Explain the corruption. Who makes the money with Bama in the SECCG instead of LSU.
Details please.
2 undefeated teams bring in a bigger tv audience. Also Bama brings in a bigger tv audience because the media is praising them 24/7 and all the bandwagon football fans tune in to watch them.

Now your just guessing.
Guessing? All the talking heads on ESPN( you know, the network you guys are accusing of not wanting LSU in the SECCG) stated LSU controled its own destiny to the title game.

Agreed. But that's the networks, not the SEC office. The SEC will pay ESPN and CBS the contractually agreed amount over the next 15 years regardless who is in the SECCG and BCSCG.
The networks make more money, not the SEC. You would have to conclude ESPN and CBS influence the SEC office to force their officials to cheat.

I was just stating reasons on why the media and tv stations get more money with bama. The more people that watch the channel the more money they can charge for commercials during that time slot. The officiating and sec have always been giving Bama the benefit of the doubt since Bryant was there. The sec office is over there in Mobile Alabama and im sure they hear plenty of Bama fans over there

I'm not accussing them of anything. The SEC officials are governed by the SEC. Not ESPN. If we blame anything on anyone that is where the guilt lies. Are they guilty, I don't know. But LSU would have been a long shot at best to get in the game even if they one out. Wether you like it are not Cin and Iowa would have both gotten in over LSU if undefeated. I doubt we would have been able to beat out Oregon if they had won out as well, but with that one I am just guessing too. Don't let the media tell you what you need to think. Most of the time they are more lost than we are.

The refs and sec league official are human and can be influenced by their surroundings.
There is a pattern that has crossed a threshold of reasonable mistakes.
There is a motive, exposure and 15+ million $$ for a second BCS team.
Is there proof? no.
Evidence? Yes, but that is subjective.
Motive? Yes, prestige, ratings and BCS payouts.
We are remiss as fan who value the integrity of the game to not question an OBVIOUSLY bad and suspicious situation.

I heard a rumor that Obama is going to shut down the SEC, BCS and NASCAR.

He can't shut them down, the gov't owns them too!

Follow the money. ESPN will be paying Billions to telecast SEC games; they don't want a tainted product, so they minimize/ignore officiating irregularities

I don't know if anyone has already made these points, but it really makes you think about how ESPN did not have Game Day at the game (which people complained about last week BEFORE the game) AND how everyone on Game Day just went throught the motions in their picks of the game. Remember how Lee just said "LSU" like he was whispering it. There was little or no discussion -- just like the most relavent game of the week meant nothing. Maybe, because they already knew (i.e. for corrupt reasons KNEW) Albama would win and wanted to seem inconspicuous. sp? I have no proof, but it has bothered me since I saw this post and I had to reply. Just saying.
