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.

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.

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.

We need to pray for Alabama and Penn St losses.

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?

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.

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