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

The purpose of the BCS is NOT to match the two best teams. It is simply to match #1 vs #2. It uses a system of polls and computers to determine who those should be and is weighted more towards the human polls. Therefore, it is up to who the humans want to rate as #1 and #2 and thus meet in the National Championship game. If the the polls believe that Blama got their shot and don't deserve another one and rate someone else #2 then the system worked. If Blama gets ranked #1 or #2 then it worked. It always works for what it is stated to be: #1 vs #2. It is based on opinion and preference - that is all.

Thank you. This is what I was saying earlier. Perhaps the way to state it is the BCS process selects the two most "deserving" teams to play in the BCSNCG. Many times in a playoff Team A is upset by Team B, although the consensus is that Team A is a better team. However, although not as strong of a team, Team B "earned" the right to move on.

I think this year you can make a case that a one loss team, other than Alabama, is more deserving if it won its conference and has not lost to LSU already.
