Alabama is in, period.

I'm a bit disappointed that 11/5/12 meant little to nothing.

I don't get why you punish a team for playing in the same division as the best team in college football either.



I don't think you have to reward them for it either. Especially when you lost at home to them.

The only reason UGA didn't go in 2007 is because ESPN told everyone you can't send a team that didn't win their conference to the title game. Now that the exact same scenario has played out, it's ok to send Bama. Hypocrisy.


Not the same scenario. LSU had a better resume, more wins against ranked teams. UGA lost to the team that LSU beat in the SECCG.

OSU has the better resume and more wins over ranked teams...

Oklahoma State has a better resume than Bama. Bama's biggest win is losing at home to LSU.

No. I have that much trouble believing Bama earned an appearance in the NC game.

Do you understand that I'm not debating 2011 with you? I'm debating 2007 and your statement that UGA deserved to go over LSU.

I hate hypotheticals, but let's just say we lost to Bama in OT. Would y'all say we deserve a rematch? I sure as hell would.




I think the real difference is that no matter how much we would say or want a rematch, we can't have one. The season will be over. You see, all the whining right now will produce a result one way or the other. Your hypothetical does not hold up. Their bitching will result in someone going to the BCS game. Should we have to ask for a rematch will only result in a tough shite, better luck next year.

Not so much that as:

1) already beat them, in spite of what the Gumps say;

2) will make it into the NC game to determine the best in the nation when they've already proven they're not even the best in their own division;

3) many feel that playing in and winning a conference championship title game should count for something;

4) the arrogant and superior attitude the Gumps have just piss us off;

5) nobody outside the state of Alabama wants to see a rematch.

I know who it's going to be, bit there would be nothing better than seeing Alabama fans get fricked over. That's all I really care about.

that's just it tho. I don't see it as bama getting screwed I see it as the way it fairly should be. I would think it is more of osu getting screwed but I guess I just have biased opinions because I'm an lsu fan

but do y'all not understand the system?

LSU's been there twice. Been part of affecting BCS at least three times. we'all have some clue.

With everything considered Bama is likely the second best team.

If you understood the system, here is a chance to explain the system and why Bama is the second best. 'Considering what?' is Bama second best?
