The BCS gave us the big middle finger and made us play Bama again. I will always hate the BCS system for what they did to what could have been the greatest college team ever

True, but we sure didn't help our own cause by recycling the same offensive game plan that we used the first time we played Bama; and apparently having absolutely no back up plan in case things went wrong, which they did in a big way. Trotting JJ out there series after offensive series when it was obvious that he wasn't the answer. The poor defense played their butts off for 3 quarters before running out of gas.

For a team that was so dominant during the regular season, getting shut out in the BCS title game had to have been the ultimate embarrassment.

The BCS was the only thing that almost stopped us from playing Bama. The human polls had Bama at #2 so any system based on them puts them in the NC game. Any legit playoff format also has Bama in it and probably making the NC game.

But the computers in the BCS were almost enough to put Ok State over the edge.

The BCS gave us 2 national championships. Winning it all will take 3 tough wins in the postseason for now on.

Yes the 2011 season was the last stone to fall for the BCS. For LSU to dominate that way and beat bama at BAMA........ then have to play bama in the championship game was like a slap in your face anf they dared us to say anything about it. They dangled a apple at Okie St with if you beat OU you could play in the championship game. Then the proceeded to blow OU out the water. They would have lost to us TBH but it was taken out of their hands to compete for it. But bama was the only team that could physically stand up to us for 4 qtrs.

bullshite - if LSU couldn't beat Alabama on 1/9, then they didn't deserve the championship.

We weren't complaining about the BCS in 2003 and 2007.
