Most Boring Championship Game Ever?

[ringmaster]

I know I'm young compared to everyone else here that's why I'm asking the older folks if there's have been a more boring title game.

Yes there has been some other boring Championship games I've seen over the years another was the 2006 BCS game where an underdog Florida team dismantled a overhyped Ohio St team 41-14.

I'm 34 yrs old still considered young base on reading your posts you're a mature acting teenager and you're like the little bro I never had talking sports pretty impressive for your age.

Yeah. it was boring.

Alabama's defense is pretty epic though. Maybe a once in a decade type D.
To me they seemd like the better team even when they lost earlier this year. All the missed FGs and the endzone tug-of-war reception/interception did them in.

Still, the layoff appeared to really affect LSU. They were just so flat and out of synch. The built-in problem with the BCS title game (and many of the bowls) is you always have a risk that by playing a game a month and half after the season has ended that one team will just not be clicking at all.

Sometime, in bowls games, you witness two teams that don't even resemble the teams that were playing a month earlier.

40-50 days between games is just unimaginably preposterous.

I agree and that is why I am so wanting a playoff system in college football but we all know that it will never happen with all of that money and the coporate sponsors involved in the bowl games.

I think it will happen, the BCS was the 1st step and no one thought that would happen. Yes there is money in the bowl games there is even more money in a playoff system where you could still use the so called bowl games to help determine who the final 2 teams will be.

To each their own.

I love a good defensive struggle in regular match ups and such.

I don't like for the 'biggest college game of the year' to come down to a defensive battle.

I'm weird like that I suppose.

I see where you're going with this and you're not the only fan that is like that in regards to offensive football.

I like both types of games where its alot of offense or defense but we're in a society now where Rotoball is king.

That was as dominant a performance by a defense that I've ever seen and with the way offenses are nowadays, I appreciate a good defensive game once in awhile.

Yes that is a distinct possibility of that happening very soon.

this was a terrible game, no better than any other lopsided game. you cant convince me that Boise State, OSU or Stanford wouldnt have made a better matchup. this is why two teams from one conference shouldnt play each other in the title game. same goes for two big 12 or pac 12 teams, it would be the opposite, all offense, no defense.

I can honestly say that if OSU for example played either LSU, or Alabama in the championship game then if we think that LSU/Alabama was boring just think how boring LSU/OSU, or Alabama/OSU would've been and given how OSU played against Stanford those SEC running games of LSU/Alabama would've been brutal for the OSU defense.

I know that alot of people didn't like the idea for a rematch but those were the two best teams in the country regardless of how much some of us didn't want the matchup but that is how the BCS sat it up imho any of those other teams wouldn't been any better because the SEC was going to win the championship regardless of who was there playing in New Orleans.

Me too.

These two teams were clearly the best teams in the nation. I wish we could have seen what OSU could have done against Alabama or LSU, but I believe both those teams would have annihilated OSU.

Who knows? They haven't faced an offense like OSU's, plus their defensive ability to cause turnovers.

 

[tyke1doe]

in hindsight, i wish Bama would have won convincingly in the first game, then maybe we wouldnt have been put through a god awful rematch.

It wouldn't have mattered. LSU would still have lost to the top ranked team. Meanwhile, OSU lost to Iowa State and Stanford lost convincingly to Oregon.

That still pits LSU vs. Alabama.

Well, OSU's offense hasn't faced a defense like Alabama's or LSU's. And seeing how Alabama and LSU averaged nearly 40 points a game and OSU's defense gave up tons of points, I don't have any trouble saying either SEC team would stomp OSU.

OSU's defense may have given up a ton of points because offense in the Big 12 is like defense in the SEC. 3 top 10 offenses reside in the Big 12, that's why they had points put up against them, that and that their offense score so quickly that the defense is constantly on the field.

Hey, at least the national anthem was good...





NOT!

LOL, that was brutal. I don't know where they found that guy but he was horrible.

Do you think OSU would've beaten LSU, or Alabama in the championship?

My answer would be no and yes OSU has a superb offense but a statuesque Brandon Weeden would've been eaten alive by any of those defenses.

Lets just say I would not wager money on it but I would like to have seen it. Something about 2 teams stepping out on the field to determin the outcome as opposed to voters and computers. Call me crazy but I would rather see it determined by the players

Are Lousiana-Lafayette and Tulsa, teams that put up 34 and 33 respectively, on OSU in the Big 12?

There is nothing wrong with that and I would like to see the samething but if it was me determining the BCS championship game OSU would've gotten the opportunity to play LSU, but that is something the BCS will have to fix because I don't want to see it become a common occurance in college football where 2 teams from the same conference playing in the national championship but I see where you're coming from.

In the end the schools agreed to this system and voted on it and approved it and now you have to live with it until something else is put in place. I respect the job Mike Gundy did and it is shame their loss to Iowa St was played right after a tragedy that took place a couple days before the game. OSU I think has put together a great program and it would be interesting to see how they would have played vs either Bama or LSU

No doubt Gundy has done a great job with the OSU program and I love his offense and it is very similar to that of Garrett's offense in Dallas.

It would've been ineteresting for sure if OSU was in the BCS championship but when I look at the matchups Justin Blackmon would've been a handful for either defense no question about and they do have a very good RB in Joesph Randle but beyond that either defense would've been problematic for one Brandon Weeden.

It's not just your youth. It was the most boring championship game I've ever seen. By far.
