Title: Never thought I'd say this...

Thank you David Housel.  Housel, the beloved former Barnie AD votes in the Harris Poll and voted Bama 2nd and OSU 3rd.  Also, Charlie Trotman, former AU QB voted Bama 2nd and OSU 3rd also.

I saw Missouri's coach broke ranks with the rest of the Big12 and had Bama #2.  Tubbs had Bama at 3.

I noticed that too. I was under the impression that the Coach's Poll was closer than it really was. Alabama was really an overwhelming #2.

Doug Marrone had OSU #4 and Troy Calhoun had them #5.

Yep, the coaches had Bama #2.  The computers loved OkSU, which was where the problems could have come from.

Coomputers give a good bit of objective weighting to strength of schedule measures.  Our sched was weak this year with FL and Tenn having very 'off' years.

Thanks to the Aubs who finally got it right.

BTW, I'm sick of these idiots who keep talking about Bama beating weak teams.  Florida is given as an example.  This morning I heard, "Alabama beat a Florida team that played their 3rd-team QB."  First, I think he was confusing LSU and Alabama.  Second, no kidding.  It was because Alabama put the 1st two out.  Alabama had a run of several games with QBs knocked out of the game.

And Florida's record for the year sucked, in part, because Alabama punished them and destroyed their QB fleet.  >:(
