Bama doesn't deserve a spot NC game

Consider the possibility of Bama in SEC East and they play LSU in SEC championship game. If the result of the game is the same as the one in Tuscaloosa, LSU 9 - Bama 6, would Bama be a likely candidate for NC game. A team that lost its most recent game may be dropped in favor of another deserving team.
Before you say SEC, remember 2006. Big 10 was considered a formidable conference and the game between Ohio State and Michigan was close, even well played. In addition Michigan was ranked no. 2 going into that game. Florida got the chance when people voted against a rematch.
Only difference in the current state for Bama is the timing. They did not lose their game in the last week, but have lost it earlier. Earlier than Okie State. If the timing of the loss is an issue, the team that should have inside track is Va Tech. They lost their game early, get a chance to beat the team that defeated them. If Va Tech convincingly beats Clemson, they will have a similar record as Bama, have a conference championship, and would have avenged a loss in the course of the year.
Before you compare SEC and ACC, remember in 2006 Big 10 was ranked higher than SEC. Conference ranking only indicates the state of the conference, not the state of the best team in the conference. So, if Va Tech wins ACC championship, they should get a shot at the BCS title.

If UGA beats LSU just give it to Boise State - a one loss team that beat the SEC champs

If LSU loses the SEC championship game, they are also a 1-loss team. The resume will be dinged and a host of other 1-loss teams will certainly have a claim.
Boise lost because TCU went for a 2-point conversion and Boise could not make a field goal that could have won the game (ask Bama about FG bitch fest)

IF OS beats OU, with thier numbers in the computer, its very possible/likely they are in the NC. We just have no way of gauging the mindset of the voters. We know the media's mindset... "Just drink the Bama kool aid", but the voters have a mind of thier own. As I said before, the majority of the football fans across the nation do not want to see 2 SEC teams in the NC.

I am not sure how you seperate Stanford, OSU and Bama if all finish with 1 loss. They all have reasons why they could be considered number 2. At the end of the day it just like life --- unfair.

yes they do.
They are the second best team in the land.
BSC was designed to have the 2 best teams play.
Its easy.. LSU is #1 alabama is #2.
Being as weve already played them and they are in the same divsion/conference mean absolutley nothing.
If LSU had lost that game nov 5th and we were ranked #2, every person hear bithching about alabama would be singing a different tune.

Boise VS. Houston would serve errybody right.

I already made this exact case.
Say Bama is undefeated.. plays LSU in the SEC Championship game.. and loses in the exact same fashion.. would they get a national championship shot?
Nope.

That's all hypothetical dude.
Facts are LSU is #1, Bama is #2, and the BCS was designed to pit #1 vs #2 regardless of circumstances.
Next and most important fact: The winner of the BCSNCG takes home the crystal trophy and will be declared the undisputed 2011 NC for all of history. It won't matter what happened in T-town on Nov 5th. You can bitch, complain, argue, whatever. It won't matter spit.

If deserves played a role in sports, then the Vikings deserved another shot at the Saints in 2009 because they lost the game ONLY because their QB made a bad play and were probably still the second best team in the NFL that year.
But that is not how things work.

BAMA team on the road and still didn't get in!

Thanks.
Nothing worse than a bama apologist as an LSU fan.

The regular season means too much in college football to give Bama a free pass and play on house money..
So why wasn't there a rematch with Ohio St / Michigan? They had an epic game and same season result.. but they let a new team get a shot..
Bama had their shot. They had it at HOME! They got whipped in OT. Case closed. Let an actual conference champ get theirs.. especially if it's OSU who has more quality wins.. and loss was actually on the road given really horrible circumstances.. and in a game that they actually were up big and got stuck on cruise control.

Also it's not that bama deserves or not.. but it is about letting another team get their shot.

bama played a better game than LSU so they deserve to go, except for the 4 missed field goals & losing score I mean.

Every game does matter. We lost to LSU, the #1 team, in OT. Every other team has a "MUCH WORST" loss. If I were you guys I guess I would want to play someone else too. Vegas has every other team a double digit underdog to you and we're a 2pt dog. Makes sense that you want someone else. I get it. Too bad, not happening.
