The Big Ten       gets 3 teams, the SEC gets 4 teams, and the Big 12 only gets 1? I think       Oklahoma would have had a        legitimate gripe.        >        > But ... I think with 12, no team left out will have a claim that they should       have been considered for #1. I'm not sure we have that this year.              The teams with an actual argument that they were unjustly left out will be the       G5 teams that are 12-1 with a couple of Top 25 wins but get passed over for a       9-3 SEC/B1G team. Not that they would have won it all, but that they really       deserved to be in        and got ignored because the money is better with the other choice.              If OU should have been 12 but is 13 and Ole Miss gets in instead, who cares?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
