Breaking down the oky st vs bama math. Coaches poll is out and almost a tie. What most people don't realize is it's percentage of votes not straight who has more votes in the poll. So it's so close it that vote it's almost like a tie.
Bama has computers polls last week had oky state 2nd in 2 of the 6 polls, with their win vs Oklahoma(who computers also love) should put them in 2nd in all polls(even if their was one that didn't it would get thrown out). So if its a clean sweep of the comp polls, like a think it will be, 2/3 the votes our in and oky state has avg 9433.5 and bama has 9392.
So it comes down to the harris poll, but remember harris poll had oky state 5th last week, but the vtech loss should help them. Bama last week got 111/115 2nd place votes, I think that's going to change let's assume they get 2/3 of the 2nd place votes and 1/3 3rd place votes. That give them 9499 and average up to 9427. Which would mean oky state would need 2697 pts from the 115 votes. If they got 1/3 2nd place votes and the rest 3rd place votes that would put them at 2722. Which would put them in the bcs championship, but will 25 of the 115 voters put standford in front of oky state???
My prediction is that Oky state will barely have enough to go to the championship, but it's going to be damn close. The sad part is it could really come down to one vote. Jim Walden may decide this thing people. God love college football not decided on the field, but possiblely decided in Jim Walden's mind.
