Sure. UA had the better team in 2011 due primarily to better QB play.
Agreed. Yet LSU still beat them in their back yard and had to play them again. I don't understand the point you are trying to make as a counter to my original statement that LSU's new standard is beating Bama twice in a season.

Yet LSU was able to secure the defacto CCG, in Tuscaloosa.
Ok.

TideNation doesn't see the problem with this, as does much of TigerNation.
I would expect TideNation to love this. Why shouln't they? They now know all they have to do is finish third in the SEC, lose their most important game AT HOME and they will be granted a trip to the NCG. What fanbase/team/program wouldn't love this? I honestly can't think of any.

With the playoff, winning the conference will still be the normal way of selection. This, at times, may not be the case for the 4th team, but that's leaving a lot to chance.
Oh just wait and see my friend. I don't want to come off like a smartass bc you seem like a nice guy, but you haven't been paying attention to who runs CFB now.

Most importantly, Saban and Miles has LSU at a position where the club makes its own mark. Forget UA, UF, or anybody else. They are simply clubs in the way. This is their regard for us, as it ought to be.
I agree with you. Please don't mistake my acknowledgemnt of LSU's place in the eyes of the media as anything but that. I wouldn't trade LSU's success the past decade with anyone, Bama included.
All I'm trying to do is get Rantards to think like a media moron. Then they won't feel inferior and start threads like this. Not to mention this thread alone probably got that stupid article hundreds of "clicks", which is what the author's want.

I hear you but my best guess on the selection committee is one that represents all interests. The majority, from what I can tell, puts an added weight to the conference champion. Now regarding how they are influenced by the media's current 'let's suck ______ pecker'...fair enough. But the media is as fickle as they come. 1/8 CLM was 'accolade, accolade'...1/10 CLM might be a top 20 coach, maybe. They are idiots, as you say.
My basic optimism is this. Of all the coaches fretful about playing the current gurus (Saban, Meyer, Petrino, Spurrier, etc), CLM isn't one of them. It's forgotten that he had some very good O's till Perrilloux hosed up and we got in a jam. I'm pretty confident Mett and Rivers along with Krag and Stud is going to solve all that.
