so a rematch is OK since your team is in it?

Doen't matter what some of the fans think,I guarantee you LSU's players are not scared.

Show me where history disagrees. I know you're not going to point to the Florida team that blew the buckeyes out. That wouldn't help your argument if you did.
In short, you are guaranteed of nothing. The voters will probably put y'all at 2. But they aren't breaking any "rules" if they don't.

Uh, no, based on what the BCS IS. The voters are SUPPOSED to be voting on the two best teams, as Cecil said.

Just b/c you or Cecil Hurt (whoever the F that is) don't think other teams have a legitimate argument to get in, doesn't mean that every voter agrees with you.

Just to play devil's advocate, who has Bama beaten, really?

Does that makes sense? You said, "I thought you were against a rematch" which implies that you know I previously said, that MY TEAM shouldn't play in a rematch. Wouldn't I have had to have said that some other team shouldn't be in a rematch for your argument to make sense?
If there were another team that looked like they might be as good as Bama, I'd say let them play, we don't deserve it, as I said previously. But now, there's not one of those teams.

The Every Other Agenda camp has two hurdles to overcome. First, the fact is the purpose of the BCS, since its inception, has been to match the two best teams in college football in a one-game championship.
Sorry, he's wrong about that... which means his entire article is baseless.
The stated purpose of the BCS is to match the two HIGHEST RANKED, not the two best. LINK
"Best" is entirely subjective. "Highest ranked" is not. Voters at their discretion can determine the highest ranked and they would not be violating any stated purpose of the BCS by giving a conference champion a shot over a team that already had theirs and didn't even win their own division.

And so far, they've all thought Bama was better than OSU. Will their "subjective opinion" suddenly change to avoid a rematch?

Every team on their schedule except the #1 ranked team in the country?

I know you think it's illegal and felonious for voters to vote that way, but it's not. That's why allowing voters to decide this is stupid in the first place.

So your argument is that voters shouldn't vote for the two best to be the two highest ranked? You think an OSU team that lost to Iowa State should be ranked ahead of Bama?

I don't really want to get into the strength of schedule stuff. If I'm not mistaken, Bama's is ranked about 4 spots below OSU's.

So your argument is that voters shouldn't vote for the two best to be the two highest ranked? You think an OSU team that lost to Iowa State should be ranked ahead of Bama?

My argument is that Cecil's stated purpose is wrong.

For weeks one through eleven? No. For purposes of the BCS Championship game, absolutely.

If you're going to make this argument, then you have to let Houston in. Are they they #2 team?
