Master KSU Butthurt About Being Passed Over Eventually Thread

Hey Kim carnes, are you in manhattan? Because I'd like to say eff you to your face

My concern is that Alabama AND Oregon will rise in the computer rankings dramatically knocking us down.  The amount of BCS points we have now is the most we will likely have all year (unless on of the four loses).  We will begin to lose points in the coaches and Harris polls.   I know no one really knows what will happen, but from I have read and the little math I have done its almost inevitable that Oregon passes us at the end of the year we both finish undefeated.  It won't be by a lot, but the  bump they get this weekend (if everyone wins) will tell us a lot.

Alabama's SOS looks worse than ND after the A&M game

They have the SEC Championship. We just need them to stay ahead of the other #2's in the computers for buffering, though.

I'm optimistic as can be about KSU's chances of making the NC. I also know that voters are gonna vote and I'm not a very trusting person.

if it's meaningful

I really think voter's are gonna start to eff around with us. I can see lots of people starting to put us at 4th in the polls. Also, if the unthinkable happens and Alabama loses. I could see an LSU team being slotted ahead of us. Maybe I am just a worry wart?

I don't really care if we go to the NC or not. The whole system is a farce

LSU will not jump us. Everyone keeps seeing the "Case for #2" segments on ESPN, and everyone knows there's a dropoff after #4. If LSU beats Alabama, SEC voters will probably put them ahead of us, but no one else will.

I think voters will put us fourth or something, but I think the significant movement would already have happened. No way LSU jumps us if we're undefeated. I'm somewhat worried about some of the 5(!) Pac-12 coaches with votes putting Oregon #1 ahead of Bama more than anything. They may have some stupid code that would keep them from doing it, though.

Coaches don't give a crap about ND.  Also, they aren't just going to put ND ahead of us without good reason.

Not being in a conference is going to hurt ND when it comes to getting votes. Big 12 voters will give K-State the edge, Pac-12 voters will give Oregon the edge, and ND's got nobody. ACC I guess, but they'd probably rather help out FSU.

Exactly. The coaches are not the media and coaches respect Bill. Chip Kelly....I'm guessing not so much.

[Winters]

Hmmmmmm..

[AbeFroman]

Coaches pulled that down-voting crap last year cause the SEC was trying to make it an all-SEC game. It was Miles and Saban's cronies that did that.

I don't think they'll do that when it's three non-SEC teams competing for the last spot (assuming Bama wins out). If anything they'd probably vote Oregon down because they are perceived to be the bigger threat to the SEC 'streak'.

[star seed 7]

i LOL at the notion that there is some national conspiracy to vote ksu 25th or something to keep them out of the NC.

Not so much a conspiracy to keep KSU out as it is to get Notre Dame in

As has been mentioned, its the worry of getting 4th or 5th place votes. But now that I think about it, you were probably being intentionally dense for comedy(?).

[SwiftCat]

Literally no one except the posters on goEMAW.com think that an undefeated K-State will be in over an undefeated Oregon. No one.

 

Some people on College Football Daily (ESPN U) do. They both had Oregon as the second best team in their Top 5, but when they did bowl selection they both had the Cats in the NC.

[SwiftCat]

Why the eff does the BCS use the coaches poll. I mean these guys have legit motives to screw with the polls. What a joke of a system.

IIRC, Miles put us at about #14 (I think he had us the lowest of any coach) at the end of the regular season. That basically knocked OSU out by .004 or something like that.

You hope the published ballots will help there.
