I know, it happens from time to time, as far as I'm concerned, it's unacceptable for that to happen.
Yes I still stand behind that Computer decision that has never changed not even for this...but the BCS as a whole is flawed and this should show it along with the so called over hyped rematch soon to come.
Reason for the voters giving what they deserve is cause they see how well they played on the field and I would hope most saw that instead of 38-0 yesterday they could have scored again to make it 45-0 but Beamer once again took a damn knee in the red zone with almost 2 mins left in the game.
The BCS is what it is, it apparently will take 25% of the 2nd place votes and 75% of the 3rd place votes in the Coaches poll for OSU to jump Bama. It is still a popularity contest and perception is everything.
• Wins over current BCS Top 25 teams: Oklahoma State: 5, Alabama: 2.
• Wins over current BCS Top 50 teams: Oklahoma State: 7, Alabama: 5.
• Wins over FBS teams with winning records: Oklahoma State: 6, Alabama: 3.
• Conference titles: Oklahoma State: 1, Alabama: 0.
• Wins over current BCS Top 25 teams: Oklahoma State: 5, Alabama: 2.
• Wins over current BCS Top 50 teams: Oklahoma State: 7, Alabama: 5.
• Wins over FBS teams with winning records: Oklahoma State: 6, Alabama: 3.
• Conference titles: Oklahoma State: 1, Alabama: 0.
You forgot one very important stat.
• Loss to the number 1 team in the nation: Alabama: 1, Oklahoma State: 0
• Loss to a barely bowl eligible un ranked team: Alabama: 0, Oklahoma State: 1
You have to win the easy ones or its VERY hard to come back from.
Now that said I would much rather watch LSU play anyone other then Alabama, be it OKS, Stanford, VTech anyone but Bama. Why? Because it would be better for the conference for them to prove themselves against someone other then another conference foe.. Plus I think Alabama is the only team in the nation whod have a chance of beating them. Id much rather watch LSU destroy OKS, Stanford or Vtech then watch them beat or lose to Alabama.
Sure that's not fair to Alabama who has earned there spot as number 2 in the nation. But as a nice consolation they get to go kick someone else's butt in another BCS bowl.
Didn't forgot about them, I think the performance of the entire season is more important than one week.
Now if LSU and Alabama play in the NC game does Georgia or Arkansas get the SEC automatic bid or does the SEC lose it?

They lose it. The only way they would of had three would be if say GA beats LSU and LSU falls to #2 and Alabama takes #1 then GA would get the AQ bid to the sugar bowl and alabam and lsu would play for the title.
Bama will beat LSU this time around .... Bama will be #1 and LSU fan will say, but wait, we won the 1st one, lets play again ...
Not so sure about that ... seeing they still have the ONLY 2 teams in a BSC bowl game from the same conference.
That is correct. I could quite remember how this could possibly play out, so I went and looked it up.
True, but there are certain exceptions, and Georgia winning the SEC while leaving Bama and LSU at the top two spots would be one of them.

I thought the same thing but it was posted earlier the rules that showed that there is a way that 3 could make a BCS game.
It COULD apply to any conference, but it likely never will.
That's because there is no bias FOR other conferences among voters, eh?
I was going to go with no other conference has that many top teams, but if that makes you feel better.
