That means that all 50 states and beyond are members of the site.

Nice catch.

Stupid poll. People's opinions don't matter...

i DO get how Florida gets all the hype because of the arkansas game... what i DON"T get is all the hype somehow forming over Alabama...

i guarantee your asses that if we didn't have a 0 in the LOSS column, we wouldn't have all the negative media surrounding officiating at our games.

if this isn't about the interception (which was DEFINITELY a hard call ON the field) but still a legitimate complaint, how else have we been shown favoritism?

And currently 94% of the country says Refs favor Bama or UF in one intentionally or unintentionally. Not a very positive national perception at all.

Results FROM THE STATE OF ALABAMA
78% favor Bama intentionally
10% favor Bama unintentionally
12% no, that's ridiculous

Hmm well the national media and most of the entire country disagree with your fan base. But I'm sure everyone in the country is mistaken, it couldn't possibly be the other way around.

look the two best teams are there.The only thing that stinks about this is Slive sweeping it under the rug.It gives creditabilty to the conspricy therory,which I don't believe in.Slive is putting the SEC in a bad light with the rest of college football fans.

It mattered last Saturday.

It would have been hard for officials to make it out of BDS had they not called that interception an incomplete and LSU eventually won.

Trust me. 100,000 Bama fans, boo$ter$, CB$, and Mike $live'$ opinions mattered very recently.

Totally biased - however, perception is reality. The only people that would have taken this poll obviously hang out on the ESPN website. There has been a lot of chatter about it. If you took a totally random, scientific poll across the US, 90% of the people would ask what the hell are you talking about.

Good point. Does not matter at this point if it is or is not true, The SEC as a whole is taking a beating on this. Not just Bama or FLA.

God forbid, Bama or Fla lose the NC game, then we will really hear the bashing of this remarkable conf.
