We lost to Arkansas and dropped to 7th. Then West Virginia and Missouri lost. Georgia, Virginia Tech, and another team were also ahead of us. When it didn't look like any of those 4 teams had a chance to make the title game, it really didn't matter where they voted us. But for the final poll after the two teams lost, and they knew their vote would/could send someone to the title game, the voters compared our body of work against the others....and we jumped them.

My point is voters basically move teams up and down each week based on who wins, who loses, and who looks impressive...but when it comes to the final poll they vote for who they think should be playing for the championship. It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if Alabama holds strong where it's at, but it also wouldn't be a huge surprise if voters decide they want to vote a one loss conference champion in that spot after all the games have been played.

so many Bama fans just do not understand this concept

LSU fans lived it. We know how the voters react in the final poll.

I think a lot comes down to what human voters think- and none of us can say we know that

Some will think the Tide should be there because they are the 2nd best team- others will say they had their chance at home and someone else should get a shot

Question is who and how many think something other than Tide being in BCSNC ? that is the 64K question
