Congratulations on winning the national title, Tigers.

The entire country other than LSU and OU viewed 2003 USC's "split title" as completely legitimate. Even if Alabama somehow beats LSU in the Superdome where LSU is unbeatable, there will be but one champion: LSU ... because the BCS just signed its own death warrant tonight with Alabama and Virginia Tech.

What happened that weekend that OSU was off to hurt their score so badly.


My guess is that LSU beating Arky helped Bama.

I was completely dumb to this until this weekend. No oversight at all. WTF

Count me in on that too.

It is inconceivable to me that anyone - certainly not a whole national organization - would just say ==> ok run your software and give me a number = I don't care what software you run. I will bet my reputation on its accuracy.

So what happens if Sagarin or Wolfe's stats are found to be faulty?

Sagarin should have to release his formula. Based on the numbers, it makes no sense for Alabama to be #2, especially considering OU is still #6.

There's no way they can be found faulty, because they don't release their algorithms.

MY PROJECTION:

Alabama: .9415
OSU: .9369

Alabama will win the Wolfe by a nearly negligible margin. That will be the difference.

Sounds like the difference is also Sagarin's bullshite then as well.

eta: And if the rumor is true that Sagarin is getting ejected from being part of the BCS computer score, what's to stop him from pulling some bullshite with the numbers to get the matchup most think will blow things up the most?
