BCS lineup set

**Biggin** · December 4th, 2011, 09:41 PM

RTR bitches! I'm glad the voters decided to put the TWO best teams in the country play. Who cares about style matchups, let's let the two best teams play each other with all the marbles on the line.

BCS National Title Game:
#1 LSU v #2 Alabama

Fiesta Bowl:
#3 Oklahoma State v. #4 Stanford

Rose Bowl:
#5 Oregon v. #10 Wisconsin

Sugar Bowl:
#11 Virginia Tech v. #13 Michigan

Orange Bowl:
#15 Clemson v. #24 West Virginia

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.

That's exactly what Nick Saban said in 2003 when his LSU Tigers (who won the SEC) had to play an Oklahoma team that had just lost the Big 12 championship to KSU 35-7 for the national title.

Think they got it right. The two best teams are playing for the national title. So what, if they've already played or if Bama didn't win the conference, these are the two best.

I think Oklahoma State deserved a shot at LSU. The only game they lost was in double overtime on a night they learned that the head basketball coach was killed in a plane crash. They have defeated just as many ranked teams as Alabama and defeated two top ten teams. If this year doesn't make the powers that be want to go to at least a plus 1 system then I don't know what will. LSU/Stanford and Alabama/Oklahoma State with the winners going to the BCS national championship game and there wouldn't be any gripe about who was #1.

I'm not arguing about who the 2 best teams are. I feel the BCS is doing LSU a disservice, they shouldn't have to beat a team twice to be the champs. IMO if they aren't going to play Ok.State, there shouldn't even be a game, just give the title to the Tigers.

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.

the last game matters, its for a national championship.

oklahoma state did not win a conference championship game either.

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.
