re: Is Oregon's arguement better than Bama's?

At the end of the season, I doubt Penn State is still ranked (I think they lose the next three games), and I also think Arkansas will be ranked around 10-11.

The most impressive wins Alabama will have (in my scenario) is a win over 10-2 Arkansas and unranked Auburn (who will have 4 or 5 losses) and Penn State.

Oregon would have a win over a one-loss Stanford ranked in the top 10 (assuming, in this scenario, that Oregon beats Stanford).

But... this only takes into account the strength of schedule. I think most voters would give Bama the benefit of the doubt over Oregon if it comes down to those two teams.

But... I think the voters give a one-loss Oklahoma with a win over a one-loss Oklahoma State the benefit over Bama...

just my relativetly worthless two cents.
