Not bad. It doesn't differ too much from the polls.

What do I think? I think either Oklahoma or Wisconsin are getting to be butt hurt at the end of the season. The Big 12 may find out just how bad it sucks to not have a conference championship.

ELO Chess is what is used for the actual BCS calculation....

Seems reasonable, but I am sort of confused how we are ranked so high on the ELO chess ranking (the one used by the BCS). It doesn't count margin of victory, so if our SOS is way beneath all of the undefeated teams, how are we ranked above all but LSU, Bama, and Clemson?

If Oklahoma wins out, there is ZERO chance that they don't go to the title game. Outside of them winning a game on fifth down, the pollsters will not drop beneath anybody outside the SEC if they beat Oklahoma State, Texas, and everyone else on their schedule.

I think Big12 will be ok without a Championship game this year with Texas being better, Kansas State playing well, A&M being on the upside, Okie State being really good and even Baylor playing well.

It could come and haunt them one day in the future if these teams start to struggle and there really isn't a lot of good teams.

LSU must be dragging down Oregon's SOS.
