i realize most bama fans simply regurgitate their coach and/or Ad spin and in this case espn as well.

It seems to me that now that bama is in the game they could set aside their bias and see it for what it is. Manipulation.

Show me where it says the 2 best teams are matched in the NC game. You may believe thats the way it should be but no where on the BCS site is it written. FACT

The Sagarin Poll cannot be explained and its math is not published. So is the case with several of the other compute polls.

The voting in the Harris and Coaches is self explanatory.

Sorry Folks, I call it like i see it and so do many others. it is what it is.

Furthermore Never again should any of us in CFB ever have to hear...."Regular season matters" (which is in the BCS site folks)..."Entire body of work". We should now be reduced to the quality of a loss.

Anyone saying Saban is responsible, is an idiot. No need to defend our coach, program, or players. They can only do what the system allows.

That's a bias. To say it's manipulation just because it didn't go the way a lot of people wanted. Especially LSU fans.

Several? Only 2 kept Alabama at #2. Those can be explained by the same concept and argument that boosted the Big 12. South Carolina and Auburn are both mid-tier SEC teams that beat the eventual ACC champ. It boosted the SEC ratings higer in those two computers. Not to mention other games. It's not just who wins but also who loses, who lost to who, and a 1000 other factors.

No we shall now be reduced to counting wins over Sunbelt and Conf USA teams. Because that is what OSU is hanging their head on as part of their body of work and you think. I guess next you will want those 2 conferences to get automatic bids.
