Bama didn't DESERVE do be there in the first place


Yes they did they were the 2nd best team in the country. That was the system at the time...#1 vs #2 in the BCS for the title.

I'm not sure how people can be this dumb....I mean it is the same way with the UCF fans this year. UCF is not a champion and isn't deserving of being one. Alabama is the champion today like they were then.

ETA If you want LSU to claim the one in 2011 then that means you must advocate us giving the 2007 one back because we didn't deserve to be there then right?

2nd best team based on what? They didn't have the 2nd best resume?

So Bama should be rewarded for out recruiting other teams?

The game was in doubt til their only garbage touchdown at the end. Don’t buy the Alabama propaganda.

Our offense was stagnant at times throughout the year but the team would take off after a spark from someone. That spark never quite happened.

They beat every team on their schedule except the #1 team in the country who they still didn't give up a TD to.

Oklahoma St lost to an unranked nobody.

Sure they did....it was easily as good as Oklahoma St's...it was actually better when you consider how horrible Iowa St was.

No it's not...it never has been. Also your point might carry some weight....BUT Oklahoma St didn't even play in a conf championship game in the Big 12 at the time.

National Titles should be given after winning a National Championship. Any other claim is just sad.

1. Won the SEC and SEC West 2. Beat the BCS national champs at their place 3. Went 13-1, whereas Bama went 12-1. 4. Beat the Pac-12 champs and Big East champs. 5. Beat everyone on our schedule Better win percentage, won our conference, and had harder SOS.


I've been saying this for years. We went 1-1 with Bama and had a better resume.

I was in the dome that fateful night. We absolutely should not claim the title.



No we should not claim it. I paid a lot of money and the ONLY time the entire game I was excited was when they ran out of the title and they played sandstorm before kickoff. When JJ fumbled the opening drive to punt I knew what was about to happen.


Side note on teams we beat that year...

Final Rankings of team we beat:
#1 Alabama (National Champions)
#20 UGA (SEC East Champ)
#5 Arkansas (Cotton Bowl Champions
#17 West Virginia (Orange Bowl Champions) (Big East Champion)
#4 Oregon (Rose Bowl Champions) (Pac-12 Champion)

When LSU beat Oklahoma for the National Championship and USC was number 1 in the AP poll, we were the National Champs because we one in the preseason acceptable system. Not USC even through they self claimed the National Championship. Alabama won the National Championship in 2011 according to the preseason accepted system. Don't change the accepted rules after the season.

26 years earlier in the same building for Super Bowl XX Patriots coach Raymond Berry changed QBs and shockingly it didn’t help against an all time great defense

How were they more deserving? You can argue they were better using the “eyeball” test but their SOS was worse, they didn’t win their division the only thing they had was “quality of loss” which is stupid.
