The Coaches Poll is what got US the split. In fact, many have argued, had it not been for the agreement with the BCS that we may not have gotten it. That's so long ago though, I've said more about that than I care to. You all feel free to question polls. Bottom line is if we take care of OUR business, we'll be fine. His antics and personality aside, Saban is hands down the best coach in college football.
If it weren't for the agreed-upon playoff format, I would argue that the BCS should be abandoned anyway and replaced with a weighted average of the AP and USAT/Coaches poll. The entire point of including a computer component was to mitigate human bias. When the computers gave the humans a result they didn't like (USC '03), they decided to reweight the computers 1/3 and the humans 2/3. With Okie State's final lead in the computers, the human voters decided to marginalize OSU to arrive at their desired result. If the humans are simply going to ignore what the computers spit out when they don't like it, then what's the point of having them in the first place?
I still prefer Miles. I might be wrong but I think he's a better coach, and actually cares about his kids.
Well, it is harder to cram a piece of software up Nick's backside than a sports writer's head. If computer geeks made that much money just writing code for a living I could buy and sell Bill Gates ten times over.

. Tusk, come on, you act like a complete mongoloid retard over and over and over, and you think you are serving Alabama"s image well? We all know that Alabama fans are the most embarrassing fans in the SEC, but you are setting a new low. You've been beating your chest over and over about how playing and beating #19 Michigan is something great ("gigantic" as you just said). I honestly can't believe you seriously think that. pull yourself together. now if a D-3 school beat #19 that might be as special as you are making it sound for Bama, but Bama beating #19 is gigantic to you? seriously? quit embarrassing yourself, Bama, the SEC, and the rest of us ... please
