re: Saban comments about rematch talk with ESPN reporter

Essentially that's it roger. you don't have to agree with it but you do have to accept that many others see it that way as well.

like I said ...agree to disagree

If Boise State went undefeated this year, they would be in the national championship playing LSU.

If the Oklahoma State kicker put the pull between the goal posts, OSU would be in the national championship playing LSU.


How many would take Boise State, had they gone undefeated this year, over Alabama? Similarly, if OSU had gone undefeated, would they suddenly be a better team than Alabama?

The media and fans have been saying that LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the country since early October. BSU or OSU going undefeated wouldn't have changed anyone's opinion that either of them could compete with Alabama, yet if either had gone undefeated, they would have been in the national championship - and the media and fans wouldn't be saying "the BCS got it wrong". After all, if the only 2 undefeated teams are in the national championship, how could the BCS have gotten it wrong? Yet, again, no one would take an undefeated BSU or OSU over the second "best" team in the country in Alabama.

That's where the "best two team" argument falls apart.
