The two best teams should play.... period

quote:

---

OUTGAINED LSU,

---

So did Oregon and West Virginia. Know why? We had short fields due to our superior special teams. Same with Bama.

quote:

---

missed 4 FG's

---

Missed 3 that were outside of your kicker's range. Your head coach should have punted for field position. The 3rd was blocked by LSU.

quote:

---

and lost in overtime would be the 2nd best team.

---

More like quit in regulation and imploded in overtime. But, of course, LSU's defense had nothing to do with that did it?

We beat you IN YOUR HOUSE. How about we let someone who has a better resume take a shot at the Big Dog.

quote:

---

Do we penalize Bama because they happen to play in the same division of the same conference as LSU? The two best teams should play.

---

They
Had
Their
Shot

.. At... Home.

Scoreboard > stats
Wins > Losses


We penalize Bama because Bama LOST to LSU.

Keyword: "Lost"

quote:

---

Forget the side-by-side comparisons, strength of schedule, better resumes, "they had their shot," didn't win their division, will play one less game, blah blah blah

---

Translation: ignore all these pesky things that are used to compare two teams bc they don't favor bama.

Forget the side-by-side comparisons, strength of schedule, better resumes, "they had their shot," didn't win their division, will play one less game, blah blah blah. At the end of the day the two best teams in the country should play in the BCSNCG.

Are you trying to make an argument for OSU?

OSU if they win against Oklahoma will have a better record against tougher competition than Alabama.

Kent State, North Texas, Georgia Southern, were of course very soft out of conference football team that this years Alabama team played. Penn State was pointed out to to be a strong opponent. Wiscongin 45 vs Penn State 7.

09/24/11 vs. Arkansas * TV Tuscaloosa, Ala. W, 38-14
10/01/11 at Florida * TV Gainesville, Fla. W, 38-10
10/08/11 vs. Vanderbilt * TV Tuscaloosa, Ala. W, 34-0
10/15/11 at Ole Miss * TV Oxford, Miss. W, 52-7
10/22/11 vs. Tennessee * TV Tuscaloosa, Ala. W, 37-6
11/05/11 vs. LSU * TV Tuscaloosa, Ala. L, 9-6
11/12/11 at Mississippi State * TV Starkville, Miss. W, 24-7
11/19/11 vs. Georgia Southern TV Tuscaloosa, Ala. W, 45-21
11/26/11 at Auburn * TV Auburn, Ala. W, 42-14
That is the body of work the ESPN Network thinks is the hands down # 2 college football team in our country. And Alabama gets to stay home because this bama team lost to LSU 9-6 in Bryant Dinnie Stadium Tuscaloosa Alabama.
Is ESPN playing the United States college football fans for a bunch of chumps?

Agree with this.

Disagree with this. The voters have to use some objective criteria to determine how they should rank teams. Head to head is one but SOS is too if not why should a Houston team an undefeated Houston team not get a shot?

I am not saying I would not vote Bama 2 today if I had a vote but it it lunacy to suggest that voters should replace whatever criteria they believe is correct to determine who should be #2 and replace it with your because because you watched the first game and it is your impression that everyone believes Bama is 2.

How bout we just let the voters vote their according to their own values and criteria?

It's an accepted "Fact" that LSU is the best team in the country.

Not according to T Richardson...comments in B'ham news today, after the Auburn game..per Richardson's quote: "WE (Ala.) are the ELITE team in the conference. LSU is good, but we are gooder."...this is the guy you think should get the HEISMAN.... ..what a classless asswipe...

I'm still baffled by how you can say:

quote:

---

a game in which they OUTGAINED LSU, missed 4 FG's, and lost in overtime would be the 2nd best team.

---

Bama outgained LSU between the 30's, but couldn't get any closer than the 35. Once you reached that point in the field you self destructed, and we stopped you, just like in overtime, with one dropped pass, one overthrown pass, and an LSU sack, then a missed field goal from 50 + yards out due to the stout defense.

NOTE: When LSU got the ball in OT we drove it to the 5 and mad a chip shot field goal.

THAT'S WHAT CHAMPIONS DO. THEY EXECUTE AND DOMINATE IN CRUNCH TIME.

Bama is not a Champion this year, not even in their division of the SEC. See you next year in Tiger Stadium.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
