With such a terrible schedule (SOS is a factor in some of these computer rankings), I can't believe they could post such a high ranking! Number 1 in all but 1 computer (which has them at #2)

I am curious who won that game that is your sig coyote. Looks like significant time on the clock. Is the player your son or brother?

Wrong.

Who gives a shite board

Bama self reach around board

Bama torn meniscus from patting selves on back board

Bama our lives depend on Gumpballl board

Anyone one of those would be more appropriate

Their SOS isn't terrible. Every reasonable fan knows this. You're letting the LSU and Auburn fans troll you into the exact reaction they want.

That said, the computers are only 1/3rd of the equation, there are multiple (six minus the two outliers) computer polls combined into that, and SOS is only a part of each of those. The single biggest factor by far are two human polls (Harris/Coaches) at 1/3rd apiece to equal 2/3rds, and, with a few notable exceptions, the Harris and Coaches polls don't generally vary wildly between them. So Bama being so high isn't a validation of their SOS so much as an inevitability due to their recent success.

It's 2 minutes and 28 seconds left in the Texas A&M game that Bama won earlier this year.

The player is not my son or brother, it just looked pretty good when he lifted his arms like that with the score right beneath him.

While this is true, I was specifically talking about their computer rankings which don't have human weights. They rank SOS, win-loss, and multiple other factors besides the "eye test".

Ah. I was thinking the .990 was their BCS ranking (it's actually .9962) and you'd misspoken. My mistake.
