Even if OSU was #2 in every computer, Bama was in. The Harris poll kept OSU out, not a fishy computer.

puke.

Gotta be honest, this could be the impetus needed to overhaul the BCS. Can you say Antitrust?

That's what sickens me about shite like this, though it's part of how the world works. There's no reason a system like this with so much money on the line (fairness be damned, every single thing is driven by the cash) should not have any checks and balances at all.

Voters seem to have no guidelines on how they should be voting (best team, best season, most deserving? figure it out yourself!)
Half the computers don't post how they arrived at their numbers, and shite like the Sagarin that make jumps and falls based on seemingly nothing in this reality.

I just don't get why the system would be set up this way, with ZERO fricking accountability. Unless it's the simplest answer, being that it's set up this way to allow manipulation.

If OSU would have finished #2 in 5 computers instead of only 4.
Alabama 0.938
Oklahoma State 0.937

WOW

So as far as I can tell Bama is in the national championship game because Trent Richardson juked out Ole Miss. That seems to be the only highlight they have for Bama. Which they spliced into footage of us celebrating our SEC championship. Eta: yes. I mad.

Guys. This is done
Sugar. Michigan Kstate
Rose. Wiscy Oregon
Fiesta. Okie lite and Stanford
Orange. WVU and Clemson

LSU and Bama. Been done since 2:30 eastern. Bowls and schools know.



This guy was full of shite.

How lame of an existence must it be for you to have to pretend to have inside knowledge on a message board where nobody knows who you are.

What is sad is that the words Sagarin, Wolfe and secrecy will never even be uttered on espn.


Oky St should demand an investigation. How much money are they losing not being in the NC Game?

Well any other time ESPN would be criticizing the BCS but now that Bama was given preference they are OK with it.

Amazingly, Oklahoma State picked up very little ground in the Wolfe and Sagarin ratings with a big win over a top 10 team.



Idle Bama gained nearly as many points. LSU gained 3 times as many.

Is it true that after the SEC Championship game LSU lost points and UGA gained in the SAGARIN computer?
