I've been reading the message boards and the overall debate about OSU not being able to crack the top 2 (which they did this week in the AP poll). The argument is UGA and Bama will alternate the top two spots and OSU, regardless of what they do, will stay at #3 as long as the two SEC frontrunners keep winning. So here is an interesting week coming up. We have two top 10 games happening:
#1/#3 Bama at #6/#8 Tennessee
#5/#4 Michigan at #10 PSU
It will be interesting to see what happens to the winners and losers of both of these games. How far will the losers drop and what will happen with the winners? I honestly think that if PSU pulls the upset they will pretty much switch places with Michigan (Michigan will drop to around 10th and PSU will vault to around 5 or 6). If Michigan wins, they will stay where they are while PSU will drop to around 15. On the other hand, I think if Bama wins they take #1 in both polls and Tennessee stays around 10 (maybe drops to 12ish). If Tennessee wins, Bama will drop to 5-7 while Tennessee will enter the top 3.
I just think with these two games we will see just how "slanted" the SEC bias is...
