Not to mention that the "eyeball" test was used to put Bama in the game. That is so ignorant. The eyeball test? So know the bcs participants are chosen on who you think is the better team?

Truth. What's more frustrating is this exact scenario happened in 2006 and Michigan got no mulligan despite all the pundits agreeing that OSU and Mich were clearly the best teams...based on eyeball tests. Anyone who thinks Bama deserved the rematch must also believe Florida doesn't deserve the 2006 NC.

The eyeball test is simply a euphamism for unreasoned bias. Don't confuse them with more objective considerations like SOS, conference championships, wins vs. ranked teams, etc. - because the media/voters simply "knew", without further explanation, that Bama was better than OSU.
