who the hell gave Bama 1st place votes??

 

[legendsincrimson]

This might mean that Northern Illinois takes a BCS slot from Oklahoma, but it may not. I've got to go see where NI ranks in the computers.

 

[rolltide14_0]

Florida should be #3 over Oregon. UF's defense is better than Stanford's.

Someone that wants to piss off Saint Nick Saban!

Florida will be #3 when the BCS standings come out. The computers love Florida.

 

[Smart]

Anyone willing to do the math to see is NIU/Boise made top 16?

Since neither Kent St. or N. Ill. were getting any love from the computers last week I doubt if it will change much.

Sagarin = 80.08 32nd

At least one of them ranked ND #3 as well.

 

[legendsincrimson]

I just don't see Northern Illinois getting that much love from the computers.

 

[legendsincrimson]

Northern Illinois will finish at #17 or even at #18. There is just not enough love in the hearts of the computers for any BCS buster this year.

 

[Cobrabit]

NIU computer rankings should be better than last week because they did beat a top 20 team in Kent St., so that may be enough to push them into the top 16.

Damn, I can't believe Kent st. was even ranked. None of these crappy teams should be ranked....ever.

Here is the NCAA stats page detailing their SOS rankings based on pure win/loss criteria:

Notice who's down there at the bottom?

 

[legendsincrimson]

It looks like the Georgia dirty eye poker dawgs will finish 4th in front of Oregon. Georgia will likely end up playing in a bowl with a name that suits their type of play, the Chick-Fillet Bowl.

 

[Gatorchip]

So UGA isn't #3 huh?

Go figure.

 

[romeo212000]

At least one of them ranked ND #3 as well.
