How the phuck does a Harris Poll voter swap his vote from LSU to Bama when both are on a bye? They need to strip that person of his vote.
I happen to believe that too many people will not want to see Oregon rematched against LSU or possibly the SEC in general for the BCS title game. Oregon has gone up against the SEC big dogs twice now and lost. Too many forces in play will not want to see that again, right or wrong. Oregon's best shot at getting back to the BCSNCG is to face a non-SEC opponent.
And this is true as well, again, right or wrong. Oregon, previously, couldn't beat a similar BSU team. This could be enough to give BSU a shot if it came down to BSU or Oregon as the other BCSNCG entrant.
and if this is the overriding sentiment, then this is Boise State's best shot at finally getting to the promised land Now they just need Oklahoma State to lose pretty much
It's a matter of the next best team and they are it. You could obviously argue Nebraska, but that team isn't any more attractive than Arkansas. South Carolina. No. Virginia Tech. No.
