They went 11-1 and beat 10th ranked OU 44-10 to win the Big 12. Would it have been better for them to have beaten that 6-6 team 44-10 and have lost to OU?

Bama lost at home to LSU and they did not win their own Conference Championship. They should not be playing for a National Championship.

"Bama lost at home to LSU and they did not win their own Conference Championship. They should not be playing for a National Championship"

I fully agree.

lmao @ all the OSU backers out there..first and foremost, OSU deserves absolutely NOTHING..you want to be GUARANTEED a spot (this year at least) in the title game? go undefeated and you dont have to blame anybody. OSU had their chance and they blew it.

A small part of me kind of would like to see OSU play LSU..just so the whole world could see what most of us already know would happen, a dismantling. A very small part, that is.

I could not care less about any of these 3 teams involved, however, for PURE entertainment purposes, LSU vs Bama WITHOUT question will provide the best game. These two teams are absolutely STACKED with talent. I am more than ok with being selfish, let me get to see the best game college football can put together two times in one year, I will take it. Hell yeah!

I would agree that by losing OSU put their fate in the hands of those who do not play but write about the game. Bama did the same they lost and in the end their fate was put in the hands of others

Doesn't mean it was right. Writers make bad choices all the time.

I your opinion, I'm sure that's true. In mine, not so much.

True. As Gundy said OSU like others agreed with the creation of the BCS by voting for it. So you live with it.

However since it is a system that is filled with opinions of course people across the nation will debate it.

I think this will only strengthen the fight for those who want to see NC settled on the field instead of by pollsters

OSU has no chance, pal. They suck..They will lose to Stanford and then everyone will understand they suck..

EDIT** As a matter of fact, Stanford has a BETTER argument to play in the national title game than OSU does..

I'm not your pal. You have an opinion, you stated it. I don't agree. It's as simple as that.

I don't really have a problem with somebody saying that Stanford should be playing in the NC game. I don't really agree that they do but I would not have a problem if that was who was selected. I have a problem with picking a team who has already lost to LSU to play in the NC from the same conference in the SEC. That I don't agree with.

Prove it...

prove it?

Bama plays in the best conference in college football

they lost to the best team in the regular season

they were ranked higher than OSU the ENTIRE SEASON

OSU lost to Iowa State

Bama is more talented, better coached, and clearly a better team...

BCS is designed to pit the 2 best teams in the country..it does NOT matter what conferences the teams play in..it does NOT matter if you won your conf championship..it does NOT matter if you already lost to the #1 team in the country

the two best teams ARE - LSU and Alabama

None of that proves Alabama is better than Okie State. It's just a bunch of opinions. I agree with all of your opinions but they are still just opinions.

Bama was ranked higher than OK St ALL season..thats not an opinion..OSU did nothing to jump them..dismantling a bogus OU team is not enough..

OU lost to TT @ home AND to Baylor

Bama started out ranked higher. I don't think you can say that OSU did nothing to jump them. I think you can say that OSU had more ground to make up. I think that's a much more fair depiction.

The whole ranking system is pure opinion.

That was just someone's opinion to have them ranked ahead of okie state all year.

It is still an opinion. That is what polls are. Only way to get a true results is by having teams play in a format that allows teams to play it on the field.

NCAA does this with baseball, basketball and lower division of football yet the top football division is determined by a poll?

The BCS is made up of opinions and stats. I couldn't think of 2 worse things to go off of to deciding who is better.

The computers actually have the big 12 as the best conference too.

I wish both teams would lose.

For a 1-loss team to get a nod over an SEC 1-loss team, it would probably have to be Ohio St, Michigan, USC, Texas or Oklahoma. I don't think schools like OSU are going to get the respect from the polls and the BCS that they are due, especially against a team that recently won a NC.

Having said that, Alabama is the only hope we have of anyone giving LSU a real game. LSU would crush OSU like a worm. They have like 10 good NFL prospects on their roster. If LSU had a good QB, they'd be among the best teams we've ever seen. And yet they're probably only slightly better than Bama.

It will be ugly, but probably half the guys starting in that game will also be on Sunday. There will be as much defensive talent on the field in one college game as we've seen in years.
