why? because you say so... its not like he voted Temple ahead of them.

He put Stanford ahead of them who lost to Oregon. Its not as if he voted Okie State at 15 either.

He voted

LSU, Bama, Stanford, Okie State


very much a reasonable vote

i dont blame these guys too much because they didnt have a dog in the fight. Saban's vote was both dishonest and cheap. There is no way saban can say with a straight face on national tv that okst should be #4.

Troy Calhoun put them #5. Most had them at 3. A few had them at 2.

He wasn't going to blow his chances to become the first coach to win 3 BCS.

only if you think its "reasonable" to rank teams based on when they lost.

Stanford should not even be ahead of Oregon.

It was a dick move


But $abun is an asshat. I'm so elated that OSU destroyed OU. It exposed so many things wrong with CFB it's not even funny

Les did it so he wouldn't look like a pussy but if he was in Nick Saban's place he would have done the same.

OKST is a conference champ who just beat ou by 40. stanford could care less if they were 3rd or 4th. Saban's vote is nothing short of sabotaging OKST chances.

you are selling Les short. Les would never stoop that low. Les might be crazy at times but the dude is straight up class act.

there is a difference between promoting your team and voting them #2. but to do what saban did by voting okst 4, he's going the Tonya Harding route.
