Easy rowdy. I think you took the word "trashing" a little too strongly. This is just talk. I know you've been a very open-minded fan and not a flamer.

Hell up until today, I thought the computers were better, but with Sagarin's Secret Sauce formula having LSU drop and Georgia gain points after the game yesterday, I have no idea why this system sucks so bad.


Sagarin is based solely on first-half first downs.

I'm surprised they released the votes. I was under the impression that they had changed the rules and stated they'd no longer release the votes.

You can see the BS in the votes, particularly Saban's (but not surprising from that POS excuse for a human being), but he's a Bammer and it's to be expected.

Props to them for releasing though. Now the Harris should publish their voters' ballots, and the algorithms for the computers which seem to be corrupt need to be released too.

Coaches shouldn't have votes. It's too corrupt with that.

Either way, I'm ready for LSU to wipe the floor with Bama.

I understand why he did it, but he's wrong. I don't think he's a POS or it's because he's a Bammer. It's disrespectful to OSU for sure.

This still pisses me off more than anything. How can we have a system in place with no oversight? It really makes no sense.

For the most part the votes looked pretty consistent with it either being an LSU, Bama, OSU, or two and three spots reversed. Still, what would we all be sitting here yapping about if some of those idiot coaches that voted OSU 5th, voted Bama 5th? I'd be just as pissed because it was stupid and shady as hell.

That's why I'd rather a committee that has a representative from each conference to vote. Each conference should have an equal vote when determining the NC game participants and they should be held accountable.

I hate Bama. I always have. I also don't think they deserve to be in the NC game, but they are and that's how the flawed system worked, but there should be a system with complete accountability. 1 Rep per conference and an RPI like system with no value given to playing non-FBS teams.

I am somfriggin happy OSU blew the doors off OU. It is exposing to the entire country the media Bama bias.....the partiality shown to $a bun, and how pathetic Bama fans in general are.

Now LSU can correct it's mistakes of the first game and stomp a mud hole in some gump arse.

I digress. Stanford did lose to Oregon but beat USC. They only have one loss too. You can say it's personal interest all you want, but on the other hand, there's not a good case to jump a great Stanford team except to play into the bias. Great reason to LSU, shitty reason in fairness and sportsmanship.


Get over it. Your coach is a piece of trash

Just as I understand you're trashing him for not going with the anti-bama bias.

Voting Alabama 2, Oklahoma State 3, and Stanford 4 is not anti Bama bias.

Mark Richt seems to be the most spot on voter of the SEC coaches.

By the way, for you guys that didn't want to play us again go see how Les voted

Just to set you and your 53 posts straight, it wasn't a matter of not wanting to play Bama again, or being afraid to, it was a matter of Bama not deserving to play us again... ..go to the Bama boards..

Any idea how many points a #1 vote, #2 vote, etc gets? What would have the outcome have been had the 5 that voted OSU #4 and one #5 had voted them #3?
