ABC has been this way from day one From the moment the BCS standings are released, ABC uses those as its official top 25 rankings. So they've been right all along. And for them not to have fun with the controversy and market it would be just plain stupid. They are a business and are going to make a fortune off of two highly rated college football games. I sure as heck would do the exact same thing if I had some way to make money off this -- even as a devout Tiger fan!
OJ must be contacting some friends at ABC. I think thier scared of him since he got away with murder twice already.
Your last sentence should end with something like: "by the USA Today / ESPN Coaches poll, by contract". ABC has no such contract with the AP. ABC is just doing their job. Which is to promote and sell advertising for ANY ABC game.
