re: Why LSU (And Other Major SEC Players) Will NOT Win An SEC/BCS Title in 2013

Then your anger should be directed at the pollsters, not the SEC or Alabama.

"Anger"? How many times do I have to post this: I'm not angry. Honestly, this cracks me up. It's a farce to the Nth degree.

At any point at the end of last season, the voters could have said "Well, Bama is a good team, but they really only beat 3 teams with a winning record. Therefore, I think Oklahoma St. is a more deserving #2" The fact is, the voters didn't see it that way, so Alabama played in the BCSNCG.

CFB is a beauty contest that's all about ratings. Bama brings ratings. Period. OSU (Oklahoma State, not Ohio State) doesn't. End of story.

Win the games on your schedule

So this holds true for some teams and not others?

All OSU had to do last year was beat Iowa St., and Bama doesn't play in the NCG.

And all Bama had to do was...

Oh wait. I forget. You, along with other posters, national media, etc, have all bought into the fact that some programs HAVE to win all their games while others don't. Why the obvious double standard?

If LSU beats Bama this year, then Bama doesn't make the SECCG.

Agreed. Which is why I stated earlier in this thread (or may have been another one) that LSU's world isn't collapsing. LSU, depsite the injuries, suspensions, schedule that was twice as hard as Bama's (by design), still was a few plays away from making the SECCG.

My point is, that is difficult to do year in and year out. That's the whole point of the OP. Next year it will be tougher as Bama's already rediculously easy schedule gets even easier. This is all I'm saying.
