The only way the situation pans out differently is if the voters treat this like it matters. Everybody knows that the way the final BCS rankings go down is different than what happens during the season. Coaches pay attention more and tend to actually cast their ballots instead of letting the GA down the hall do it.
The coaches are accountable for their picks during the final week as opposed to the votes being anonymous throughout the season. Voters can intentionally attempt to sway the rankings based on who they believe should be in the title game. So the question is do the voters weigh what’s at stake when they cast their ballots?
If enough voters want to screw with the polls to try to bump Texas in, then we could have a very interesting situation on our hands.
On a separate note, how different is this from last year where the rankings week to week were a futile hope at guessing who would survive. There are more one loss BCS teams in the big 12 south than there were in the whole nation last season.
Unfortunately for the fans while the predicament itself lends credence to the playoff argument, the reality is that the BCS is thrilled right now. It’s a mess, and we’re all going to be watching.
