    if they get some love at Va Tech's expense, then i think that actually might not be too bad, b/c LSU is kings of the computers over both those schools... by a decent margin, too.

    USCw may get some love, but that Stanford game is going to hurt them. Out of all the upsets this year, that game was the biggest since the Cardinal were a 40pt dog.

    You hit the nail on the head.

    USC really scares me. The media LOVES USC.

    Logic would dictate you can't put a Stanford loss up against a loss to ARK.

    Oklahoma is the only team I can understand going before LSU. USC only has 2 wins versus teams with winning records. I will puke if they go.

    Projected computers for tomorrow

    1. VTech........... .970
    2. LSU.............. .950
    3. Ohio State..... .930
    4. Missouri......... .860
    5. Georgia.......... .790
    6. Kansas.......... .740
    7. Oklahoma....... .730
    8. WVU............. .730
    9. Arizona State.. .720
    10. USC............. .710

    As you can see, Georgia, OU and USC fighting an uphill battle. There is simply no chance.

    Listened to late night ESPN radio and some guy named Valvano was saying it should be Ohio State and VT, called it absurd if LSU leap frogs them.
    Not once did he mention the beating we gave them earlier in the year.

    USC after losing to Standford definately should not be in. VT lost to you guys so they should not be in. OU may have a chance since they beat the #1 team at the time in their championship game. So it really seems like it will be who the pollsters like more OU or LSU to play the Bucks in the NC game.

    In order for OU to get in, they would have to be a solid #2 in the humans, and LSU would have to be a weak #3 (almost a #4 on average).

    Is that possible? Anything is possible, but I don't see it.

    They lost to Colorado. I think that alone prevents them from getting the proper votes.
