Alabama’s resounding 21-0 win in the Superdome last night ended any real controversy regarding a split national title. Of the 60 voters who make up the AP Poll, 55 of them tabbed the Crimson Tide as their #1 team.

Oklahoma State got four votes while LSU received one. Just a guess, but here’s betting four of those voters are from the Midwest while one is from Louisiana.

At any rate, the final rankings left LSU at #2 ahead of #3 Oklahoma State and when you compare the teams’ resumes, that’s fair. The #4 slot went to Oregon and Arkansas finished #5.

With a unanimous title this year, Alabama has now had nine national title-winning seasons according to the AP and/or Coaches Poll.
