Don't know if this has been mentioned here, but Brad Edwards just said something on ESPN that I'd been thinking last night. Oklahoma State has Texas and the Big 12 to blame for their BCS snub, if you want to call it that. He said the voting was so close that a Championship Game would have made the difference for them, assuming they beat Oklahoma the week Bama beat AU and beat Kansas St in a Big 12 Championship. Political infighting in the Big 12 is the root of this. I believe this to be true, as I watched LSU leap into the BCS ahead of USC in 2004 because of the SECCG and repeat the process in 2007 WITH TWO LOSSES but a victory over TN in the SECCG.

I think Bama is deserving, BUT they should feel fortunate that the Big 12, 11, 10, 9.....is so dysfunctional. Over here in the SEC, we are just one big happy family

if the big12 had a conference championship game, we'd be looking at LSU vs Okie St.

SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN

While that all may be true.

What ESPN is really selling is....Dont blame anyone else if you dont like that the system can be manipulated.

And it was manipulated....you need only read the BCS website, look at who and how Harris and Coaches voted....and the mysterious, unpublished math in the computers.

no doubt.... if OSU curb stomped OU two weeks ago, then beat KSU (for instance) senseless this past saturday, there's little doubt they would be playing in the BCSNCG.

the big 12 should be mad that they didn't vote for a plus one when it was proposed by mike slive

Bama edged Ok State by what like 9 points? Definitely dodged a bullet. Thanks Texas!
