  I dont want to post this in the comments section of your articles becuase it will just get lost in the flood of insanity. There is a major point that should be obvious but no one I have read is mentioning.
  Neither OSU or Bama would have a right to be upset for a snub from the NC game. It could have gone either way and that is because neither team did what they needed to do.
  In fighting sports there is the idea that if you want to be sure of a win you better not let the fight go to a decision. Similarly if a questionable call by a ref costs you the game... you shouldn't have let the margin of victory be so close. Those losses are not the fault of the judges or the refs or voters in this case, they are the fault of the team. OSU has only themselves to blame for making BCS voters split hairs between them and Bama. All they needed to do was not to lose to a 17 point under dog with a losing conference record. Coach Gundy keeps saying they did everything they could, but they didnt even do everything they SHOULD have done.
  The same goes for Bama. If you want to win a NC you had better beat LSU in regular season or you lose control of your destiny (like what happened this year). By the way, OSU should thank Bama for dropping that game because if LSU had lost by 3 in OT no team outside of an undefeated Oklahoma would have had a chance to pass LSU and the rematch would have been certain from the very start.
  Bama gave OSU, Oklahoma, and Stanford their shots by losing, and each of those teams failed to earn an uncontested spot in the NC game. Thus the fight was allowed to go down to the decision, and no one has anyone but themselves to blame for the outcome. Next time, just win out and you wont have this problem.
  If you find this has merrit, feel free to claim it and post it becuase this concept should be given more exposure in this rabbid anti-BCS atmosphere.
