Title: "No. 2 Alabama has healthy lead over Oklahoma State in BCS standings" Post by: Chechem on November 28, 2011, 05:37:09 AM Quote AUBURN — “LSU, LSU, LSU.” The three letters echoed through the emptying Jordan-Hare Stadium early Saturday evening. Having just avenged its worst defeat in Iron Bowl history, the few thousand Alabama fans quickly changed gears. That 42-14 pounding of Auburn, paired with a string of unlikely upsets elsewhere, put Alabama in familiar place under foreign circumstances. Barring another unforeseen twist in fate, the No. 2 Crimson Tide is all but assured a spot in the Jan. 9 BCS Championship Game. And that would mean a rematch with No. 1 LSU in its own backyard. Alabama coach Nick Saban made his case with the voters and computer polls that determine who plays for the crystal football in the New Orleans. He actually holds a ballot in the USA Today coaches poll and chuckled when asked if Alabama would be in his top two. “Yeah, you’re all going to get to see my vote,” he said smiling. “So now you know what it is.” http://annistonstar.com/bookmark/16576416?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AnnistonStar%2FTideSports+%28Anniston+Star+Tide+Sports%29 And another related story: http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/11/alabama_sits_waits_for_final_b.html |
