   I actually think the 'right' outcome(after Bama beat Georgia) was to take Bama   
   and FSU and leave Texas out.  In my view(like in 93, where they got it right)   
   the Texas hth win over Alabama shouldn't have been enough to discount   
   Alabama's more than    
   humongous win over georgia.  I realize in the minority there, but hth   
   shouldn't always trump everything.....
