Your logic is perfect. In a world where Conferences are competitive with each other.



If your point is that a given non conference champ may be arguably "better" than another's conference champ, I agree. But surely the former is not better than their conference champ, or they would've won their conference. Thus the former would not deserve to go to the NC over their conference champ

Think about this. The year before, Bama, who was 3rd in the West, beat the Big Ten champ 49-7 in their bowl game. This is why conf champs shouldn't be the only criteria. Not all conferences are equal.

And back to my point I've made to several people in several threads without resonse: If Bama was so obviously more deserving, why did the computers (which compared strength of schedules, records vs. ranked teams, etc. ) favor Okie?

---

Because rankings were putting a 4 loss Texas team in the top 25 and keeping other Big 12 teams in the top 25, despite the fact, over half that conference had defenses ranked in the 100's in defensive categories.

YOU'RE also too fricking stupid to see that this is being used as motivation for next year.

Great motivational tool for the graduating seniors. Motivate them for what?

You're a real m-fing genius.

I completely disagree with the fact that conference champions should be the only ones to play for the title.

To each his own. IMO, if every game counts then conference championships should really count, and a non-champ conference member should not be allowed to claim a bigger prize than their conference champ.

I imagine that Tony Larussa and Albert Pujols would disagree. God...what an idiotic statement.

Yeah, every game counts. Including Okie State-Iowa State.

Every regular season game does matter though.

If the "Game of the Century" at their house really mattered we should not have had to play them again, even if we'd won by only 1 point.

Jesus efifng christ. The game in Tuscaloosa did matter. The problem with your utterly failed logic is that you didn't want OSU-ISU to matter.

Your premise is completely illogical. Wild cards have often won championships at the expense of division champs over the years, including last year.

Here's the bottom line: The only reason you don't like it is because LSU got their asses kicked and you're just a homer. There's no logic to your position beyond that. You don't like it, because you don't like it. That's it.

"Allowing" Bama to win the NC? That's pure comedy there!

How far we've come. I remember reading Athlons and Lindys top 25's in the early 90's, and being erect over seeing us listed in "others to watch".

Well, this is a frickin' brilliant argument if I've ever seen one.

Yep, again, professional playoffs are exactly the same as the college BCS system. Talk about pure comedy.

quote:

All the game in Tuscaloosa ultimately determined, other than the SEC West championship, was what order to rank them in going into the BCSCG.

---

Yep, shouldn't let the SEC West and overall SEC winner stand in the way of a good do-over, huh?

quote:

---

yet if Okie Lite had been in the big game, that wouldn't have been a "mulligan" for an even worse loss?

---

No, we didn't play Okie before, so it wouldn't have been a "mulligan." Do you even know what a mulligan is, you frickin' redneck moron?

quote:

---

See, it's stupidity like this that keeps anyone from taking you seriously.

---

So if this was an era such as the 70's, where entitled programs such as Bama claimed titles before bowl games, you are telling me that this statement by me is wrong?

quote:

---

does. Last season was historical in many ways. If this was a different era of CFB, LSU would have been National Champs without having to worry about the unprecedented Mulligan Bama got.

---

That statement is not wrong.

quote:

---

Bama got a "mulligan", yet if Okie Lite had been in the big game, that wouldn't have been a "mulligan" for an even worse loss

---

Oh yes. I forget. "Quality Loss" is now part of the lexicon of CFB thanks to entitled Bama.

OSU actually won their division. OSU actually won their conference. You didn't. You sat on your arse while both LSU and OSU were EARNING major conference titles.

quote:

---

Yeah, that makes a helluva lot of sense. Only in your warped mind.

---

Believe me, I'm not the only CFB fan who realizes this. Again, as I stated to Bama fans earlier, I don't expect you to see this point of view when your school is one of the entitled programs in CFB.

This statement is so funny in so many ways.

You want to know why? Because Bama literally rode LSU's coattails into NOLA. I know, I know. The truth hurts.

You think if LSU hadn't beaten Oregon, WVU and leveled the rest of their schedule that you would have gotten that mulligan? Face it, the only reason you got the Mulligan was because you were the only team that played LSU close last season AND because of your program's history compared to OSU. LSU did all the dirty work for you. LSU, by virtue of their OOC schedule, eliminated the Pac 12 Champ and the Big East Champ while you were playing Ga. Souther and N. Texas. While you sat at home BEGGING for a second chance, LSU was kicking UGAs arse in their back yard for the Conference Championship. Face it gump, if LSU doesn't have the season it had in 2011, your loss at home in "The Game Of The Century That Didn't Count" wouldn't get as much play. Your entire season in 2011 was put on a pedestal by the media simply because you had a "quality loss" to a team that dominated a historical schedule.

Instead of thanking LSU for the season it had so you could be handed a Mulligan, you Bama shitheads come here and try and justify the fact that you had the weakest resume in BCSNCG history.

You won your unprecedented Mulligan. More power to you. Those of us who are not just LSU fans, but CFB fans are worried what this type of stupidity will ultimately do to the sport now that the entitled teams no longer have to EARN their way into a championship game.
