The large forward-backward asymmetry in ttbar production observed at the Tevatron has generated a lot of excitement in recent times. Many different models have been proposed as possible explanations for this anomaly. I shall discuss how the measurement of the polarization of the top can be used to characterize and discriminate among such models.
