BAMA is definitely a better team than OSU!...unless OSU makes a short field goal that missed by centimeters, then OSU is definitely better than Bama!

People saying they got it "right" because Bama was "better than OSU" are arguing the wrong point.

Yes Bama may have been better than OSU, but that still doesn't mean OSU didn't get shafted.

If you remove names of school this is what the picture looked like this: Team A & Team B

-They both had a loss, both in overtime. Team A's toss was at home, Team B's loss was on the road.

-Team A had a loss to a high ranked team, Team B lost to an unranked team.

-Team A had 2 wins over Top 25, Team B had 5 wins over Top 25

-Team B won their conference, Team A did not.

-Team B had a stronger SOS than Team A.

-Team A already lost to the team they would play again, Team B had yet to play that team.

In my opinion, Team B should have received the nod. Even if we had beaten Bama I would have felt the same way.

GREAT post.

Bottomline the SEC championship is determined in a completely objective way, while the BCS is determined in a partially subjective way. It CANNOT be questioned which championship is more legit, year in and year out.
