Um Jimmy -- Dytide was saying Stanford vs Oregon.
And your assessment about OSU is also very wrong. As I said a couple of posts above I can see why Bama is above OSU (although I can also see the argument for OSU being above Bama). But Stanford and/or Arkansas over OSU is laughable.
Well mattbrot, if that is so, why didn't you start a thread objecting to Oklahoma State being ranked behind both Satnford and Virginia Tech before last week?
Back on November 13, Oklahoma State was 10 & 0 and ranked #2, while 9 & 1 Alabama was ranked #3. Nobody had a problem with either ranking. Both rankings made sense. Oklahoma State along with LSU were the last two unbeaten teams, and Alabama easily had the "best" loss of any of the 1-loss teams, so having them at #3 (the highest ranked 1-loss team) made sense.
The following week, however, everything changed. The #2, 4, 5, and 7th ranked teams all lost. Oklahoma State, as #2 ranked team, lost to a 28 point underdog. Accordingly Oklahoma State dropped from #2 to #6. Aside from Boise State, they were the lowest ranked 1-loss team because they had by far the worse loss. Alabama lost to LSU, Arkansas had lost to Alabama, Virginia Tech lost to Clemson, and Stanford lost to Oregon.
Nobody had a problem with these rankings. No one started any threads on Covers about so and so being a box because they put Oklahoma State at #6. No one started any threads on Covers about so and so being a box because they put Alabama at #2, or about Oregon being ranked 2 spots ahead of Oklahoma State. Everyone was cool with that.
Now, all of sudden, Covers posters are up in arms and are bitching because some coaches still have Stanford ranked ahead of Oklahoma State where they belong.
Of course what these Covers posters are really pissed off about is not whether Stanford should be ranked ahead of or behind Oklahoma State, they're complaining about the worst 1-loss team outside of Boise not leap-frogging both Stanford AND Alabama. And the funny thing is that even the people making this argument concede the best two teams are LSU and Alabama, and thus concede how utterly ridiculous their illogical argument is.
Below is a link to my shocked face because the vast majority of the people who had a vote in this matter elected to not re-write the rule book at the 11th hour as some of our genius Covers posters would have them do.
