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

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.
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.

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

I believe 5 out of six computer polls do not make public the formula they use. you see not everything is bama related if you are objective.
Fact This season has broken the BCS. Do not buy what ESPN is selling. WE need a playoff.

Auburn beat Clemson this year? Good try though.
