LSU vs Bama

Alabama is the villain this year. Good. Explain how one conference can win 5 BCS championships in a row. Then ponder how Alabama can lose the majority of their offense from last year and still be so damn good.

You should be thankful Oklahoma State isn't playing LSU. NO SHOT. It would never happen. Just enjoy your game against so and so and stfu and watch the two best teams in CFB play in Nawlins.

Already saw it, what I could stay awake through anyway.

The cowpokes have a 40 year old quarterback that folded against a scrub school. They deserve no shot at a BCS championship.

Boring games can happen when you're dealing with two outstanding defenses. And lets be honest the Big 12 is lacking this year in a strong, CONSISTENT defensive team.

You can throw all the stats in existence but the fact remains OK State s.hit the bed against a peon. Good defenses don't lose to bottom dwellers with no history of success.

i didn't find the lsu/bama game boring at all. guess that's just me. but then, some people enjoy both offenses scoring back and forth, with 48/47 final scores an exciting game to them. not me. that game was a brutal battle from start to finish. might not have caused a lot of cheering throughout the game, but it was riveting.


as an aside regarding boise st..with them moving into the big east, with an auto bcs bid for the conference winner, will they still be complaining about the system when they go to the fiesta bowl??? doubt it.

The defenses are good, but the offenses are average at best. It isn't like only great defense kept the score down.

Whenever there is an SEC school with a good offense the defense usually is forgotten. Florida, LSU and Bama had outstanding defenses for their recent past championship runs. You can say Auburn last year had a defense that would equal or better any Big 12 team.

I understand your points. The reality is a playoff system wouldn't make much difference. SEC is the premier conference and would perform extremely well in a 4 or 8 team playoff.

For now we're stuck with this annoying system where inferior programs like Boise State can b.itch and moan about life not being fair. Well that's a better option than a playoff system where they would be exposed.

i don't think our running game is average. reuben randle is a top receiver in the ncaa. i think at that game lee just collapsed-perhaps he knew by then he was about to be declared academically ineligible? at any rate, not a good day for him. so they turned to jefferson, who hadn't had a whole lot of playing time up to that point. i think we'll have a better showing this time around. jefferson is not a top qb, but he's adequate. i think tho that the rest of the offensive is better than average.

Our? Which team do you play for? Please tell me you are at least an alum. Here in Oklahoma half the "fans" can't even find OU on a map.

If we had a QB that was good enough to turn loose with the offensive weapons we had over the last 3 years, we could have throttled the competition.

Ncaa total points scored average: Boise 43, LSU 38, Bama 36

Ncaa total points allowed average: Bama 9, LSU 10, Boise 18

Isn't it painfully obvious what matters the most here, and obviously the offensive averages for LSU and Bama include the 9-6 game against each other.

They also include the 52-3(LSU) and 52-7 (Alabama) games against the girls team from Ole Miss lol

They also include games against those powerhouses Ole Miss and Tennessee. As I've said elsewhere, in a system where nobody really knows who is best, why should one team get two chances? It is ridiculous.

Kinda what I have been saying about OK St for 3 months now.

Yes, because we all know the favorite wins every game in sports. Guess what, sometimes the best team doesn't even win...shocking I know.

I dont think anyone is making Alabama out to be the villain. It is how we got to Alabama is what people are wondering about. I agree that the 2 best teams surely could be the 2 teams playing in the championship which in theory is how it is supposed to be but in every other sport we get there on the the field not in mysterious polls. The biggest joke concerning the BCS this year isn't even the final game, it is having Va Tech in the Sugar bowl

Agreed. My only real problem is over and over we hear that the great thing about the BCS is that it makes every game matter. They say it is almost like March Madness all year in football. In this case, we get a rematch where the team that lost AT HOME had their shot.

Why shouldn't someone else get one now? I'm not even arguing that they aren't the second best team, or even the best. Everyone can trot out statistics and opinions, but none of it matters. You only get real results on the field.

I really dont understand the theory that the BCS makes every game count. Like before the BCS the big schools still felt free to schedule non conference teams like Alabama did this year (Ga Southern, North Texas, Kent State) and you still needed to be undefeated or have an early season loss to have a chance to be number 1(unless you are an SEC team). The problem I have is that not only arent the games between the top team decided on the field but the "scientific" methods that the BCS uses are a joke. If you had a 4 or 8 or 16 team playoff it is as though you wouldn't have 4-8 teams getting in. It isnt like a loss wont hurt you either in getting in or in seeding. In theory the BCS makes only regular season games between the top 4 or 5 teams important anyway.

It is all propoganda so that the commissioners of the SEC, Big 10, ACC and Pac 12 can control the power and money in college football.

That pretty much sums it up.
