What I don't understand from everyone is about UA's schedule being weak, it may of well have been but lets say Alabama and LSU had swapped schedule's and UA beat everyone but LSU and lost 9-6. Would there be as big of a problem from the OSU people. Here is a look at the Common Opponents from Alabama and LSU this year.

UA LSU
24-7 Miss State 19-6
38-10 Florida 41-11
42-14 Auburn 45-10
38-14 Arkansas 41-17
37-6 Tennessee 38-7
52-7 Ole Miss 52-3

This may be the very reason the people at ESPN think these teams are the best in the Country. If LSU is a head above everyone else what does that make Bama . I for one don't think Bama will beat LSU in NOLA, because LSU has gotten better since Nov 5th, and im not sure about Alabama but I know UA would absolutely Disembowel OKie Lite.
Okie Lite Loses to Unranked ISU 37-31 in OT
Alabama loses to #1 L.S.U 9-6 in OT
These losses are not even close to similar

It's not the SEC teams... C'mon man. Of course we played a near identical SEC schedule. Everyone knows the SEC is tough week in and week out.

@WVU
@Alabama (we won so we can count it)

We're undefeated though. Our SOS doesn't matter because we're the only major conference team who hasnt lost a game

We compare Bama and Okie State's resume because those teams both have a loss. Okie State's resume (if they beat OU) will be undeniably better than yours. Hence they are more deserving to go to the BCSCG than Bama.

The wins aren't either...compared to the other team. And the next post is based entirely on the assumption that Okie State beats OU.

The reason there is even a small debate is that the competing teams for the #2 slot do not have anything to compare. There is no head to head. So they go to schedule. Yes, Alabama is dominant in its wins. Yes, Alabama lost to #1 in OT at home. And based on overall talent, we all assume Bama is the second best.

But just take a glance at Okie State. They have similar margins of victory against a more competitive (according to computers) schedule. The loss to Iowa State on the road in 2 OT is awful. But they do have quality wins whether we believe it or not.

It is a long shot at best that Okie State gets in. But there are games to be played. Let's see how they turn out before declaring or eliminating any teams.

Agree. Bama second best team and that LSU has had time to improve with more reps by Jefferson. Think it will be good game but tigers win going away in 4th

OSU lost to weak team prob don't even beat OU this weekend

National media looks down on the SEC this year from top to bottom compared to the Big 12.

They state the SEC is top heavy while the Big 12 is better overall.
