2011 proved Bama will get the benefit of any doubt.


Why do people keep saying this?
It's not Bama's fault all the other teams shite the bed.
Okie State shouldn't have lost to Iowa freakin State.
Bama was one of the top 2 teams in the country. They deserved to be there.

Because it is true.

Oklahoma and Texas laugh at you. Either of those two programs win the Big 12, they would have played LSU.

You can't be serious. OSU ha a far better resume and never once has , who you lost to, outweighed who you beat. Never. Not once. Also this

No one thought Bama should be there. Bama being allowed in that game is why every other conf pushed for change. Because only in CFb is
11-1 beat 2 ranked teams and 3 with winning record, no conf title
BETTER THAN
11-1 beat 5 ranked teams and 6 with winning record and won conf title

Yes and no. Now when the NC game ended they had won 21-0. That's pretty impressive. So in that regard yes, they deserved to be there.

However, the 'human element' did indeed play a portion in their inclusion in the title game.IMO with all things being equal, had Alabama beaten LSU 9-6 in OT, the NC game would have been Alabama vs Oklahoma State. ESPN in particular loves them some Nick Saban and Alabama. And,like Duke in basketball to an extent, they did this on their own through their history and their resurgence under Saban. Still, very,very few teams in the country would get a do-over.
