Now...will the voters do it again and slide BAMA to #2 with a OSU win over OU? I have no clue, but I think they will. The point of this is only to show that they HAVE done quite a bit of re-evaluating in the final poll once before...so it would not exactly be treading new ground by penalizing BAMA for MERELY being the SECW runners-up.


My guess is enough voters will agree the SECw runner up is better than Ok. State or VT this year and vote that way. Unless Ok. State wins by three TD's I have no doubt about that myself. Not sure why people are so worried about Bama??? LSU will win the NCG regardless of the competition.

Remarkable things fell so right for the Tigers to get in the 'ship.

So no other conference gets a shot? That's dumb. What has Bama done to say they are better than all conference champions?

No offense Roger, but there is nothing to prove Bama is surely better than OSU. They have no common opponents, and the SEC was just horrible this year. There is a reason the computers all rate the Big 12 as the best conference, and people seem to forget that they don't have the benefit of playing an extra cupcake like the SEC with their 9 game conference schedule.

I can see that.

My interest in this isn't driven by worry or fear, though that makes a nice hammer with which to bash people with in this discussion...call them chicken. haha

Seriously, it's more about the integrity of the system. I'm one of the VERY FEW people who kind of like the BCS set up...I just happen to think it needs a few rather obvious tweaks...the first making it a rule that in order to be in the Final Two in the final BCS poll, a team MUST have won it's conference. This "fixes" the Nebraska issue from around 2000, the OU/SC bullshite from 2003, would have ensured no rematch in 2006 with Mich and OSU, etc.
