The question is.. do you give the benefit of the doubt to a 1-loss team with 6 wins over ranked opponents, or a 1-loss SEC runner up with 2 wins over ranked opponents?
I think one thing many aren't taking into account is the common opponents LSU and Bama have faced. Admittedly, LSU has had a tougher schedule, but against common opponents the scores have been almost identical.
I'm not saying it's right, but when people see LSU manhandle a team like Oregon and a good/decent team like WVU, they ASSUME Bama would do the same to those teams as well. Because of the OT finish and the blowouts against common opponents.
Again, not saying that's the way it should be, but these two teams are so similar, that by LSU blowing out good teams, Bama benefits as well.
So here's to the 2011 LSU Tigers, helping Bama to the BCSNCG by blowing everyone else out but us!
Thank you TIGERS!!

They have been almost identical.
Oklahoma St (if by some miracle they beat OU) will have played and beaten three times the amount of ranked teams that Alabama has. That's impressive to me. Alabama beating up on teams like Florida, Auburn, and Penn St.. is not.

As well as the fact that if you are a team that was unfortunate enough to have BAMA and LSU on your schedule, what would your ranking and record be if instead of having to play #1 and #2 you got to play #24 and #25.
