So they bump off the team that played in the highest rated game?


#1 was Florida vs Alabama so they got a bump from both teams. #2 was Texas vs Texas Tech so they probably got the majority of that bump from Texas. As for actual football Alabama > Texas but it is reversed when it comes to marketing.

Texas has been #1 in marketing for the last decade or so. Tide was #2 but they have been hot lately, while Texas has been in the dump for the past several years. As for BCs ratings LINK

2005 Texas vs Southern Cal drew 21.7 rating (highest in BCS history)
2009 Texas vs Alabama drew 17.2

Texas probably has more bandwagon folks than Alabama across the country. Seems like I see Texas gear more on the west coast than I see Bama gear.

At what part do you clowns not get its a national champion not the 4 best teams.

Win your conference is going to be 1st criteria.

Now with that said what makes the SEC cannibalization any different than the PAC, B1G, or Big XII

Notre Dame wins out they're in and deservedly so.
