Not really. You play each game to win that game. Then you play the next one and try to win that one. Ideally, you win all of them.

But, I know for Bama fans, it's all 'bout them champeenships!

Every college football NC was determined by subjective polling of so-called "experts", either by picking the champion outright or deciding who gets to play for it.

Until you have a completely objective playoff system like the NFL, it's not really won on the field.

That includes the ones Auburn claims just as much as anyone else's

Too bad there's been a system in place since 98 that everyone agreed to play under.

I didn't agree to it, but nobody asked me.

All the BCS did was have the polls (and computers) pick #1 AND #2, instead of of just #1.

All the CFP does is let a committee pick #1-#4.

Still just as subjective as the poll system was.

The BCS and the playoff had/have nothing to do with determining who the real champion/best team is, they are all about generating publicity and TV $$$$$$$, and everyone knows it.

You know all you need to know about this guy based on his chosen screen name. Anyone who picks a derogatory slang version of their rival's name to use as part of their screen name is screaming "i'm obsessed with them".

You're not gonna "win" a post point with this guy unless it is something negative about Bama. Just let him think he has things his own ignorant way.

I don't like the NFL, and haven't for a long time.

That's one reason I don't like how CFB keeps trying be a junior NFL.

What did Bama fans do from 1992-2009?

using your time frame Bama won:

2 national titles (same as LSU)
3 SEC titles (same as LSU)
7 division championships (same as LSU)

Additionally, Bama went 9-9 against LSU during this stretch that was marked by such coaching icons as Mike DuBose (2-2 against LSU while also winning SEC), Denis Franchione (1-1 against LSU), and Mike Shula (0-4 against LSU...congrats, you really got the best of that clown).

So during what many will say - including you, apparently - was a horrible stretch for Bama, LSU was at best an even program to the Tide. Congrats, I guess.





Good post 13. Gotta mention one thing though.
LSU was pretty much "horrible" from 1989-1999 too (although we managed 2 of the 17 LSU victories in the OP timeline, 1993, and 1997, and we did have 3 winning seasons and bowl victories from '95-'97.)

A lot of crying about refs and threatening to leave the conference.

Oh, and sleeping.

It was nice.

Yea - we had some games when we were both pretty miserable (for our programs standards at least)

1998 : 6-3 Bama @ 4-5 LSU
2000 : 3-6 Bama @ 6-3 LSU
2001 : 5-3 LSU @ 3-5 Bama

1999 we won the sec... beat UF twice that year, we didn't even cry about them being on our schedule or a fricking rematch.


Looking back that was a nice accomplishment during that time UT/and UF were dominating the conference with UT being runner up more times than not.
