I was shocked to see the OSU-OU score. I figured it be a lot closer, and that OU would have put up more points than they did. Most teams considered it a "defensive effort" if they only allowed the Sooners 21. With that said, I wouldn't mind seeing LSU play OSU in the Nat'l Title. What team could say they played the champs in half of the BCS conferences?

Gap between 2 and 3 is small too (1,399 points to 1,367)

The USA Today article regarding their poll made it sound like this will be enough to guarantee Alabama, but don't the computers LOVE OSU/Big 12 this year?

It'll be a fraud if its Alabama LSU in the title game. I won't even watch and I usually enjoy watching the NCG.

I don't know how many decimal places they would extend it out to, but some experts have said this will be the closest ever.

If it is Alabama/lsu....I won't watch. That game was played and it was boring and sloppy the first time.

I knew it was going to be close, but I thought the percentage margin was a little bigger just glancing at the Coaches Poll numbers. If any of those computer projections is wrong by one spot, it could swing Ok State's way.

Thank God there will be quality basketball on to watch.

Just checked, Kentucky plays on the 7th and the 11th, so your bandwaggoning ass won't implode.

I'd much rather play checkers than watch two hapless offenses miss field goals for 3 hours.
