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.

our as in lsu. sorry, didn't know i couldn't use 'our'. and i can find it on a map; i'm pretty good at geography. and when i'm a fan, i'm a fan. hell, i still pull for the skins after all these years even tho i can't stand the owner and the team has sucked for some time.
closest any of us got to being an alum was my youngest; he was offered a scholarship but went navy instead.

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 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.
