2. The two best teams already played, how do we know OSU et.al. aren't the best.
this. eyeball test is bullshite and bama had their shot.

the world swore up and down that Michigan/Ohio State were CLEARLY the best two teams in the nation after they played to a virtual standoff in 2006 and then UF ripped 15 new assholes in buckeye.

It came off as such a fix too. Okie St dominating Oklahoma and Va Tech losing to Clemson were the only two things that had to happen for Okie to have a shot and neither one were out of the realm of possibility but ESPN spent a week saying that it didn't matter. They turned gameday into a Saban/Bama infomercial and we still ended up with the closest 2/3 finish in BCS history. If they had acknowledged that Okie St had a shot from the get go then i think enough votes would have swung their way to get them into the title game.

but we'll beat the dog frick outta bama anyways so sa la vie bitches.

That's why people shouldn't listen to all of their dribble...

ESPN set the whole thing up because they knew what would get the best ratings- LSU/Bama not LSU/OSU. It was an inside job perpetuated on the American public but it was done in full view.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the closest ever. And does anyone think that MAYBE ESPN had guys that knew how the BCS would shake out? And thus reported what they thought? Until OSU beat the shite out of Oklahoma and VT lost it looked like they had a very slim chance of making it. Once that happened ESPN said it would be very close. Wtf are people complaining about? Saban has been on espn many times. It wasn't just to get Alabama in the big dance.
