To pick Oklahoma over Oregon to play Alabama in the Sugar Bowl is as preposterous and as much of an outrage as Stanford being ranked behind Michigan State.  I hate Oregon, but the Pac-12 deserves the right, and frankly, College Football needs a Pac-12/SEC matchup in the post season to allow the Pac-12 to shed the ridiculous bias it faces from the college football poll voters.  Oklahoma will get smoked by Alabama.  Oregon and Alabama would be a great game.

A part of me agrees, but another part really worries about giving the D.ucks the opportunity to disgrace themselves -- and, more importantly [since I'm okay with seeing THEM disgraced] the PAC-12 by extension-- by simply phoning it in [DAT: "...it's like whatever..." ] -- and getting walloped by the Tide.  Of course, I'm sure somewhere in Eugene there's a mini-run this morning on those leftover "We Want Bama" shirts.

As for media bias, OF, you obviously weren't aware that if you even whisper that phrase, anywhere in the world, you will instantly bring down upon your head the wrath of garvin.

Personally, I'm pretty comfortable with the bias I expect Condi, Ty.rone, and Andrew's dad will bring to the table...

One other thing [if it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere]:  Did anyone else watching the Baylor game yesterday have a brief moment of disorientation at the end when they showed the Fiesta Bowl guy on the sideline standing next to... [hey! I recognize that guy!]... (Big-12 commissioner) Bob Bowlsby?
