🏈 The anti-Bama campaign is alive and kicking tonight....

[BamaCore]

how pathetic. they should be forced to send that out with the auburn logo at the top or the whole thing in orange and blue, just so people who receive it can go ahead and realize what they're dealing with. i love how they threw in a column for stanford for good measure, to keep from seeming totally on the fringe, yet proceeded to put a bunch of ridiculous anti-bama quotes around the sides :lance: i especially love the "wins over bowl-bound teams with winning records" column... haha! tulsa and louisiana-lafayette... niiice.

That was made by OSU media relations worker Gavin Lang, not Auburn fans.

Woah, wait, are these projections? Are the votes already in or something?

It's CBS's (Really Jerry Palm's) computer projections.

The Sagarin computer poll has already come out and we're 2nd. Looking good so far.

There is nothing we can do. If it happens it happens. At least we Donkey Stomped the Barn! (sorry duder and foshman )

And we brought your SOS down!

Brad Edwards saying there will be "drama" tonight.

Bama still probably squeaks in by a razor thin margin but it may end up being way closer than some of you are implying.

Bama is a better team than OSU but don't be shocked if you guys end up in the Sugar

 

[bear facts]

if we get screwed out of this, what action do we take?

Go undefeated next season.

 

[Nothing_But_A_Winner00]

No doubt. The team can blame themselves if they get left out.

I'm mixed on this. As a Bama fan, I want to see Alabama play for all of the marbles because I do believe they are one of the top 2. BUT, if OSU is able to jump Bama tonight, I'm not going to go out and shoot someone. In the end, Bama needed a lot of luck to even be able to get in this situation because their special teams play is probably the worst in FBS. So all the mojo that went Bama's way in the last few weeks, totally swung in OSU's favor last night with OU imploding and VT getting hammered. I'm fine with that.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Bama is one of the top two teams in the country, so they should be in

I`m with you Argo. If Bama goes I`ll be happy.but will understand if we don`t.

count me in with you. no question we are at least the number 2 team, but I won't be surprised if they put Oklahoma State in.

 

[BamaCore]

I'll go ahead and say the same as you guys. While I think Bama has earned it's rematch, I can't complain if they don't get it. I remember a few years not long ago where I would have killed to be even in Stanford's position right now. lol

It is what it is. The #2 team will play in the BCS Championship game.
The voters cast their vote however they want - with their head or their heart - their ballot, their choice.
If voters want to tamper with their ballots to 'rig' the game - then that's their right under the current system.

I would like to have a look at the software algorithm the computer polls use.
Also, is that algorithm subject to change at any time? And, if so, who makes that determination?

Agreed...whatever happens.. happens. The lesson here is take advantage of your opportunities

Here's another thing Jason.

With West Virginia and Louisville(?) losing that last weekend of the regular season—along with LSU losing to Arkansas the same weekend—LSU was able to back into the BCSNC game a few years ago.

Now, I see us in a similar situation, but not an identical situation.

I can't think of a better scenario than Bama getting a shot at LSU when they claim a title they backed into...but, under far more strange storylines.

I'm sitting here Jason...

We had our opportunity.

 

[bamajt]

Maybe a little off topic, but I think this is pretty funny. Under logic, look at all 3 options for Okie St. being better. Make sure to read them through. Then flip for why Bama is better. I got a laugh anyways.

[CrimsonFlame]

Haha... Thats good stuff.....worthless but funny! Just think some Poke fan or other is using this as a real argument somewhere.

 

[parrotdr]

Wait, I'm confused...in light of all this uncertainty, you Alabama fans are actually exhibiting logic and reason, along with goodwill towards your fellow men in Stillwater. Wow!

Just kidding....I don't think the Tiger boards would be quite so understanding!

Good luck and hope to see you in New Orleans--the ultimate cementation of the SEC as the king--two teams from the same division playing for it all!
