The golden age ended the moment Bama was given the rematch
We're approaching 12 years, and LSU fans are still salty their team didn't show up for the national championship game.
Bama lost a "rematch" in '21, just 2 years ago, to Georgia, and that's distant history as far as I am concerned.
Instead of being so sore, how about looking at how 1/9/12 opened up the door to getting away from the one game national championship to a truer playoff

Yea every Big10 and SEC school given 2 losses next year without penalty is going to make the season incredibly exciting week to week.

Yes, who would want to earn one of the 4 byes?

12 team playoff
Look at the average margin of victory for the playoff games when it’s only been a 4 team playoff. You mean to tell me you just want to watch more blowouts?
In a given year, there’s rarely 4 teams that are good enough to win it all, there definitely is never 12 teams good enough to win it all.
The BCS was the correct system.

This is true. We were told the regular season mattered because it was like a playoff and teams could be eliminated. I have no dog in the hunt, but LSU was punished and Bama rewarded for LSU winning the regular season "elimination" game. That showed it was all about politics, money, and greed. It's been going downhill ever since. Opt outs, NIL, rouge transferring, and finally an undefeated FSU getting left out of the CFP finally has signaled the death knell for many fans. "College" football that we've all known and loved is gone forever. It's now minor league pro football, and it sucks big arse.

You’re not. 2019 was the last time I sat and watched games. Since then I’ve probably checked LSU out a couple quarters a season. I still check T rant & recruiting to see how things are going and will always be a Tiger fan and wish for the best. It’s not anything particular LSU did, it’s the sports as a whole now.

Who told you that 1 loss in the regular season eliminated a team from NC contention in the BCS era?? Hell, LSU had 2 losses in 2007, but you are all tore up about 2011? Ok.

You're not a fan. Hate to break it to you.
Worst part is you will be fully back "in" the next time LSU makes a legit title run.

12 team playoff, only allowing 1 D1 transfer per undergraduate, unless exemption of coach getting fired or leaving, moving signing day until February and you can’t declare for the draft until after bowl season would fix everything.
-12 teams is entirely too fricking many. 4 was fine but 6 would be palatable too...if after 13 games you're only ranked 7th frick off. You lost your shot somewhere.
-I'm fine with players transferring as much as they want for whatever reason they want, as long as they have to sit out the following year like they used to have to. That would solve that issue overnight.
-I don't have any issues with NSD being in DEC or Feb. When it was only in February it was annoying having guys that were committed and happy having to wait 3 etxra months for some reason. It only allows more time for tampering and shenanigans. If a guy wants to signin Dec I don't see why it's an issue to go ahead and let em.
-The declaring for the draft thing is a non issue. If a guy wants to leave early he's still going to "opt out" (ie, quit) the bowl game, he'll jus tmake his look at me social media post a few weeks later than currently
What would fix 90% of CFB's issues is to just go back to how things were 5 years ago; fix the transfer portal sitaution and quit with paying players/recruits/whoever as much as you want. I thin NIL is a disaster in general but if it's going to exist it needs to be HEEEEEAAAAVVVVILLLLLY regulated and changed about 100 different ways from what it is now.

The NCAA screwed up by overplaying their hand and letting things get that far up the court system to begin with.

There have been national champs with regular season losses since time immemorial. It all just depends on how the regular season plays out. Bama was fortunate that all the pieces fell into place for them to make their way back into the top 2 at season's end in 2011. Not sure why that would invalidate the system while teams like 2007 LSU would not, but then some of you are irrationally reactionary to anything Bama-related.
Basically this:
Dumbass tRant posters: "Bama getting into the playoff this year just shows how biased and unfair the CFP is. The BCS was the truest way to select a champion, but those days are gone."
Also dumbass tRant posters: "Bama getting a rematch in 2011 just shows how biased and unfair the BCS was. It was so blatantly wrong that they instituted the CFP so that now we can have a true champion."

The media combined with gambling corrupted the sport.
I never gambled for many personal reasons, but I will start next year. The SEC is very predictable in terms of who they will fix games for, and the media is beyond predictable on who they will promote for the playoffs. Time to start making money on this.
I love LSU, but I love money waaaaaay more.

Hell, LSU had 2 losses in 2007, but you are all tore up about 2011? Ok
The difference between 2007 and 2011 is that LSU actually won their conference in 2007 and Ohio State was the only power 6 conference champ with fewer than 2 losses. LSU had the best resume of all the 2 loss champs including a 40 point blowout win over the eventual ACC champ. 2011 Bama couldn’t even make the conference title game and somehow gets ranked ahead of a P6 team that had the same record plus a conference title. If another P6 champ had finished 2007 with only 1 loss or if LSU hadn’t made it to Atlanta, Tiger fans would have no argument to have belonged in the BCS title game

The soul of the sport was sucked out a long time ago. Like David Pollack on the third floor Middleton library bathroom… glory holed for profit.
