It was a very bad performance, but it was not even close to the worst performance that any team had in a BCS Title Game.
In the BCS Title Game after the 2001 season, Miami led Nebraska 34-0 by the second quarter and then called the dogs off. Nebraska never had any chance in the game.
After the 2012 season, Notre Dame was down 28-0 to Bama before they knew what hit them, and they never had a chance in the game.
After the 2004 season, USC blasted Oklahoma 55-19, and the Sooners never had a chance in the game.
After the 2006 season, Florida dominated Ohio State 41-14 and the Buckeyes never really had a chance from the start.
I think you're exaggerating and insulting our 2011 team by saying they were the worst ever in a title game. The defense fought valiantly and only allowed Bama 5 field goals all the way until the end of the 4th quarter in that game. The game was competitive until the very end when that one touchdown by Bama late in the 4th quarter finally sealed it for them.
Before that happened, just one break for LSU could have swung the momentum in our favor and we might have rallied for the win. I'm very proud of the way our defense fought and fought and kept us in that game.

Sometimes I wonder if ESPN will ever do one of those 30 for 30 documentaries on the 2011 LSU football team. It could be a "Best That Never Was" type of documentary like the Marcus Dupree episode.
It was basically the best season a college football team had ever had until the tragic crash at the end. Bama got a mulligan after losing to LSU at home during the regular season and failing to win both the SEC and the SEC West. Instead of playing a conference championship game, they got to just sit at home and do nothing and advance to the National Title Game, because the polls favored them for biased, subjective reasons and name-brand bias. This happened despite the fact that Oklahoma State had only one loss just like Bama, won their own conference, and had a stronger strength of schedule than Bama. By any objective measure, Oklahoma State should have advanced to the title game, but they didn't have the same name-brand power as Bama.
This single game impacted college football tremendously as it caused outrage all across college football and hastened the death of the BCS. Within a month or two after the 1/9/12 debacle, college football decided to scrap the BCS and finally produce a playoff system for the first time. Thus, the end of the BCS era was brought about, and the system was committed to the vault of history.
I would say that this makes pretty good sports documentary material.

Still talking about this shite? It was bama's night. If Lee had played probably would have turned out the same. Think of the 07 game vs Virginia tech. They were top 10 team and we crushed them. No one expected it. shite happens.

we are witnessing a generation of athletes that will be talked of for the next hundred years. For example Basketball: Lebron/Duncan/Greg Pop, football: Nick Saban/Bill Beli at New England(his continued success is astonishing)

Maybe so but at least try something different. JJ played terrible against UGA in the SEC championship why wouldn't he prepare a backup plan?

Not at all. Okie St. lost the week after we did. The polls were adjusted as you lost. Bama was number 2 the final 2 weeks of he season and never did anything to lose that spot.
Had the Big 12 had a championship game it more than likely would have given Okie St. the nod but they didnt. It bit them last year as well.
Still, okie st. could have been in the title game if not for the loss after we lost. We were second in the polls by a good margin after their loss to Iowa St.
Same thing happened to UF in 2009. If they based it on the best body of work we should have re-matched UF in the title game instead of Texas. UF's season had been much much better but the polls didnt work that way. Saw both UF and UT in person and Texas would have been beaten by 3 TD's by the Gators. There was no selection. If you were 1 or 2 in the polls you played for the title. During the season, If you lost, you dropped, just the way it worked. There was no way Okie st could have lost to ISU and not dropped.

The team was never the same after the non-sensical QB switch. No doubt we would have gone on to win the NC if things would have been left alone and not interfered with.
This is just stupid. Without the QB change, we lose the 9-6 game, and never even make it to the NC game. We were not making it in over okie state with 1 loss. We're not Bama.

There is no way UF had a better body of work after going 12-1 and getting blasted in SEC Championship. Second of all, I don't believe that UF would have beaten Texas for sure. Texas was an excellent team that hung in tough against Bama despite losing Colt McCoy on the first drive and having to play a terrible freshman named Garrett Gilbert. I believe that Texas could very well have beaten Bama if McCoy hadn't been injured in the first drive. Bama struggled to stop him during the few plays that he was in. These situations are not at all comparable to the LSU Bama Okie State debacle in 2011.
