Where is Alabama supposed to be in the polls, with a loss?

It doesn't matter. All they need to do is win out and they'll get the bid or be playing in the 3rd place bowl.

there's no way bsu or tcu should be in of Bama. i thought they would fall 5 spots.

You're worse than a Cryami fan.

Darren that is completely unrealistic. They just lost by 14 points and didn't look good doing it.

if a couple teams remain undefeated, boise will drop due to schedule strength.

and one loss teams should be behind zero loss teams. if there's an issue with rankings, it should be with having a pre-season ranking. teams thought to be good without a single game played need only to win to remain at or near the top. however, once the computer gets involved, all bets are off.

Oregon passing Boise State in the polls was a joke of astronimical proportions. Kellen Moore was a freshman, he walks into Autszen Stadium and beats Oregon. Kellen Moore was a sophomore, Oregon goes to the blue turf and suffers a beat down of astronomical proportions. Now that Kellen Moore is a junior, people really think Oregon is better than Boise State, enough to pass them in the polls, really?? It is impossible for me to think boise wouldn't put up 45 to 55 on Oregon this year. I'm guessing Boise State number 1 has a lot to do with recent Oregon State wins over Arizona and Va Tech wins over NC State. Oregon over Boise in the polls is a disgrace however.

The entire thing is a joke. Put the 8 best teams on the field in a playoff and decide the champion on the field, plus it would make 10x the money that they are getting with the stupid BCS-bowl system.

Oh bull fucl<.

The best scenario was before this bcs glitz with no substance.

Rank them one more time after the bowls ..and that's it.Really,this stuff is nonsense.

No. Paterno has had 4 unbeaten/untied teams that weren't National Champions. It's always been a joke. Still is.

HC..there is no guarantee those teams would have made the bcs mess...especially with the inclusion of the great electronic wizz bangs who can rank one team 23rd and the same team can be ranked by another as 5th.

StatePenn was playing their usual nobody schedule back in those days.

But at least the AP schizmed off and you can still be a champion and not be in the "nc game."

Has happened.

I'd prefer 16 like in division 1-AA (or whatever they call it now), 2, and 3, but 8 is fine too. In the end, you really need to have an undefeated SEC team to not make the championship game to completely blow the system up. Not sure if that will ever happen.
