A Baman fan posted this. Very good.
"It's just not going to happen again, IMO.
People seem to forget the amazing amount of circumstances that made it possible a year ago. It wasn't some conspiracy that most college football fans seem to believe. Once we lost to LSU, our chances were done for except for the fact that the following happened:
Oklahoma State lost to a heavy underdog, Iowa State.
Oregon lost at home to USC.
Oklahoma lost to Baylor.
No one from the ACC was worth two craps.
No one from the Big Ten went undefeated, or finished with just one loss.
Alabama won out, impressively.
The chances of all of those things happening, especially each of the first three, were very remote. But somehow they all did. Should Alabama and LSU enter their game unbeaten again this year, I'm betting the loser will be out for good. Because this year, it appears you will have an unbeaten Oregon, unbeaten Florida State, and you could have an unbeaten Notre Dame, Oklahoma, or Texas. The loser of the Alabama/LSU game isn't making it past any of those teams, should they all finish undefeated. In fact, I'll bet if they have a loss, but that loss is early on in the season, the loser of the Alabama/LSU game won't pass them in the final standings.
What happened last year was a rare case. Just as what happened in 2007 was a rare case. If I'm a betting man, I bet against it happening again this season. "

Yeah I hear this a lot from Bama fans and it's bullshite.
The bottom line is at the end the voters could've put Okie in who had a better resume and was favored in the computers. Yet not only did not enough put Okie 2nd, some voted them 4th, 5th, and 6th. Can this Bama fan give me an unbiased explanation for those votes?
And if Mulligan II is so unlikely why are we already seeing this scenerio discussed this early, with multiple major teams still undefeated, and a one loss USC?
Bama clearly has an inside tract to the NC unlike any other team in the country. As EZE often says, we just need to accept it and deal with it.

Baman? Did Saban start wearing a mask and patrolling the mean streets of Tuscaloosa?

On the other hand what if LSU loses a game narrowly, before the Bama game and then beats Bama?
