when voters decided that LSU and tOSU were the right two teams to play for the title. Wether you agree with that decision or not, you can't argue that it was the simple result of moving teams up one slot automatically.


I a talking PRE-SEASON...last year the movement was a result of all the upsets with some of "their darlings", I am not sure that they had that many choices. I guess until there is a playoff system, no clear choice will emerge.
I may be wrong, but I believe that some of the decisions (IF AN OBVIOUS ONE DOES NOT EXIST) and they can justify theirs, is partially done on the potential size of the national viewing audience for the Championship game.

Great day to all of you...gotta go.

BTW..nice to talk to people with ideas w/out insults

Why would the coaches care about the potential viewing audience for the title game? I think Oswald acted alone; there's no rankings conspiracy. Rather, inane rankings have historically been the result of laziness and lack of attention (Michigan up one notch, check; Notre Dame up one notch, check, etc.) Now there are more eyes than ever on the polls, and I think those days are ending. Heck, Spurrier can't even vote for Duke anymore.
