Have seen 2 Harris Poll Voters release their ballots and reasoning on twitter:
Wish more voters would tweet their votes and reasoning.

And it's an opinion, not a fact.
A rematch such as this should be avoided at all costs!
Same conference
one is champ, one is not.
Champ versus champ = lsu vs. osu

The problem is that these are all media guys. They want as much controversy as possible, that's what sells.

seriously the system is NOT designed for a rematch from the same conference
It's stupid if you think about it...
What was purpose of the regular season and SECCG?
To declare the winner from that conference...
not provide 2 good teams in the National Championship...It's not national when you keep it in the SEC

A team that just lost to a 6 and 6 team shouldnt even be in consideration, such a fraud. The discussion should be between Bama, Oregon, and Stanford.

A team that's had their chance at home and didn't even win their division in the conference has no business being considered. Bama is the fraud here and their creampuff schedule

A team that couldn't even take care of business at home, didn't win its conference (let alone division) shouldn't be in consideration. But keep hanging your hat on that LSU loss at home.
ALABAMA: Where our losses are better than yours.

Both seemed to do some real analytical evaluation.

Is that why the specifically put the "3 teams from 1 conference" clause in?

Wonder who this guy picked when it was OU vs FSU, Miami vs OSU, LSU vs OU, UT vs USC, LSU vs OSU, etc.?
These "experts" are not so expert at picking the best team even when it comes down to only 2. Their opinions are basically worthless.

I can't wait to see your meltdown when we get in.

I'm all about winning against whoever we play, it just seems as if Bama makes it and wins it will spoil the whole thing.
Making LSU go through more, only to be snipped by the (Media Dream Team) that got an extra try and was allowed to play LSU again.
Whatever, it's not worth talking about until we find out the rankings, and even then what's done is done. We'll just have to roll with it.
