Do you honestly think they are not better than all the other teams? And further, do you not acknowledge the system in place - known to all at the beginning of the year - is very clearly that #1 plays #2?

Everybody keeps saying this but humans decide who #2 is so why do they keep saying this?

The computers will vote OSU #2 by weeks end if they beat OU? Why? Because they have a tougher schedule and have the same record as the team with a weaker one.

I don't get that arguement?

Yes the BCS was created to pit 1 vs 2 but 2/3's of the damn formula is done by HUMANS.

In reality, we don't know how good OSU is until they play us.

Remember the huge spread OSU had on Florida in the 2006 championship? Everyone who bet on florida just to cover was at the bank by halftime.

Projections are just projections. anything can happen on the field.

Yes I THINK Alabama is better than OSU. But in reality, it's just a thought.

If OSU beats LSU in Nola, they have the full right to be unanimous national champions.

If Bama beats LSU in Nola, I guess they have showed that they are at least equal to LSU? They could be better?

Bottom line, if someone else has an argument, you have to go with them.

That being said, if OSU loses to OU, no one else would have an argument. Bama would 100% deserve a rematch (not in reality, but based on how our system operates).

for someone who crusades against innate human bias as much as you do, why are you knighting for Bama?

did you take the blind test on the CBS website?
