I just want to say that I wish it was possible for both Alabama and Notre Dame to lose.
It would have been interesting to see if the voters jumped Oregon/Kansas St/ND over Florida if ND had lost to USC. I wonder if that scenario would have ended up with Northern Illinois still in the Orange... if they didn't, well I'm glad we don't have another SEC rematch, but the rest of the Bowls are pretty lame this year.
