And 4 of the 6 computers, ie the systems that look at the team's resume and not its name. The voters handed the gumps a free pass.
And it wasn't "scared of Bama" on the LSU side. LSU fans resented the fact that the LOSER of the "Game of the Century" got a bye to the title game while our reward for winning was having to fight through two more tough games to get to New Orleans.
And if the B(C)S is always right as you claim, why do they have to tweak it again and again and again and again and again?

Who pushed for Bama besides Bama fans and ESPN/ABC?
I believe as Bestbank pointed out, LSU fans were more aggravated than scared. Sure most LSU fans certainly thought there was a realistic chance LSU could be beaten by Bama. But the thing is, up to 2011, the ENTIRE BCS argument was most deserving, best resume, ad nauseum. Then suddenly in 2011, the talk becomes "eyeball tests" and "best loss." I didn't see any tears shed for Michigan in 2006 in the exact same situation (actually stronger because they lost by 3 to #1 on the road.) Where was the push for Texas to go to the Big 12 title game (and eventually to the BSC title game)in 08 when they clearly had the best loss of the three Big 12 teams? In both cases, the argument against those teams was that the teams that went in over them had a better body of work.
The whole eyeball test thing just puts more subjectivity into the system.

Actually the opposite is true, the only people pushing for Bama were Bama fans and SECtards. My personal (obviously anecdotal) experience was that fans of every other team be they Big 12, B1G, Pac 12 all thought it should have been OSU.
