BCS Preview

Posted by Huckleberry on October 13th, 2008 under Football

I ran the numbers to see what the BCS standings would look like if released today. Peter Wolfe is the lone holdout on his ratings this year, so I went with the five computers that have published their ratings.

As you can see, we have the hardest schedule of all the real contenders.

There’s more great BCS content at Atomic Teeth.

    You have to feel for JS. You just know that seeing Florida unranked, and Northwestern in the top 15, is eating his brain.

    Actually, it probably makes him chuckle because he told the BCS how dumb their “no margin of victory” mandate was. Florida is #6 in what he considers his true ratings and Northwestern is #34.

    OUR projected SOS of #9 is something to be reckoned with. Even with a loss, if we rebound and win out including big XII champ game. No one else will be near us in the comps (other 1-loss teams that is)

    And i don’t think the projection includes a big Xii champ game, does it?

    We need to pray for Alabama and Penn St losses.

    Scip- are you saying we need Bama/PSU losses if we also lose, or do you worry we could get passed even if we win out? If the latter, I just don’t see us being undefeated and not getting in the championship game.

    No one can pass us if we win out.

    However, we must beat 4 top 10 teams to win out (including Big 12 title game).

    I think we can play for the MNC with one loss if we everyone in the country from a real conference has a loss as well. It just can’t be in the Big 12 title game. That pisses human pollsters off and they’ll penalize us.

    I’m not sure what a 12-0 BYU or Utah looks like vis a vis a one loss major.

    I think he’s saying that if there are a group of 1-loss teams (us included) that we’d be a clear choice as one of the two best. If one of those two remains unbeaten then it could throw a monkey wrench in the mix.

    If we win out it’s clear we’ll be ranked number one.

    Pete is right about Marlon’s running style, Lucky needed to have the ball in space to be effective at all. I think he had a nice career overall though, keep in mind he did have those injury issues his senior year.

    Good player who should have looked out for himself and left early.

    If Sam Houston State wins then Rick Barnes will have trick-fucked me in a completely unexpected way. I figured if Baylor beat us like a drum three time then should be able to ease past Sam Houston State. I did not know about the Rec Specs.

    Freaking BYU.

    Otherwise, I’m 2-1.

  • CloseToJumping commented on the blog post Beat the Barkers NCAA Tourney Bracket   3 hours, 21 minutes ago

    Yeah, that Purdue pick was awesome. It seems like I heard something about them having injuries, but it slipped my mind when making picks. I’ve literally not seen them play for one second this season. Not a highlight, nothing. Good work.

    1-2 to start things off, I think it’s clear I’m going to own this thing.

    Man, Sam Houston State is playing Baylor perfectly. Rec Specs is running the paint. And I always love teams with short guys who jack threes.

    ND proved that the old tried and true, anti-Duke theory about how teams that rely on unathletic white dudes who have to get to the foul line and/or make a alot of really ugly right-handed layups never win in the tourney.

    Great start to the tourney. Two OT games and a one point ND loss.

    Yeah – a bunch of half ass bowl games is a much better idea.

    I think Sam Houston has taken more charges in the first ten minutes than Texas took all season.
