BCS lineup set

[GC-1]

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.

[GC-1]

I'm not getting into a "who deserves this and that" argument, but I would LOVE to have seen 1) OKST take on LSU and 2) Clemson taking on Michigan instead of VT who Clemson whooped twice and only is there because of such a pancake schedule.

Bad thing is Clemson was locked into the Orange by winning the ACC. And I'll be the 1st to admit VT didn't deserve a BSC bid, but neither did Michigan. They beat 1 team that was ranked when they played (Nebraska) and lost to an unranked Iowa and then 23 Michigan St. And I could make arguments against Boise too. But I'll take an invite to the sugar as a make up for the Fiesta passing over a one loss VT in 01 for Notre Dame :-)

Thing is, the system isn't perfect, far from it.

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.

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)

[starbuck]

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?

[cumbousaf]

Won't be watching the title game, we all ready know that outcome.

LSU should just get the title, they have already beaten Alabama in their own building, why do they have to do it on a neutral field to get the trophy.

If you don't win your conference, you have no business playing for the national title.

But LSU, Bama, and Georgia could all probably beat the winner of any other district.

[EJ3]

Georgia would struggle with any of the other conference champs, except maybe WVU.

I'm not seeing UGa beating OSU. I think the Cowboys could handle them. My two cents.

I'm a fan of the SEC and don't mind seeing Bama-LSU again. But my question is the same as so many others: What about the criteria of winning that conference title or even playing in the title game if you're in one of those "automatic qualifier" (More bs, but I'll save that rant for another time.) conferences? The talking heads of the BCS used to go on and on about it. I scratch my head at so many of the decisions of the BS, but this is the system those with money decided to keep. So, NCAA Div. 1 football fans, here we are. And here, we are stuck until the money runs out.
