the last game matters, its for a national championship.

oklahoma state did not win a conference championship game either.

But they did win their conference championship. You're just being an Alabama homer. If you were an Oklahoma State fan you would be saying Oklahoma State should be in the title game. Both teams are good teams and both teams are deserving. My only gripe about it is that Alabama already had their chance at home and lost because their kicker couldn't make a field goal. The only way to settle it is with a playoff or at least a +1 system that settles it on the field.

Well, I think the SEC proposed a plus one system maybe last year. I would at least like to see an 8 team playoff. A 16 team playoff like FCS would be a dream.

So you wanna penalize Alabama for losing to #1 LSU by a FG in OT and turn around and reward OSU for losing to 6-6 Iowa State?

OSU had their shot to play LSU, beat ISU and they are there.

I'm not gonna make a case for VT being in the Sugar...it came down to ticket sales and fan bases plain and simple...i'll take it


but I will add that if you're gonna talk about schedules, let's go ahead and point out that Alabama only has 3 wins over teams with winning records....


so...uh....there's that...

As far as the National Championship is concerned, I feel they got it right. Bama and LSU could beat any other teams any given day this season. The case for OKST is simple, they are good on offense and fast as can be but IDK if they could line up play after play with either LSU or Bama. As far as LSU already beating Bama at home so they should do it again on a neutral feild, Nick Satan is a hard man to beat two times in one season and he also gets over a month to prepare! On the other hand, the Mad Hatter is one heck of a coach and the voodoo blessings have been on the Bayou Bengals from day one. This is a "home" game for the Tigers as well. I lok for it to be another low scoring grind it out type of game! Im pullin for the tigers to win, but either way you cut it its 6 in a row for God's gift to College football the SEC

IMO LSU are the National Champions, regardless of the outcome. Bama beat one team worth a crap this season, didn't win their division or conference, but somehow they get another shot.

This whole thing seems a lot like the '06 season. That year everyone thought that OSU and Michigan were by far the two best teams in the country. Luckily UF slid by Michigan at the very end, and proved to the world that the neither OSU or Michigan was worth the hype. I'm not saying the same thing would have happened this year, but we'll never know. Hopefully the Tigers roll in January otherwise there will be another split National Title.(which the BCS was supposed to eliminate)

we know the score of the first LSU-Bama game but the Tide was the the team that played the better game. LSU really escaped with one in that game. Tide left what? 10 points on the field easy?

Arkansas is a top 10 team. Penn State won 9 games. Auburn is ranked. Florida was ranked at one point. Vanderbilt is 6-6 but just RAILED a Wake Forest team by FIVE TDs that beat Florida State. The SEC's 6-6 is not like the Big XII's 6-6.

How many "worth a crap" teams did OSU beat? Two? Three?

You cant give OSU credit for beating Mizzou or TT while downing Alabama for beating Vandy or UF.


and UGA would beat Wisconsin IMO, and smash WVU. Speed owns the Big 10.
Call me what you want, but UGA would not get blown out by OSU or Oregon either. Their defense is too good for that.


Not to mention when the SEC commissioner Mike Slive proposed a plus-1 system, no other conference aside from the ACC (props, at least they were open to it) would even entertain the thought.

So Big XII, PAC-12, Big 10 fans should be pissed at their commissioners and presidents. You can't reject the SEC's idea to fix the system then be pissed when it works out putting the two best teams in the title game.

and VT has one win over a ranked team.

I love how people mention that, because its false.

Penn State-winning record
Arkansas-winning record
Auburn-winning record
Georgia Southern-winning record

But because Vandy is 6-6 and UT (who dismantled the co-Big East champ by 3 TDs) is 5-7, somehow Bama's schedule is weak.

Bama beat six teams with non-losing records.
Bama beat three ranked teams.
Bama has a better win than OSU.
Bama has a better loss than OSU.
