Here are some articles documenting the extreme pro-SEC bias in the BCS polls. This is how you get LSU vs Alabama in the national championship game instead Oklahoma State last year... and there is a potential threat to do it again this year!

well unless i missed somthing , the game i saw between okie lite and stanford if the kicker for stanford had made that feild goal instead of choking , okie lite would have lost to stanford, the best way to keep an sec team out of the nc is to beat an sec team, i do not see VT doing that Oregon tried LSU last year and failed, michigan tried alabama this year and failed, it,s not sec bias it,s just observation, the best team the acc has going for it this year is florida state and they got snakebit by nc state come on dude really!!!!!!

The SEC, Pac 12, Big Ten, Big 12 are better than the ACC

Problem with that statement - it's now the way the polls actually work. For example, an SEC loses, they fall 4 or 5 spots in the poll. An ACC team loses, they get less respect - they fall 7 spots in the poll. So if a Big XII team loses, they should be treated like an SEC team, right? Or at worst, split the difference, right?
Wrong. The Big XII team falls 10 to 11 spots in the polls. THAT is bias. I never said the ACC was the best conference - the SEC guy threw that out to try to change the subject. The facts show that teams from other conferences just don't get treated the same as SEC teams - even when the SEC team LOSES. Beating them does NOT solve the problem, apparently!
