But I do think it should be Bama, as they are head and shoulders the second best team.

That is an assumption based on stats and a loss by Alabama to LSU. The only thing that can be proven is that LSU > Bama, as was settled on the field. I'm amazed how confident everyone seems to be that Alabama is somehow magically entrenchted at number 2. The best thing they have going for them is that they managed to play LSU pretty close while still losing. Other than that, they've played a mediocre schedule and taken advantage of a down SEC. I just find it interesting that there is a strong possibility that several other one loss teams, some of them conference champions, may get passed over for the opportunity on the field to prove themselves against LSU because Alabama managed to keep the "Game of the Century" close.
