I obviously meant the BCS


and I clearly stated human polls which most people realize means AP/Coaches polls.

quote:

The BCS standings are made up in part of voters not just computers, particulary after 2003 when media darling USC got left out


They tweeked the formula pretty much every year from 98-03 and the media poll was not used after 2003. you really need to get over your jealousy, LSU would have been in the 2003 regardless.

quote:

think a team that just lost the "game of the century", at home, should drop more than two spots in the human polls


They lost by 3 in OT, but if they should drop further, that means someone else should have been ranked higher. You can't just say, you lost you deserve to drop X number of spots. Its a ranking. The week following the 11/5 game, #5 was Boise, #6 Oregon (lost to the same team Bama did, only by a much greater margin) #7 was OU whou lost at home to a terrible TT team #8 was Arkansas who Bama beat the shite out of. So, how many of those teams should Bama have been behind?

quote:

And the only really good team Bama had beat up to that point was Arky.


Look at the schedules of the teams behind them and see who those teams beat. Hell look at #3 Stanford's schedule at that point, they only good team they beat was USC and I'd bet all kinds of money that if I was tauting USC as a good win, you'd be crying about USC being overrated and amedia darling

Get over my jealously? As I recall the computer factors favored us and/or OU over USC in 2003, and it was very close, and we and OU got in. Then the next year the computer factors were de-emphasized. I guess that was just a coincidence, huh?

Bama should've been at least behind Boise after 11/5, and possibly even Oregon who'd looked pretty damn good after we beat them. Happy now?

If you don't think the media and voters have their darlings I got news for you - you're the delusional one.
