Computers love us. Let's see the crybabies explain this one.

They don't have to. :angry:

All those talking heads and BsCS voters just do what they will, without consequence. The system is terribly flawed, you see?

Two weeks to go...try to be patient. :mellow:

I meant the whiners on this forum, but right the same goes for others.

I love the fact that wisconsin embarrased indiana 83-20 and the conputer rank is .6800. Put points on a team and embarras them for the sake of human polls and the computers slap them instead. :tongue:

 

[Cougar/Frog]

If we had Boise's votes in the human polls and Boise had ours, we would be at .91 overall or so, while Boise would be at .86 or so.

As such, if Boise gives voters a reason to doubt them(close game vs. Nevada) they are toast, even if they get a large boost from computers with a win.

Plus, Utah State is going to completely offset any gains Boise gets in the computers with Nevada, leaving Boise and TCU in pretty much the same computer position as they are now.


So, was there anyway TCU could have avoided this? Yes, win the Fiesta Bowl, RUTS on every opponent, and hope that Utah does not die at ND. Oops, too late on all three.

We need Utah to beat BYU, convincingly. The higher utah moves up in the polls the better for us. Also need Pitt to beat W Virginia.
