Which is the entire argument

---

That the 2 best teams that season played for the national championship? Yes, it absolutely is the argument.

quote:

---

LSU was robbed having to play Bama again as they sat at home during the SECCG

---

What relevance does this have? Did lsu pickup injuries in that game that impacted the bcs game? Otherwise it just sounds like you were scared that lsu had to play a team that you knew could possibly beat them.

quote:

---

frick them and their mulligan

---

You might have a point if the game was close.

The worst beatdown in championship game history kinda tosses the mulligan point out the window.

quote:

---

The teams that won their conference, i.e., Okie State and Wisconsin.

---

Apparently you missed the part about not squandering their opportunities. Let me know when you’re ready to answer that.

There are 10+ other conferences not listed there. Why didn’t you mention those?

quote:

---

There was no on-the-field line-of-sight that shows the SEC was better than either the Big 12 or the Big 10.

---

There was nothing showing the big 12 was better than PAC 12 and whatever conferences Boise and houston were in either. Why aren’t those conferences referenced in your list?

quote:

---

OTOH, we proved directly we were better than the Pac-12 (we bested their champ Oregon on the field in Jerry World). We proved we were better than the Big East champ (we bested their champ WVU on the field in Morgantown). We won the SEC on the field.

---

Lsu didn’t play Clemson that year. Why aren’t they in any of your mentions?

quote:

---

What wasn't demonstrated was our on-field superiority to the Big 12 or the Big 10.

---

What does that have to do with the bcsncg?

quote:

---

But you are assuming Alabama was better than Oklahoma State.

---

And you’re assuming Oklahoma state was better than Alabama, Stanford, and the other 125 fbs teams not named lsu.

quote:

---

They almost certainly were.

---

Based on what? Why would you say this?

quote:

---

But the BCS was to ensure ALL the best teams had a chance to compete against each other.

---

Still waiting for an explanation of how that’s not what happened. Especially given your above statement.

quote:

---

The only thing we saw settled on the field was LSU and Alabama.

---

So, the 2 best teams playing for a championship regardless of conference affiliation like you said.

quote:

---

LSU and Oklahoma State never got that chance.

---

Lsu and Stanford didn’t either.

quote:

---

The entire Big 12 conference was deemed unworthy based on eye test,

---

1. How?
2. If it was, so what? Where are your tears for the pac 12? And whatever conferences Boise and Houston were in that year?

quote:

---

the antithesis of why the BCS was created.

---

According to what? There was controversy about the bcs selections way more than there was not. Was the pac 10 deemed unworthy in 2003? The sec in 2004? The big east in 2007?

The example you’re looking for of the big 12 being deemed unworthy is the playoff committee and tcu.

So things happened on a football field in a football game.

---

So things happened off a football field not in a football game.

quote:

---

Horrific off field tragedy vs missed FGs.

---

Irrelevant vs atypical

quote:

---

Conference champion vs division non-winner.

---

Why should Alabama be punished for playing in the sand division as lsu?

Did Stanford win their conference?

quote:

---

OSU had the objectively most difficult schedule and had beaten more ranked teams than the other two combined.

---

OSU had objectively the most embarrassing loss. The same type of loss that eliminated similar teams in other seasons.

quote:

---

Stanford wasn’t even really in the discussion FTR.

---

Why not? They had 1 loss and won their division and their conference, the 2 reasons you listed why Alabama didn’t deserve to be in.

quote:

---

Saban and other coaches voted OSU 7th in their ballots btw

---

1. So behind the other 1 loss teams that didn’t lose to a 6-6 team?
2. So what?

quote:

---

LSU and Alabama had already played each other. LSU and Oklahoma State had not

---

The conference bowl tie ins did not prevent the 2 best teams from playing each other. Isn’t that what you said was the entire point?

quote:

---

The entire town of Stillwater and specifically the OSU athletic department was rocked by a horrific tragedy days before that game that they lost in overtime on the road.

---

And Alabama missed 4 field goals before they lost a regular season game in overtime to what was being talked about as one of the best team’s in history.

quote:

---

If any team deserved a mulligan in 2011, it was Oklahoma State.

---

Why do they deserve one over Alabama and Stanford who’s only losses were to top 5 teams?

quote:

---

Hence, settling it on the field vs the eye test.

---

21-0 is pretty definitive.

quote:

---

The one that had a 1% spending cut on it that the majority of republicans voted on?

---

How’d that spending cut work out? And now you suddenly care about the majority of republicans after whining about them for the entirety of this thread previously?

quote:

---

Or are you complaining that he didn't abuse the power and keep the bill from leaving the rules committee?

---

Abuse power? Sounds like a very “neocon” concern. That’s a new excuse for you limp-wristed massie lemmings :lol:

quote:

---

---

So he didn’t read the bill for the Biden debt ceiling increase that he cast the deciding yes vote on. Good to know.

Moribund no more.

Thankfully the worst coach in the history of lsu basketball was fired, despite your wishes otherwise.

quote:

---

this is why I encourage the use of quotes when disagreeing. people will invent that you think or say the polar opposite of your strongly held opinions.

---

Why should anyone waste time going back through your extensive history of loving mediocrity and the worst coach in the history of lsu basketball just for you to say “this is untrue of course” and then run like the bitch you are from the links that are actually posted proving everything they said is right.

It doesn’t matter how long you make your posts or how obnoxiously demonstrative you type your words. You still aren’t and never will be witty or intelligent enough to hide your history, mediocrity lover.
