Should have known arkansas would jump us... Now we need either Arkansas or Florida to lose another game, then the one that loses needs to win the SEC championship game, for ND to have a shot....

....Oh man, if Florida would have lost that game, we would be sitting at 5 with a chance to knock off the No.3-4 in front of us...

The AP doesnt affect the BCS rankings at all luckily, but the Harris Poll does. Anybody know when the Harris Poll comes out?

I don't have a problem with Arkansas jumping us...they look REALLY good and have played a solid schedule with some excellent wins.

Next couple of hours I thought... Isn't the BCS usually wrapped up by late afternoon?

 

[irishfan]

Ya usually around 4 i think.

Ya usually around 4 i think.

it's broadcasted following the 1 o'clock football games on Fox.

 

[mirertobrooks]

I have no idea how there going to sort this thing out, I guess just wait and see, but this is going to be pretty contoversial.

 

[Clotho]

Wow that's a fucking joke. We have no shot now. Whoever wins the SEC title game gets the bid, no matter what happens. I fucking hate that overrated conference.

edit

This is just the AP poll. I forgot they're not involved in the decisions. More important are the other polls. But if those do this, we're done, unless we really wallop SC.

 

[Clotho]

Also, I like that according to AP logic, beating #22, without its best two offensive players, merits jumping us.

 

[NDFan78]

Go LSU beat Arkansas! Go Arkansas beat Florida!

go sec fall off the face of the earth

This is nothing but a friggin scam. Who in the hell comes up with this crap. And Rutgers really got hosed.

It's not like the difference is huge. If Arkansas struggles this week against Mississippi St. than it could be made up. If they lose to LSU, it will be made up.

The best scenario will be Arkansas losing to LSU and beating Florida in the championship.

But I also would like to see Bowden wake his team up and beat Florida as well.

I stopped worrying about the AP....they don't affect the BCS so let em rank ND last.

 

[Clotho]

FSU has no shot against Florida. That team has just quit.

 

[WinOverAll08]

Guys, it's all about the Coaches. AP really is worthless this year because it has no BCS implications. We're number 5 in Coaches, so it's all good.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

That is 10000% true. FSU is pathetic. It is getting UGLY in Florida right now.

ND #5 in both harris and Coaches poll. #6 behind an SEC team that jumped 6 spots. Are we honestly supposed to believe that Sportswriters aren't biased for the SEC?

They have played against a tougher schedle and done well...I can live with them jumping ahead of us. They did not deserve to be so low.
