Another BCS rant

Yeah, thank God they don't put 6-6 teams in Conference championship games(if the Big 12 had one)..

It wouldn't have been a 6-6 team playing for the conference championship. If it were still set up like last year (and the many years past), it would have been #8 K-State (10-2) representing the Big 12 North vs. #3 OSU (11-1) representing the Big 12 South. I feel sure OSU would have beaten K-State (as they did earlier in the season). If so, it would have moved OSU into #2. Do you disagree?

I don't disagree, it probably would've moved them up. But then I would be claiming that the BCS got it wrong, because Alabama is the 2nd best team in the country, regardless of anything else, by far....

I disagree, but let's revisit this thread on January 10th

I know it's not the 10th yet, but can we revisit this now...

Congrats to Alabama and their fans. Although they are the National Champions, I still don't think it proves they're number one. LSU beat them once, they beat LSU once. I don't know about everybody else, but where I come from that means they're tied.

I still think OSU got robbed...and no, I am not an OSU fan.

If you combine the games, over 8 Q's and an OT, Bama outscored LSU 27-9..I've stated all along that I'm not a fan of either team, but these two are clearly the two best teams in the country. No other team in any of their games was close, and these two just slugged it out against each other...OSU can't make the same claim.. OSU lost to an un-ranked team, and only beat another unranked team by 1. No robbery here, OSU has no one to blame but themselves..

We'll never know for sure, but I honestly think that there's a significant drop off after Bama and LSU.

Also, if you run an NHL style point system awarding points for OT loss. Bama wins the series 3-2..
