I missed the announcement


I should have been more clear and stated it this way, "And OSU lost allowing Bama to have a 90% chance of getting into the big game".

If Bama is, as so many of the experts on the Rant tell me, going to be in for a letdown when the BCS ratings come out on 12/4, then when is someone going to tell Vegas? The people who do this for a LIVING are saying it is a 90% chance of a rematch. On top of that, Vegas currently has Bama with the best odds to win it all. How are they going to win it all when, according to the Rant, they won't even be in the game?
Vegas Still Thinks Bama is in the BCSNCG Despite the opinions of experts on the Rant

BCS National Championship - Odds to Win
Bama: -110
LSU: +125
Arky: +600
OSU: +700
Everyone else is at +3000 or higher

(you'll note, they give Arkansas a better chance to get there and win than they do the team that the Rant has assured me will pass us in the ratings on 12/4)

Seriously? You are going with the "Vegas knows what the BCS is going to do" calculation for your chances? Well the Saints were fricked in 2009, LSU has been fricked in 2007, on Nov 9..... Good luck! Lay down some cash! It's a sure money maker.
