I believe Bama is a better team than OSU

Is their resume better than OSU's? Hell no

I agree with this as well. I think that also touches on the divide between what the BCS should be looking at (btw, I don't have the answer for you) and what causes confusion/debate among voters.

In terms of resume, Remy did a good job of showing the comparison early in this thread. He also had a quote about "it not being a slam dunk" for OSU either which I'd agree with. I do think their resume is objectively better and I think it is hard for me to see a logical argument for Bama's resume being better than OSU (better, not equal to).

The "eye test" is a slam dunk for Bama over OSU and I think the majority of folks agree with that. I think thats why they ultimately get in.

I do wish there was more actual debate comparing these two teams by the national media. I mean, ESPN has an hour long BCS show and does not do an honest evaluation like Remy did for the entire time. I wish they'd at least give that 5 minutes or so. Instead, they put up the biased poll that started this thread.
