. Even though he's only two, I told him that this was a special moment because this is the first, and maybe, last time he was ever going to see this.

I'm not really old, but one of my earliest memories of K-State football is listening to the infamous 17-17 tie with KU almost 25 years ago to the day (Nov 7th, 1987).
Now no team in college football is higher than the Cats and we're 8 quarters away from playing for the national title.
Its pretty great.

If we get past Baylor Saturday, the entire student section should throw Quarters at the Texas bench at the end of each quarter. Would be epic!

Remember how awesome it was when Andre Coleman did the espn "da da DA da da DA" to the sideline camera?
My dad installed a NASA-sized satellite just so we could watch that game.
Also, I am YouTube hunting for that for the rest of the evening.

ben ji's lil bro made about $2,000 last year betting on the cats to cover. Started during the Miami game and just kept adding to it, IIRC he only lost on the OU game....
This year he had $400 on us to win the big12 at 12-1 and $250 on us to win the natty at 32-1....

Whoever shows up with the $10,000 bet on KSU at 200-1 should be investigated for having a rough ridin' time machine.

KSU is 8-1-1 ATS this year. Unbelievable. Hopefully he is doing it again this year.

Apparently KSU has covered the spread 85% of the time in the past 2 years.

The '90's were great. People who were hardcore gamblers would walk up you if you were wearing purple cats gear and they'd say something like, "I've made a lot of money off you guys." They wouldn't know crap about the team, but they knew Snyder always covered.
-
It would be interesting to see how much money is put on K-State games. Of course, K-State benefits from weak lines every year, which certainly helps.

This kinda stuff never gets old. Not sorry if luked because its an article about how great K-State football is.

Another way to look at pace: Plays per minute of possession:
Name
Baylor 3.2
Oklahoma State 2.9
West Virginia 2.7
Iowa State 2.6
Oklahoma 2.5
Texas Tech 2.5
Kansas 2.3
Texas 2.2
TCU 2.2
Kansas State 2.0
After our defensive 2nd half last night, I think the Baylor game may concern me most right now. Even with our TOP advantage, our defense seemed to be getting worn down and was giving up big chunks of yardage. Hopefully some of that was, as I suspect, due a bit to being flustered over Klein's injury and the new OSU QB.
Welp.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does our ranking only matter at this point in case there is some huge tiebreaker for the Big 12 title and the highest BCS ranking represents the conference in a BCS bowl? And if we beat Texas our ranking won't really matter at all?

No, I can't find any scenario where the BCS would factor into the tie breaker. There are other tie-breakers that would figure out who gets the Fiesta Bowl bid before it got to BCS standings. They all include ties for 7-2 between a combo of KSU, UT, OU, and OSU, including all 4 finishing 7-2. In all of them UT wins the tiebreakers.
Also, if we beat UT our rankings don't matter. We get the bid over OU if we both finish 8-1.
Edit: I did think of 1 scenario where the BCS does play in. Its if OU beats OSU then loses to TCU.

Oh, jfc. We are a top 10 team. We win against texas and we are OSU from last year. Buck the F up. It was a shitty game, but we are still good. If bill /the team handles it right, we will be ok.
Man, what the eff has happened to this place?

I'm not. Once they get past revealing the rankings, half the show will be about how the SEC can now backdoor its way into another title game and the other half will be about how Kansas State and Oregon choked.

One is the loneliest number....

Cats at 6, way behind Oregon
Free Shoes U still at 10, lol
Down to 4 Big 12 teams ranked.
ND doesn't have a perfect score
-
4th in the computers, despite that horrawful loss
David Pollack still loves his Cats, he said we are not out yet and mentioned that LSU was 7th at this point the last time they won the 'ship.

I'm not going to get my hopes up but weird crap can still happen.

I'm not going to get my hopes up but weird crap can still happen.
Here's the path to #2
ND loses to USC
Oregon loses to OSU
Florida loses to FSU
FSU loses in the ACC Championship
we could reach #1 if Alabama and/or Georgia lose to the shitty teams they play this week and then which ever loses this week wins next week in the SEC Championship.
I think the first three are very possible, the FSU, Alabama, and Georgia scenarios, lol

What is the scenario where we win a big 12 championship, giving bill the same amount of conference championships as mack brown?

We'll see, they are crap in the computers, but when they beat Florida they're going to get a gigantic boost in the polls & the computers

this is true. as long as we beat texas and go to the fiesta ill be happy. if we could actually win the bowl game that would be great. but if we lose to texas then i will be down
-
I haven't cared about winning a bowl game since 2000, is that weird?
-
i do wish we were better in bowl games but its not a major deal most of the time. this year i want to make up for the baylor loss well not make up but finish strong and get a little respect back

This will make up for it just fine. I feel like we are well beyond caring about these exhibition games. Already won the Holiday, Cotton, & Fiesta, they were fun, nothing better than the first time, IMO of course.

I'm only coming back to this thread because of MiR.

I don't think so. Unless you're in the title game, bowls are just gravy.

yeah. Winning a Dr. Pepper far surpasses winning any Gravy Boat sans the BCS championship.

Hey, Georgia is a good team. They played 3 FBS teams in the regular season with a winning record.
And Alabama, I mean, talk about earning it. They played 5 teams in the regular season with a winning record.
And eff me if SC didn't piss all over Alabama's mark and played 6 teams in the regular season with a winning record. I mean, at one point, they played 3 teams in a row that ended up with winning records.
Meanwhile, little ol' ksu played 8 rough ridin' teams with a winning record, and finished off the year with 6 in a row.

Maybe. You shouldn't get a prize for almost beating a one-loss team.
Georgia is 1-2 against the 3 ranked opponents they've played this season. That's not fair.

Do the coaches really fill those out, or do they leave it to some second-rung coach on the staff?
