    Tennessee Titans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 3 times in the 1999/2000 season. It was Jacksonville's only losses on the year.

    If LSU and Alabama win out it is going to take a concerted effort by the voters to put Okie State in the BCS championship. If Virginia Tech and Stanford don't lose I don't think it will happen. The fact that starting in 2010 the Coaches poll is secretive adds an unknown element. Are there enough coaches that hate Saban, the SEC, etc.. that they would unscrupulously vote to "rig it" so that Bama doesn't get in. Would someone such as Chizik for example vote Okie State number one and leave Bama off the ballot entirely. For the record I have no clue what type of person the Auburn coach is, but just picked him because of the rivalry. It will be interesting to look at the 2 polls, Harris and Coaches, and see how well they match up. Integrity could get thrown out of the window if the ballots are in fact secret. We don't have to worry about Les in my view, he will do the decent thing. The vote should never be secret. There is too much of a possibility for collusion, etc..
