This is what I love about the rant, just when I think it can't get any more insane, we get gems like this
I didn't see anything I disagreed with in the part of his post you quoted. Are you saying it's insane to believe that Alabama didn't deserve to be in the NC game but was given their slot because of their media appeal? Because that's basically what he said, and it's 100% dead-on accurate.

So you think peopke consciously decided to put Bama in because they would be a better draw? Forget the fact that the great majority of voters in the BCS formula had zeeo stake in the ESPN ratings, that makes more sense to you than people simply thinking Bama was better than same-record Oklahoma State? Im sure Bama and Saban's reputation played a subconscious role in that conclusion. But guess what? That was the right conclusion.

Whether they deserved it or not is subjective and while media fawning over Saban and Bama as well as the name brand recognizition plays some role, it was not done with the express purpose of promoting Bama over Ok State because the like Bama better. They thought Bama was a better team and that's not unreasonable.
The notion that ESPN will stop the BCS from having a conference winners only playoff because they don't want to keep certain teams, like 2011 Bama out is whats insane.
