No Quibbles and Bits Dept:

No complaints about this poll.

If not on the poll, then (your team is) fucking off like they should be for not even being notable enough to pass muster in one of the more negligent blogpoll votes around

(wistful sighing) over and over again.

I am no fan of the LDS, but BYU should get more love.

read it twice just to make sure georgia wasn’t in there…. fuck those guys

I think Auburn should be on the list just from having a contact buzz from being in the presence of Nick Saban’s moobs. It makes sense to me…

Orson (a shameless SEC homer) put 3 B10 team in the top 10.

As my cousins always used to say, “don’t tease me like this, daddy.”

Cincy got destroyed in the Bowl, but there were extenuating circumstances. The idea that ANY ACC team is better than them is preposterous. But, the fact that there are four ACC teams on it preps us for next year’s pre-season story line that the Big East should not be a BCS league. Come on, GaTech has quality wins over Duke and Wake Forest.

Didn’t see that coming.

I will be shocked, SHOCKED, if any Georgia fans come out of the woodwork to make seriously the argument that we belong anywhere near a top 25 poll this year.

That said, 30-24.

Just ‘cause I’m sick of all the whining about how Bama’s NC needs an asterisk, here are a couple more for the “Texas should’ve won but…” Department:

With all UT’s eggs in Colt McCoy’s basket, isn’t it a bit of a coaching faux pas to send him on a keeper right into the maw of Bama’s very physical defense?

To truly be a NC caliber team, wouldn’t it be a good idea for your offense to have TWO dimensions?

To truly be a NC caliber team, wouldn’t it be a good idea for your “No. 1 Rushing Defense” to be able to hold both Bama’s running backs to under than 100 yds?

To truly be a NC caliber team, wouldn’t it be a good idea for your offensive line to protect whoever your QB is?

To truly be a NC caliber team, wouldn’t it be a good idea for your “No. 1 Rushing Defense” to be at least slow the running back down between your goal line defense and the back of the end zone?

And I just love the Heisman form shown here:

yeah, Bama didn’t have the prettiest game what with an injured QB and some sloppy play on special teams and slumping in the 3rd Q, but they got the win by showing up with a team effort.

RTR.

What, no Georgia? Ha. Classic Mix-up.

Little weird seeing a 4 loss Nebraska team ranked ahead of a one loss Cincy team. But hey, me likey nonetheless.

Who did Texas beat as good as Oregon or TCU?

Answer: No one.

Who did Florida beat as good as ditto (looks down your list to find Cincy and LSU)?

Answer: No one.

Speaking of laughable competition.

I would also like to here the justification for VT > GT. Beating an unranked Tennessee cant be that big of a deal.

A year without Georgia, Michigan and Oklahoma in the top 25, and SC only getting to 19. It is a strange year indeed. Futures look better for Georgia and Oklahoma. Not so much for Michigan. The magic 8-ball can’t seem to find a future for SC. I think murky might describe it best. This poll looks pretty realistic to my trained but Big 10 biased eye.

Bama fans seem a little edgy

@10: I will hit an old man in public.

I’ll say. The only people I’ve heard talking about asterisks next to bama’s MNC have been bama fans. Even the insanity that is hornfans.com has a general feeling of, “Hey, we put up a good fight under difficult circumstances,” and whiners are instantly met with harsh criticism.

Funny how all the ‘Bama/SEC fans can still find something to cry about. You won the damned title and you still can’t stop whining. USC and/or someone else wins the title and y’all can’t stop finding flaws in their seasons/teams. Now that that you’re the one on top, you still can’t shut up.

Don’t you think you’d be edgy if all of the Texas fanbase said that your MNC shouldn’t count because Colt got knocked out?

I can’t get passed the " full bush firing in all directions". I get distracted so easily. BTW, congrats to all things Bama for the NC.

The Wannstach makes the Top 15….ride that, b1tches.

As has been proven at NASA and the Mayo Clinic, the National Championship is not a REAL National Championship, so what’s all the fuss. I mean, Bama gets that. They claim 23 or some such guady number of these fake things. The spirit of the NC is that it is for fun people….sheesh.

13-1 a travesty? HAH! Under the circumstances, it is an executable offense. Carlos Dunlap and Steve Addazzio, step up to the man with the axe, please.

What #s 4 and 10 said.

Welcome back to the party Bama. Go cruise the local Walmart with class and bravado.

Badgers @ 12? Aw, shucks, you make us blush.

@ 17: I truly it is a case of never being satisfied if you’re on or near the top of the BCS mountain and still find stuff to complain about when it’s all said and done. Lord, one team won it all and has their crystal trophy on display at Wally World and another has 24 recruits coming in next year or later w/their QB ascending into college football sainthood and there’s still a bone to pick w/the ‘09 season?? C’MON MAN!!

I have not yet heard it suggested that a MNC does not somehow “count” because a player on the opposing team was injured. I’m fairly sure this is a conspiracy theory concocted while waiting for a trophy-photo at Walmart.

If, however, someone DOES manage to prove that “injury invalidates a MNC win,” the 1983 Nebraska Cornhuskers will gladly take the trophy now, 26 years after Mike Rozier went down with an ankle sprain against Miami in the Orange Bowl. Just sayin’.

Don’t you dumb fucks know the the BCS trophy at Wal Mart was a Dr. Pepper promotion and that Alabama had nothing to do with the decision. The team that won the BCS this year would have displayed the trophy at Wal Mart no matter who it was.
Texas did the same thing after they won in 2005.

@9
You say the NC should have two dimensions on offense? Didn’t McElroy only pass for about 60 yards in the ncg?

1. if I recall that game, McElroy was sacked about the same number of times that he completed a pass. But ‘Bama ran it well with two different players, maybe they were ’dimensions’
