re: Let's have a look back at the BCS days (1998-2013)

Okie State's offensive scheme was to spread you out and "out-athlete" opponents in space. That would have earned them a beatdown by that LSU team.

Totally agree with this, which is the REAL reason so many LSU fans scream that Okie St. should have been in that game. Most know deep down that Bama and LSU were far and away the two best teams in the country in 2011, but they would be fine with Bama having been left out since it would have meant OSU was in and LSU would have beaten Okie St (as would have Bama).

Bama had to play a dominant game on 1/9 or risk a split with the BCS to Bama and the AP to LSU. Bama removed all doubt by holding LSU under 100 yards on O and only allowing across the 50 once all night (with under 9 minutes to go in the game and only for 3 plays).
