re: The way the voters should view the Alabama rematch situation

Funny to hear Lil' Nicky trotting out the "unbeaten in regulation" argument. Problem is, Gundy can say the same thing. Only it was on the road, and he has more wins over ranked teams and, possibly, a conference championship in an arguably tougher conference.
If OSU wins, the voters will have lots to think about next Saturday night. And Gundy will get to make the closing argument on College Football Final while Lil' Nicky sits at home.

If the current push from ESPN that "Blama is in" continues then it is a done deal. Voters seem to be unduly influenced by the talking heads.

According to the computers, it is.

One thing people need to realize about the SEC Championship game is that it is about making money and nothing else. It was added in purely as a marketing and money making aspect of the conference. It's not about determining the best team in the conference.
Just like in Basketball, you can name an SEC regular season championship, but the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament comes from the SEC tournament.
In the end, the BCS is about putting a matchup of two teams that have earned it, not who people think are the 2 best teams. For example, in 2007, OSU earned it by being the 1 loss BCS champ that was available. LSU earned its spot because of their resume, particularly their wins, not their losses.
I am personally hoping the coaches and harris poll voters see the light and vote on the best resume if OSU wins against OU. They'll have better wins across the board and also lost in OT but on the road in extenuating circumstances as well as won their conference.
Bama has only beaten 3 teams with winning records all year, and only 5 that are bowl eligible. OSU has beaten 7 right now and would've beaten 8 with a win over OU (7 with winning records).
