For being horrible, they were ranked all year long until losing the last few.

Kansas St. is also very good. Undoubtedly they should be in the Sugar Bowl instead of Virginia Tech...that is a joke. The ACC is a joke when it comes to football these days, and I'm a Maryland fan.

You are easy to figure out though. Rather than try to figure out good wins by Alabama, you deflect. They had 1.5 decent wins...Arkansas and 1/2 for Penn St.

I was trying to be reasonable and give them a half, but yes, they stink. Texas and OU would beat them.

However, there were extenuating circumstances in place for OSU and their body of work in 2011 altogether was damn good. Alabama had an excellent season and struggled with no one on their schedule when victorious.

There have been many years where the results and the subsequent BCS decision made it abundantly clear that a new system is needed. This year is another example as both OSU and Alabama deserve a shot to play for a championship.

Then what about a team like Wisconsin who lost twice on hail mary type plays/finishes. Dont they have a beef also, they want on to avenge one of there losses and win the Big Ten title.

Yup I get the emotional time for the school talk, I really do. They were still 31 point favorites. My point is this.... Whos loss is better Bama or OK ST? I dont even think there can be an argument to that question.

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.

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.

you aren't supposed to just consider the one loss. from what i've heard/read, ok st had a tougher overall schedule. they also played one game more than bama, and won a traditionally tough game that they lose far more often than they win. they really took it to okla the other night. voters are supposed to pay attention to the season-much like eclipse voters, they evidently only pay attention to a big matchup.

Im really not sure why everyone keeps talking about OK St schedule, basicley everyone sucked this year other then the SEC. Everyone was down. Back to the OK ST loss. I bet the game its in the upset special thread. I bet Iowa St. I saw every play. I get the tragedy the day before and its very sad, it was a great loss to the program. But OK St was a 31 point favorite. Even if they bring there C game, they are supposed to win. The QB had at least 3 interceptions, I was not impressed.

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