Because they got waxed by the Gumps, who aren't very good, and the Rebs, who aren't very good. And eked out a win against Texas with a great deal of luck. If DJ hadn't gotten hurt, we had a shot at them. Then there is their QB problem. No, leghumpers aren't winning it.
Bama would probably be at least a touchdown favorite over SMU. That said if the last team out had won one more game they would be in. I just want someone to beat UGA.
How do researchers minimize bias? One way is by involving a number of inputs/sources. There are def human components associated w the BCS, but its rankings are far more objective than a singular poll or committee. I'm not necessarily making a case for the BCS, just adding context. One of the issues with the BCS would be the potential for repeat matchups. Imagine GA/TX in the first round of the playoff, due to a computerized ranking system.
All im saying is i dont see a typical favorite. The qb's aren't intimidating at all. They all seem beatable.
Well if that's what the computers come up with, I'm fine with selection committee. ND- #3? Bama 3 spots above UT who beat them? SC 4 spots above ole Miss who smoked them?
Busting the Myth that It's Hard to Beat a Team Three times in a Season Georgia's a lock. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
