re: LSU and Florida may discontinue playing each other every year

The voters just flat-out handed the #2 ranking to Alabama when they clearly did not deserve it. That's an intentional act, which is, by definition, not a fluke. It means they will continue to do it. Saban will beg for special treatment, ESPN will champion the cause, and the voters will fall in line with it. There's nothing fluky about that. It's pure corruption, and that's not a one-year phenomenon.

I repeat, everytime I think the rant has sunk to a new level of insanity, we get new gems like this.

Alabama was not #2 in the human polls after 11/5. Had either OSU or Stanford won out, then Alabama would not have been in the BCS CG no matter how much you think ESPN likes them and Saban.

There were 3 BCS teams with 1 loss. Stanford, OSU and Alabama. Stanford's schedule was by far the worst of the 3 and they did not win their conference. They also lost by the largest margin. They have no case, so it boils down to 2 teams. OSU had a better paper resume and a case can be made that they deserved to go. But its simply ignorant and disengenious to say Alabama did not belong. The dominated 11 teams and lost in OT (that meanns after 60 minutes it was a tie) to the #1 team, they have a roster loaded with talent, they have a case to be in the game. Now did their name, coach and rep play a role in getting them in? OK, and maybe if it was Texas or OU instead of OSU, maybe that team would have been in over Bama. None of that means its corrupt or that they will not have a conference only requirement for a 4 team playoff.
