I agree with your sentiment but think that the powers that be will still push Luck for Heisman and so Stanford will stay in the top 10

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

The computers will be the deciding factor on Arkansas moving past OU, and I don't think they'll do it this week.

The way I see it, the Hogs almost control their own destiny... I really think OU will beat OSU.  OU has the D to contain OSU, the same cannot be said the other way.  If the Hogs win out, they'll jump OU and Oregon, so the only hurdle will be Bama.  Does LSU drop behind Bama if we beat LSU?  No clue.  If they don't, we could be bowling in New Orleans, if they do, we'll have to hope GA beats Bama.

OU's Defense couldn't contain Texas Tech.  The Oklahoma State/OU game will be in Stillwater.  There are some people across the Country who may feel that Oklahoma State has a better set of WRs than we do (even though I don't agree with that).  Also, Oklahoma State's OL was the #2 ranked OL in the Nation coming into the Season. 

Additionally, OU losing Broyles is going to hurt OU.  He was their main option in their Offense.

And with TT getting hammered by OSU, that should hurt them in the SOS.

Heard it on the radio tonight and I remember when Bosie State and TCU were complaining about being left out of the BCS it was changed.  It could have been made to prevent a law suit by teams in non AQ conferences.

I hate it as much as anyone but I expect Stanford to stay in front of Arkansas. I also do not expect Oklahoma to fall behind Arkansas on a bye week. They are darlings in the computer ranking for some reason. I don't know, maybe the TT blow out will drop them but it would not surprise me all that much if they some how stay in front of Oregon.  :o

3. The champion of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, or the Western Athletic Conference will earn an automatic berth in a BCS bowl game if either:


   A. Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or,
  B. Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.

No more than one such team from Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference shall earn an automatic berth in any year. (Note: a second team may be eligible for at-large eligibility as noted below.) If two or more teams from those conferences satisfy the provisions for an automatic berth, then the team with the highest finish in the final BCS Standings will receive the automatic berth, and the remaining team or teams will be considered for at-large selection if it meets the criteria.

Stanford has zero chance of staying above arkansas.  I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about that.

Exactly my thoughts. It would be a travesty if OU is still ahead of us. I think the bye week for OU allows us to match the total games which should help us with the computers especially with the beating TTU took today. If the pollsters continue to put them ahead of us then they need to be examined. They lost at home to a terrible TTU team. We lost on the road to the #3 team. There is no comparison. There is not even an argument to be made.

Would that be the same Sooner D that held Texas Tech down? Sooners can't
stop ANYbody that throws the ball. Best count on someone else beating the
Cowboys, because OU sure as hell isn't going to do it. Stanford will drop out
of the top 10 after that loss. And although Luck may be having a love affair
with the Heisman voters, 2 interceptions, a lost fumble, and an old fashioned
azz whupin ain't gonna keep that over rated team in the top 10. Bama's liable
to drop a spot after that showing against Miss St. Ok St. will pick up more
number 1 votes this week after thrashing the team that beat the Sooners.
Where ever Boise falls to, Luck and his fallen Tree will be one spot above.
The way we dropped after beating a top ten SC last week, don't be surprised to
see Clemson jump past us. Not saying we go down, but don't be shocked. All you
Boise haters best be putting the shift over to Houston now, because as sorry a
schedule that Boise might have had, Houston's just might be weaker than UCA's.
With Joe's punt return and Jarius' great tip drill catch all over the place, we might
sneak into 6th, but I won't be the least bit surprised if 7th is as high as we go this week.

Doesn't matter so long as we move ahead of Stanford and Boise.  Everything else is just temporary.

DSmithNPS

BCSGuru.com has the Hogs projected at #6 still behind the Sooners. Alabama moving up to #3. Going to be tough getting ahead of Alabama without a Bama loss.

I'm not sure of what our ranking will be...but Houston worries me as the one team that could keep us in the latter half of the top ten.

Quite the opposite, the polls are where we suffer. With Boise State and Stanford losing, those voters have to vote for someone else now. Who are they going to turn to? Oklahoma, who didn't play, or Arkansas, who won 49-7 and lit up the highlight reels for the week.

The Big East is an AQ conference. I don't see a Big East team ranked higher then Houston, see part "B" above.  The Big East helped the non AQ conferences last year.  Again they will send a team to a BCS bowl that has no business playing in a BCS bowl.

Really hoping OU's loss to TT is now seen for what it was, thus they stay at 6, we jump to 5.

One can only hope.

FANONTHEHILL

It probably won't happen this way, but OU should definitely fall below the Hogs.  Their loss is to 5-5 overall, 2-5 in the Big 12 Texas Tech.  Stanford should drop below us since their only wins over top 25 teams were USC and Washington.  Boise will drop like a stone.

My top 10:
LSU
OK St
Bama
Oregon
Arkansas
OU
Stanford
Clemson
VA Tech
Houston (the new Boise)  No right to be here

Clemson should drop after its embarassing win at home vs Wake. And Virginia Tech should move up.

Oklahoma should drop too as its loss become even more humiliating -- worst loss of any of the one-loss teams (sorry to bring up as I know there is another thread on this.)

Alabama should have dropped more after its loss to LSU AT HOME -- there could be some payback and a drop this week after a close in the first half win vs MSU.

And with TT getting hammered by OSU, that should hurt them in the SOS.

Tech's loss won't affect OU's SOS, as they play both teams in that game.  Losses mainly affect your SOS in regards to OOC play.

Now Tech's demolition may affect OU in the computers since they lost AT HOME to a team getting stomped every game since.  It should affect OU in their human polls, but people are stupid and blind loyalties within the Big 12-? won't change their votes.
