This is where I’m glad that we’re not voting for who belongs in the BCS Championship Game. Alabama is the 2nd best team in the country, but they had their shot (at home) so I would like LSU to play somebody else for the title.

BCS poll came out and Bama only fell one spot to #2. Stanford and Boise are still behind Bama.

I wonder if Stanford wins the rest of their games whether it can move pass Bama. Their SoS will get stronger with Oregon, Notre Dame, and the PAC-12 Championship game.

Bama SOS will only go up merginally with MSU, Auburn and random Cupcake.

Stanford is getting hammered be the computers, probably do to their SoS. Ranked 5,3,6,10,8,8.

Oregon does not have much respect either in the computer polls

ESPN Summary

Both LSU and Okie State are Ranked #1 in three computer polls, and ranked #2 in the other 3 polls. Split decision. OK state doesn’t have any cupcakes left like LSU, but LSU has an extra game so that should even out.

    Stanford is on a 17 game winning streak, longest in the nation (yes, longer than LSU and Boise State). They have the consensus #1 draft pick at QB. Yet because of some garbage computer algorithms some random people wrote, we are supposed to believe they don’t deserve to be #2 or #1?

Alabama didn’t impress me against LSU. Oregon played LSU in Texas (a long trip for Oregon), while Alabama had a home game. Alabama’s offense is pretty pathetic.
