Nat'l Championship

It's LSU and Alabama!!!!  Thoughts?  I'm glad to see two SEC teams in the championship!

Re: Nat'l Championship

  • I'm highly disappointed. I think the match-up between OSU and LSU would provide a much better game. We've "been there done that" with bammer and LSU this year and bammer lost at home. No need to see it again.

    I couldn't care less that it is two SEC teams. I want to watch a good game.

  • The Big 12 got hosed. OSU would have made a good match up. And K-State was passed up for a BCS bowl game (I totally typed BSC, which is funny and somewhat appropriate). Fine by me, though, because we were planning on going to the game if it were in Dallas but less likely to go in Louisiana.

  • Oklahoma State got screwed.

    This system is so fvcked up.

    I wonder how this game will end? Oh. Wait.

  • And honestly, what happens if bammer does pull out the win? Then they win the crystal ball but who ends up at #1? Bammer and LSU would be tied.So it would be another judgement call.

    Best case-- LSU beats bammer, OSU beats Stanford and it ends up clear with LSU 1, OSU 2 and bammer 3. Not that it is really any consolation to OSU fans...

  • I agree about wanting a good game, but the purpose of a championship is to have 1 and 2 play each other.  I don't know that you can make the argument that OSU should have been 2.  Yeah they won their conference, but both teams lost one game.  Bama lost to the #1 team and OSU lost to an unranked team.  This is just something that happens.

    stuff to consider...

    bammer didn't win their conference, didn't even win their division

    bammer has only beaten 3 DI teams with a winning record (Auburn, Arky, Penn State)

    their OOC schedule is super weak (Kent State, Penn State --only good one--, North Texas and Georgia Southern [1AA school])

    and their loss came at home while OSU's loss was on the road


    OSU won the Big 12 and beat 7 teams with a winning record, 3 of which were ranked opponents that they played on the road 

     

    eta: I get that bammer's loss is a "better" loss than OSU's but there are a lot of other factors here as well...

    Ditto.  OSUs one loss was, what, they day after their campus was rocked by the death of 2 coaches?  Plus, they lost in overtime.

    I have considered all of that, and I know that it was a tough decision.  I just think the people that say they" wanted OSU because Bama already had their chance" is not a great argument.  Ultimately, I just want a good game too; something that has not happened in recent years when another conference plays an SEC team.
