2010 Nebraska Needs

[nolehusker]

#10..Oklahoma St to win @ Kansas
#11..Alabama to lose to Georgia St Not
#12..Michigan St to lose to Purdue
#14..Oklahoma to win @ Baylor
#15..Missouri to win @ Iowa St
#16..Virginia Tech to Lose @ Miami (FL)
#18..Nevada to lose to New Mexico St
#19..Texas A&M to lose to Nebraska
#23..Utah to lose @ San Diego St.



Baylor to lose to Oklahoma
Oregon St to lose to USC
Hawaii to lose to San Jose St
Air Force to lose @ UNLV Not
Washington to beat UCLA Check

Do we really need this portion. I could see the Ohio St/Iowa part cause that might jump us, but I don't see anything behind playing a part in this.

The BCS formula is FLUID.
It essentially starts from scratch every week with it's updated data. That Utah was ranked #6 two weeks ago has no bearing. It is the here and now ranking and will be the then and there ranking come Dec 5th. when someone hits the ENTER button and #1 and #2 are selected to play for the title.

So yes. Those games are of upmost importance if either current #1 or #2 were to lose. It is quite likely if Oregon or Auburn were to lose that a one loss AQ will jump Boise and TCU. Very likely.

Boise's has only beaten one quality opponent in Va Tech @ #16. If Miami were to beat Va Tech they will drop in the polls (the here and now). They also have the James Madison loss hanging over their heads (losses and strength of schedule). Va Tech also has to play an ACC CCG.

TCU has only beaten one quality opponent in Utah. If Utah loses again they will drop completely from the Top 25. Therefore the humans will have to conciously put a team in the NC game that hasn't even beaten a Top 25 opponent. The doubt in TCU has already begun as they slipped from #3 to #4 in both human polls that make up the BCS.

The computer elements of the formula stands for 33%. They don't look at style points, yet strength of schedule and losses are weighed heavily.

My scenario is "IF Oregon or Auburn were to lose" because if they don't it's a moot point.

There are many human voters out there that have Boise and TCU #3 and #4 because it's the PC thing to do and there's no pressure to keep them out of the big game as long as there are 2 AQ's holding those spots for them to vote for . If one of those AQ's falls the pressure will be on and the body of work will have to be looked at harder.

TCU beat Baylor...You want Baylor to lose.
TCU beat Utah...You want Utah to lose.
TCU and Boise both beat Oregon St. You want Oregon St to lose.
Boise will be playing Nevada..You want Nevada to lose..
Boise beat Hawaii...You want Hawaii to lose
Neither play a CCG. Neither do the Pac 10 or Big 10.

You want all of Nebraska's ranked opponents to keep winning out side of when OU plays Okie Lite. In that scenario you want OU to win because we'll play them in the CCG and that will be yet another quality opponent for the resume..

The computers have no bias and will take care of their portion of the formula as long as Boise and TCU's opponents continue to fall.
In the human voters however, there needs to be doubt created. The doubt that has been the crux all season. Shall a team be rewarded with a National Title that played in weak conferences that just about any top 15 team could run the table in? Doubt will be created when they sit down Dec 5th and see that TCU and Boise have not beaten a true quality opponent.

If #1 or #2 loses this will come down to BCS points. You want Nebraska to have lots of points..You want the other Top 10 teams to have less points......

Get the picture?

1. Boise St
2. TCU

"Boise will be playing Nevada..You want Nevada to lose.."

Unless of course when they play Boise..Then you want them to win..

I'm gettin a little sick of these douches on TV talking about how Auburn should still play in the national title if they lose to Alabama

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'd like to ask you guys your opinion on this situation..................what if Nebraska wins tomorrow impressively, by like 17 points or more...............and LSU doesn't win impressively at all over Ole Miss.

Would we have a chance to jump Wisconsin, Stanford, AND LSU??? I think we might. We're already practically tied with Wisconsin and Stanford, so I honestly think that is an easy jump as long as we win tomorrow night...........but LSU isn't THAT far in front of us either.

 

[iruletheskool]

I think we should also jump TCU..

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I think we should also jump TCU..

LOL..........I honestly think we will if we win out and win the Big 12 Chumpionship game

 

[iruletheskool]

Who the hell have they beat? the Beavs?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Who the hell have they beat? the Beavs?

Yea, nobody.........unfortunately they still have the human vote going in their favor. They won't though after the Big 12 Championship

 

[Red_Alert]

They did a good job of hyping Fresno St for the tv ratings tonight.

Fresno St Wins...

Cincinnati (3-6)
Utah St (4-6)
Cal Poly
New Mexico St (2-8)
San Jose St (1-9)
Louisiana Tech (4-6)

(15-35) excluding Cal Poly...


BTW Kellen Moore was still in the game up 37-0 with 12 minutes to play to make it 44-0

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Not to mention Fresno was destroyed by Ole Miss..........who is a shitty ass team.

No help for NU in the Top 10 this week..

Most everyone who played today was on the ropes at some point but pulled it out..

Damn the luck anyway...

Nebraska had better take care of business..

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

LSU could lose ground though in the human polls at the end of the season.......if it comes down to a 1-loss Nebraska team who won the Big 12 Championship and a 1-loss LSU team that just got lucky to beat the worst team in the SEC at home

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I guess it doesn't matter though, they'll gain that ground back if they beat Arkansas

LSU has to play Arkansas yet too...

NU is close in points to Wisconsin and Stanford if we can just get LSU and Auburn out of the way..
