Actually, just realized that A&M and Mizzou play at the end of November, so A&M controls its own destiny. You could see Mizzou go to 11-0 and then lose its next two games (A&M and Alabama in the CCG), in which case a two loss A&M would definitely get the second BCS bid.

Obviously this requires them to win out...

Not if Mizzou beats Bama in the SEC CG though. Unlikely, but still.

Oh I wasn't really talking about polls. I honestly don't really pay much attention to how other people vote. My thoughts on all that is everyone gets a vote, and the things that are "off" get fixed by the majority.

As for Bama, it's cuz I'm a blind homer.

I let my computer do most of my voting, and I only make tiny adjustments for things I feel are anomalies. I am a very strong believer in SoS, and Alabama's SoS dropped a bunch this week due to all the SEC losses. But I ain't too worried, it'll pick up when I matters most I think/hope.

Bamabino might not be as big of a homer as them, but his poll is by far one of the most outrageous.

 

[WhiteMamba]

His rankings is nothing more than a troll poll.

his goal is accomplished. Disrupting yet another thread. what, 1 or 2 pages now on bino....

That is all he is here for. To come into an established thread and knock it off course.

Done with him.

Mettengropedher had a fight with his boyfriend Friday night, but they made up Sunday. Can't punish them for that.

LMAO@ a team with 19 straight wins and have yet to play or beat a top 20 team. OMG what a bunch of creampuffs. Learn some football. I know they don't teach it in Ohio. No different than last year. There at least 15 teams that would take Ohio State to the woodshed.

Who's trolling? My name was brought up and I was called a dumbass. And coming from someone who posed and trolls multiple teams with multiple alias' at ESPN, your opinion means squat. My only post in this thread was about Fresno St. So STFU!

They'd still be 2nd if Johnny Football hadn't hurt his shoulder. I'm thinking they drop to around 6th or 7th in my upcoming ranking.

LSU/Auburn/A&M...........gotta' give LSU credit for dominant head-to-head over Auburn

Nah, he's an old ESPN reject too.

What does he bring to the table?

Put it this way: If Alabama and A&M win out, A&M goes to the Sugar Bowl.

That's not really being in control of their own destiny, because they depend on Bama winning, but that's probably the next best thing.

No, Auburn goes by way of the tie breaker. If it is indeed a west team that goes.

It's just a poll.

goes deeper than just the poll.

So if they both have two losses and Auburn lost more recently, they still go? Interesting.

I think so, because Auburn beat A&M for the tie breaker.

That's how the SEC divisions work anyway, but the BCS selection may be based on ranks, I don't know.

 

[Bamabino]

I disagree, I only really see him reply to people who are constantly trying to troll Alabama fans. Maybe I'm missing the rest, but I don't see him starting shit that often, but I do see him throwing it back quite a bit.

Exactly. As far as my rankings go, they're based on who a team has played, who a team has beat and who I think would win a head-to-head matchup.I fired back in this thread after being personally attacked. If that's trolling then ban me.

 

[KansasSooner]

So what you're saying is if an SEC teams loses to another SEC team they should still be ranked high no matter how many scrub teams they have beat, never mind other teams with fewer losses have played a tougher schedule. Gotcha.

You forgot to rank Vanderbilt and Arkansas. They've played some good teams, and they are in the sec, and they try really hard. Those 2 should at least be 19-24 or so, hey???

Example?

Example?

A 2-loss Texas A&M team who has lost both tough games they have played coming in at #6.

I was referring to examples of teams outside my top 10 with more impressive wins. There aren't any.

You must be putting a lot of stock into a 4-3 Ole Miss team.

They'd beat VT. They SHO' would!
