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

quote:

Nov. 5th was basically the NFC or AFC championship. The two clear cut best teams in the country (let's say the packers and 49ers for example) have to duke it out before the big one and as a result one gets left out of the big game. There's no doubt in my mind that Bama is second only to LSU, but until a playoff system is implemented I don't see the logic in having a rematch in the national championship, regardless of what teams are involved.

Wrong! The voting should rank teams based on how well they played. Only if they think OSU would beat Bama should they rank them higher. Anything else is biased, dishonest and contrary to the rules. You don't change the rules after the fact just because they don't favor you. The BCS NC game is a 1 game playoff. I wish it were more but it isn't. That 1 game playoff pits the best two teams in the nation, regardless of conference affiliation - PERIOD. And those teams are LSU and Bama. This is not the NFL but even in your scenario, if the loser of the packers/49ers regular season game had no other losses, they would still make the playoffs and if both continued to win, they would eventually face the team that beat them. And the winner would go on regardless of what happened in the regular season.
