  Aye.

  I would rather take your money, but since you will not back up your opinions in cash I do not take them very seriously. There are certain people who just like to run their mouths but cannot or will not back it up in any way, shape or form.
  
  Again Oklahoma at number one is a joke. You know it and I know it. That is why you will not put your money on the line. I do not care about Auburn or LSU but I am calling out that Oklahoma at number one is a joke.
  
  There are several teams that could be number one Oklahoma is not one of them.

  LOL.

  Who cares who is #1 tonight?
• jordo212000

  

  Curious, why is Oklahoma such a joke at #1?

  I am calling out that Oklahoma at number one is a joke.

  WHEN?
  
  Now? or at the end of the season?

  Ummm...seriously? You don't get that the standings now are not the standings come January? And you don't get that the fact I don't think Oklahoma is a joke at #1 has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I think they will lose in the future? Really?

  wow really? The BCS now is not the one is January? I posted that the NOW number one ranking is wrong you argued against that.
  Then why even respond to my post if you agree that Oklahoma is not number one in the country? Are you a troll?
  
  The BCS says Oklahoma is number one I say they are wrong and it is a joke. Apparently you agree but yet want to ridicule my posts. You are making no sense at all???

  No problem with them at #1 right now. They deserve it as much as anyone else. I think they'll lose a game in the future - that doesn't mean that they will and it doesn't change that they haven't. And so, for now, there's no reason to say they are a joke at #1 or that the system is flawed. The system has merely evaluated what teams have done up to this point, included two distinct groups of human opinions as well as computer logic and told us who sits at the top for the moment.

  Big Sky Conference. Oklahoma is in first place. They joined so they could play a more deserving schedule like Boise State.

  Damn, good move on their part!! Kind of an under the radar move, huh?

  Auburn 37 Kentucky 34
  Florida 48 Kentucky 14
  
  LSU 16 Tennessee 14
  Georgia 41 Tennessee 14
  Oregon 48 Tennessee 13
  
  Maybe Oregon is more deserving. Oh but wait:
  
  Oregon 43 Wash St 23
  USC 50 Wash St 14
  Ok St 65 Wash St 17
  
  What about OK State?
  Ok St 38 TAM 35
  Mizzou 30 TAM 9
  
  What about Mizzou?

  
  Nice post.
  
  It's also worth noting that the BCS computers are not permitted to take margin of victory into account. If they were, you'd get very different rankings.

  None of the six computer rankings used have a margin of victory element in them? Or are they removed?
• Cleveland Buck

  

  The computers that the BCS uses have margin of victory removed from their algorithms. That's why Sagarin has a couple different rankings.

  The BCS has spoken and I call BS on it. You on the other hand seem to defend it or are you blowing smoke? Put your money where your mouth is, I am willing to.

  Zombaypirate;523583 wrote:Right now anyone that wants to wager on the BCS first week decision that Oklahoma is the best team in the country put your money where you mouth is or shut up.

  Seriously, dude? Why are you acting like such a douche nozzle? You do realize the BCS rankings are likely to change weekly between now and the end of the season, right? Oklahoma is undefeated right now...and at least 4 NCAA coaches felt that they were the best team in the country given the fact that they received 4 first place votes.
  

  Zombaypirate;523606 wrote:Just like I thought.... sigh... Auburn or LSU are more deserving than Oklahoma right now but none of the above will be National champion at the end of the season.
  
  The travesty continues Oklahoma is a joke at number one and when they lose I will call you out for agreeing with this idiocy. You are now agreeing that Oklahoma deserves to be number one. I gotcha. However you not willing to put your money where your mouth is.

  
  So Auburn and LSU are more deserving right now...but then in the same sentence you say that they won't win the National Championship? By your absolutely stupid train of thought...if they aren't going to win the National Championship then why are they more deserving of a #1 ranking?
  
  So if LSU and Auburn are more deserving than Oklahoma right now of a #1 ranking...do we all get to call you out for being a complete dumb fuck when LSU and/or Auburn lose since you wanna be a bad ass and hate on everyone who doesn't care that Oklahoma is #1 right now?

  Which is what I remember...but then you could ask to what degree those portions of the formula weight the results. By dropping the high and low and taking the average you have what I would call a decent representation. I really find it hard to find fault with the way things are set up in the BCS.

  They aren't allowed to consider the margin of victory. Most of the rankings publish a separate list, which varies quite a bit from what the BCS uses. That's partially why you see really strange computer results early in the season. It shakes out a bit more by the end.

  Agreed. Outside of a playoff, the current BCS format is the most fair.

  The format is fine until the final week or 2 when those doing the voting start gaming the system. (Changing their votes to benefit the conference, dropping non-AQ teams really low to prevent them from making it, dropping a team due dislike/bias)

  The BCS Standings are out and here's how it breaks down...
  
  TEAM -- Remaining key games
  
  1. Oklahoma -- @ #11 Missouri; @ #14 Oklahoma State
  2. Oregon -- @ USC; vs Washington; vs #18 Arizona; @ Oregon State
  3. Boise State -- @ Nevada?!?!
  4. Auburn -- vs #6 LSU; vs Georgia; @ #8 Alabama
  5. TCU -- @ #9 Utah
  6. LSU -- @ #4 auburn; vs #8 Alabama; @ #23 Arkansas
  7. Michigan State -- @ #15 Iowa; @ Penn State
  8. Alabama -- @ Tennessee; @ #6 LSU, vs #24 Mississippi State; vs #4 Auburn
  9. Utah -- vs #5 TCU; @ ND; vs BYU
  10. Ohio State
  
  
  While our shot is bleak, there's still an outside chance. It's happened before; will lightning strike twice?!
  
  Personally, I think Oklahoma loses at least 1 game. Not sure it will be to Missouri or Oklahoma State, but I think they lose at least 1 between Missouri, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, & Oklahoma State.
  
  Oregon will certainly lose 1 game just like how USC always managed to lose at least 1.
  
  Boise State, unfortunately, will probably go undefeated.
  
  Auburn will certainly lose 1 game.
  
  TCU, I think, will lose 1 game.
  
  LSU will certainly lose 1 game.
  
  Michigan State probably chokes at least one away; personally I think to Iowa.
  
  Alabama will likely lose 1 more.
  
  Utah will likely lose 1 game.
  
  So... IF OSU can win out and IF Boise State or TCU can find a way to slip up, we could just see OSU sneak in thru the back-door, yet again.
  
  At the very worst, the Buckeyes will finish in the top 5 of the BCS, if not top 3 (assuming they can win out -- which I think they have a very good shot at doing).
  
  
  
  I do realize this is like "clenching onto the girlfriend when you just can't seem to accept... 'it's over'." :/
