You know, I hope Bama does make it in. It seems like they need this if their playoff hopes really hinge on what Fresno State does.
Don't get all jealous because Alabama has the balls to go out and schedule teams like FSU and Fresno State in the same year.

Why would I be jealous? Ohio State scheduled Oklahoma and UNLV in the same year.

How'd Fresno St let UNLV beat them?

What have they done to prove they are the best team in the country? They are solely relying on past dominance. Without the name I doubt they'd even be in the discussion right now.

The three best teams Bama played:
Double digit loss
Last second win against a 4 loss team
Outgained at home by a team that lost to Troy

This is BCS thinking. A Fresno State win is complete irrelevance for the CFP.

You don't understand... There is no thinking going on in these meetings... That's why they don't take 16 hours of deliberation like they should.

It's all a formula that the committee is using, which the people in the room are all clearly on consensus on.

Bartoo has figured out their formula, more or less, and he is using it to predict Their own rankings before they do.

This Is not opinion folks, and I hate Bama, but if Fresno State is ranked in the top 25 Tuesday, as he said in the podcast, just turn the sets off then because Bama is going to get in.

Stop thinking and start looking at how they figure these rankings so fast. They run it with a business formula just like fortune companies do.

It's so stupid that Bama now gets credit for a good Fresno State win but they get no credit for beating Florida State when everyone thought Florida State was the number two team in the country. Florida State was a big win and should still be considered a nice addition to Bama's resume particularly when you consider that FSU had Francois for the Bama game. Also FSU had a really bad year but their shittiness has been exaggerated. The computers generally say they have been about the 25th best team in the country with Blackmon at qb.
