They picked the top 4-teams in the Country period end of story.............

Yup. The best 4. Sorry if it hurts, Maggie. Gotta play tougher to get that love. To me, the biggest upset last week was GA whoopin' up on Auburn. Auburn had been playin' lights out. tOSU beating us really wasn't an upset. Good test for a young team, though. Our best days area ahead.

I am a little surprised by the geographic bias as to where the committee members come from - all southern/eastern folks (which explains some of the decision making). I would have thought the west coast and northern part of the country would have insisted on having a representative on the committee. One would like to think that this committee could operate without a bias, but...if all you hear is how great a local team is and they are whuppin' up on local folks then no one should be overly surprised by their sincere bias toward a team with which they are familiar.

Barry was one of only 3 from the north before he retired from the Committee, there are only 2 left from the north, ORE and EMich  thats it     GO FIGURE 

[bigG]

I think even Barry would have to vote for the two southerners to go. Can't use record as his logic.
