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

Yep. Insane.

Sagarin and Wolfe need to be questioned about how this was even possible. I don't care about the rematch or who benefited from this screwy system, but this is messed up. That and people like Patrick Stevens that voted but didn't even watch the damn games.

It was interesting how Robert Smith, probably the least liked by most LSU fans, actually was the only one a tiny bit critical of the OSU snub. That is another strange side effect of this whole BCS nonsense.

The only good thing about this entire mess is that it may help result in the quicker dismantling of the outmoded, ineffective and dumb BCS rating system.

I'm not calling anyone a liar but I have to see this to believe it.... I will lose what little respect I have, which isn't much, for this "system" which we go by.

Well it was posted by multiple people, but I never actually looked hard at the numbers. I would love to see it as well. Maybe when some of the other guys wake up, they'll post something about it.

We all know what would of happened if Alabama was left out ------> BAMA fans would of never let it go, saying how they would of won and 'what not'

I was hoping for OSU, i admit. BUT NOW...I CANT WAIT FOR OUR LSU TIGERS TO SHUT UP THAT ALABAMA MOUTH. Not only did we stop them from becoming SEC WEST CHAMPS, but LSU is going to stop them from becoming NATIONAL CHAMPS. The second win will be much much sweeter.

i for one will NEVER forget that, and look forward to reminding BAMA fans about it frequently

-Good thread, may read again.
- BCS got it right, two best teams playing. This has been a lock since OSU lost, assuming Bama beat au.
- People whine each year about the BCS, it's not going anywhere. 2004 had three teams undefeated, all conference champs from the three best conferences. Only two got to play. What happened to all the outrage then, when did the BCS blow up? It didn't and it will not now.
- Winner of this game gets AP trophy, there will be no split title. Another lock.

Current Sagarin

As you can see here LSU is a 108.06

Now I couldn't find the webpage from the previous week, since it updates rather than allowing you to select the week. However here is a link to where someone posted the numbers on 11/27

LSU Is 108.46

As you can see we went down with a win.

Guys we need to e-mail and tweet national sports shows to mention this craziness. Twitter is blocked at my work, but someone needs to put something together to link this. The public needs to know about the illogical nature of what is deciding these matchups.

I need help with my argument that I am sending to some of these shows.

Can someone please provide me OSU's ELO CHESS from 11/20? Thanks.
