Skynet Championship Series: Week 4 in 2008

As briefly pointed out earlier today in the comments of Mighty's article, we have come to the conclusion that if Oregon State wins out, both Oregon St and USC will make the BCS party. However, if Oregon State should lose once, USC will win the PAC-10, and Ohio State will get the last at-large berth to the BCS party. Of course, we are assuming lots of teams will win lots of games, but I thought this scenario deserves highlighting.

On to the computer vote...
Texas resume is so damn impressive. I'm curious what the computers will do should Texas Tech lose to Oklahoma and Texas remain with one-loss? One computer ranking, Matrix, allows you to run the "what if" scenario, but you can only add up to 5 hypothetical games (meaning it's not an official approximation, as the other games affect everyone else).

According to Matrix, if Oklahoma beats Texas Tech, Oklahoma St, and then Missouri in the Big-12 championship... Oklahoma will be #1 in the land, and the winner of the SEC championship (Alabama or Florida) will be #2. Of course, I can only put in 5 games, so I am sure something else will screw this up and with Texas being ranked right behind these teams, I am sure there are scenarios where Oklahoma and Texas can end up 1 and 2. Don't worry though, the voters will ensure that does not happen.

Most underrated by the humans: Utah, Boise St.
Most overrated by the humans: USC, Penn St (PSU really took a beating in the computers)
