It's almost like Saban & the Bama brass are paying them under the table.

I could really see some voters putting Bama lower than 3 solely based on their personal views (not wanting a rematch or not winning your conference)

The ratings were HUGE for LSU vs Alabama. ESPiN wants a piece of that..

Herbie is right a/b Heisman—it's the Honey Badger. But this is a bunch of crap that Okie State doesn't get in. I am a little sick of ESPN giving Bama so much credit.

I also would like to say there aren't TWO best teams. There is ONE, and they were victorious on November 5th.

Don't know if they are paying them under the table, but I'm sure Saban is down there doing something.

The logic in this thread is wrong. ESPN has told me all day that Alabama is lock unless they decide to drop the football program tomorrow.

Personally with LSU in, I couldn't give a shite who they play. But it's just astounding to see the pundits say OSU has no shot, even though their overall body of work is better than Bama.

Alabama wasn't a consensus #2 in either poll going into this weekend.

...with Alabama sitting at home and VT getting rolled along with Oklahoma St destroying OU, they will lose a good bit of #2 votes..
