    Both of those would be good. As a LSU homer, Jerry Stovall would be good. He's a high charactor guy, too

    I certainly wondered why you brought him up...but don't know enough about him to say it was a bad suggestion.

    Those I've mentioned Larry Kehres have, more often than not, said "who the hell is that?"

    Archie despises LSU. It goes way back to the Ole Miss days when LSU and Ole Miss were huge rivals. The 61-17 drubbing Archie took in 1970 pretty much sealed it.

    More fodder for all who speculate there is no selection committee without bias and prejudice. It is the human frailty. Count me in.

    I don't really have any names to add to the potential unbiased candidates for the selection committee. But I really hope there is accountability showing how each of them voted for the final 4.

    I like Archie as a person, and the Manning's overall.
    I love LSU.
    Archie absolutely hates LSU. This is well known in N.O., and BR, i.e. non-Gumpland.
    Archie would be a great choice and a terrible choice all rolled in to one. He's experienced enough, is seemingly a great evaluator, but his allegiance to Ole Miss and hate for LSU would delude his objectivity.
    BCS top 4 would be best.

    NO! NO! NO!

    1/3 of the BCS rankings is the Coaches POLL. Do you really like this?

    1/3 of the BCS rankings is the Harris Interactive POLL.

    Who knows who the Harris Pollsters are. You could be one.
    Follow this link and become one.

    http://www.harrispollonline.com/

    1/3 of the BCS rankings are an average of 7 or 8 computer polls. Sagarin is one.

    I have to run I'll expand on this later.

    That doesn't apply to their football poll.

    The Harris poll voters where comprised of people nominated by the 11 conferences plus the independents.
