I know, that is scary. People (LSU fans) keep throwing out the 1/3 2nd place votes needed but it isn't that cut and dry. Every 2nd place vote Alabama gets OSU's chances go down. And same with every vote OSU get's at 4th or worse. And they will get some of those. It would take an absolute screwing for Alabama not to get most of the 2nd place votes.

not really. you have to think... right now Arkansas is wedged between Bama and OSU in one poll and Arkansas and Va Tech are in between in another. When LSU beats Arkansas, Oklahoma State will be right on Bama's heels and if Va Tech slips to Virginia or Clemson they'll be directly behind. Then it'll come down to whether or not voters think Alabama should get a chance to play a team they couldn't beat already over OSU who will have a conference title, tougher schedule, and hasn't played LSU. I wouldn't call that a screw job.

Absolute screwing of Alabama? You lost your chance on November 5 when you got beat at home. Consider ANY morsel of consideration for your asses backing into the BCSNC game a fricking GIFT.

Pfffft. screwing of Alabama, give me a break. And don't come back with that weak arse "what about LSU in 2007" crap.

There's a big difference from that LSU team and Alabama this year. The difference is:
1. They won their division
2. They won their conference
3. We didn't get beat by Ohio State AT HOME, and then get GIVEN a do over.
4. There was no one else (not even Georgia) who had a better resume than LSU
