    Well, Bama and Arkansas should have been eliminated for losing to LSU. If you can't win your division or your conference, you have no business in the final four.

    At the bare minimum, win your own division.

    Says the Bama team that beat our ass....

    You are kidding yourself if you still do not give that Bama team respect.


    Make no mistake about it, the ball bounced our way in their house..

    The ball bounced their way plenty of times in that game, you don't get credit for woulda, coulda, shoulda. You make your own breaks.

    I give respect to the Bama team, but not to the BCS formula if 3 teams from the same division can rank 123 nationally.

    Exactly. Like I said, if that were to be the FINAL poll in a 4-team playoff, everyone would go apeshit. Of course, no conference could pull it off except for the SEC.

    ...mumble

    ....Another BCS meeting is set for next week in Chicago, while the presidential oversight committee will meet June 26 in Washington. So who exactly is on this oversight committee, and what is its charge? This is from the BCS website:

    The conference commissioners and the Notre Dame athletics director make decisions regarding all BCS issues, in consultation with an athletics directors advisory group and subject to the approval of a presidential oversight committee whose members represent all 120 Football Bowl Subdivision programs.

    ----------------

    It's amazing to me,.. Notre Dame has so much sway, that they have a seat at the table.

    Yep, especially when they refuse to join one of the major conferences. They have a better chance of getting in as an independent. They haven't been consistently relevant in football since *gulp* Granny Holtz, but that was only about 5 or 6 years before that went downhill.

    Why do no other independents get invited to these meetings? Is it the "good ole boy" system when they hit a round of golf?

    As much as I despise Notre Dame, I can't help but admit a strong Notre Dame team is good for college football.

    As to their vote in this matter? I suspect it'll fall in line with the SEC and Big 12's votes. It's their "in" for the playoff's.
