Week 12 BCS Standings Projections


I just did a work up of the BCS standings and what I think will happen this week for the top 6 teams.  I assumed that the Harris poll would reflect the AP poll, which it has done pretty accurately over the past few weeks.  I also assumed that the computer rankings would view Oklahoma State the same way that they viewed Oklahoma last week.  In this process, I mocked all 6 computer rankings by looking at where they had all 6 of these teams last week (again with Oklahoma State getting the same treatment as Oklahoma received last week) making sure to include teams like Kansas State who has been ahead of VT and Stanford.  So here it is:

As you can see, from this I’ll go ahead and agree with the experts that Stanford will end up jumping VT.  Hokie fans need to hope for the Harris voters to either keep Oklahoma State in front of Stanford or to also drop them to 6th like the USA Today poll.  The problem arises if Stanford ends up being 2 spots ahead of Tech.
