Actually yea you're probably right - Saban shouldn't be considered professional. I actually forgot that he had said he was not going to be the Alabama coach. And calling the agents pimps...while he may be correct in his statement, he is guilty of taking advantage of athletes as well.

Up until week 7 this was the Heisman voting. With 1-3 rotating each week and the bottom 2 changin quite a bit.

Greg McElroy QB Alabama
Julio Jones WR Alabama
Mark Ingram HB Alabama
Christian Ponder QB Florida State
Titus Young WR Boise State

Alabama was 7-0 at this point

This is how the season ended

Christian Ponder QB Florida State
Greg McElroy QB Alabama
Titus Young WR Boise State
Terrelle Pryor QB Ohio State
Mark Ingram HB Alabama

Ponder won the Heisman, Alabama went on to go 12-0 in the National Championship only to lose 34-21 to Boise State

Sure Alabama may be overated but they are not unstoppable. BTW I was Ball State and didn't face any of those teams.

Re: Alabama favoritism doesn't just end with the rosters

Well all of this "Bama favortism" can be trumped with my situation. I started my first season with Alabama on my Dynasty, of course Alabama is number one. I beat the hell out of everyone, even changing out the game with FCS Southeast (i.e. Georgia Southern) with Troy. About week 5 I get jumped by Ohio State in the polls although I am undefeated and have won very game by 21+ pts. I am cool with it, then all of a sudden UW jumps to number one while I DROP to number three overall, in the BCS rankings as well. Mind you that my closest game was against Tenn 34-17, yet I drop to #3. Again, it is ok because I still have the SEC conference game while OSU and UW do not. I go on to destroy UGA in the SEC Championship 41-6 and I am 13-0. What happens next??? I stay at #3 even though I am 13-0 while the Huskies and OSU are 12-0. Turns out Alabama (at 13-0) got to play Nevada in the Sugar Bowl, while UW (12-0) and OSU (12-0) got to play for the national title. Crap... and you know who won the Heisman?? Titus Young.. the WR from Boise State. Titus Young?!?! My first season was garbage.... So there is no Alabama bias, as there is no bias at all. It is all random and there is no method to the madness.

Take it from an LSU fan who knows the man and his tendencies. His weaknesses have nothing to do with the x's and o's of the game. The defense will always be solid and he makes good hires for o-coordiators so he doesent have to mess with that.

i cant believe the man called these agents pimps when he himself is a whore for money.
Awww, you really miss him huh?
