Based on a variety of factors, I'm certain Alabama would have crushed anyone else in the country

Actually, an idea as absolute as that can only be founded on one factor: your heart.

You are clearly a huge Alabama fan. You love them and think they are the cat's meow.

But BEFORE 1/9, that was simply a ludicrous proposition.

Even the voters that put them ahead of OSU likely wouldn't make a statement like that because they would probably lose their vote in the poll the following year.

Sure, many people could reasonably believe that Alabama was the best team at that point based on their close loss to LSU, but anyone saying Alabama would "certainly crush" anyone else in the country is just as stupid as an LSU fan claiming the same thing.

You see, you believe that LSU would have been handed the title if OSU had been selected. As a rational LSU fan, I can tell you that is a preposterous statement.

Do I think we were better than OSU? Yes I do. Do I think we would have won the game? Yes I do.

But I would never assume that as a fact, and would be embarrassed by any LSU fans that would as well. Those are type of "fans" that represent the idiotic part of my fan base, which I can only assume is the part of Alabama's fan base in which you reside.

You are not trying to have an open and honest discourse, and that has become clearer and clearer with every post, most notably this little nugget right here:

LSU was the toughest possible opponent for Alabama. Perhaps, Alabama didn't deserve a shot to play LSU again, but no one else deserved to be put on the field against Alabama but you.

No one else deserved to be put on the field against Alabama but LSU????

Your hindsight bias and backwards perspective is comical at this point. LSU BEAT ALABAMA. Convincing or not in YOUR eyes, the scoreboard tells no lies.

The question was who deserved to be put on the field against LSU, not the other way around, Gump (I can now feel comfortable referring to you by that tag).
