If so, here's a little tidbit on info on games away from Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge. Alabama played 5 of 12 games away from home. (5-0) LSU played 7 of 13 games away from home.

Come on Kyle damn. I do appreaciate all the number crunching though. He understands all this chit better than most of us
I agree. Gave cover to those not wanting to see OSU in the big game by keeping an idle Stanford in front of them. I can hear it now, "I couldn't penalize a quality Stanford team just because they were idle". It's kind of funny in that they are so good, they aren't even going to the Rose Bowl. Oregon, which took on a much tougher schedule, got a mixed bag of rewards this year. Glad they are in the Rose and not Stanford.
