Maybe conference strength should factor in the prior year's bowl results. Sort of like a preseason ranking.

Which Bama has received a pass on BTW

Do you think the Pac whatever number it is now's best teams are better than us? I bet you don't. And the main reason for that is because LSU put that penis on Oregon, who went on to win that conference.
Where did I make an assumption that I thought some conference or team was better?
That's exactly what I'm waiting to be seen proven in the bowls. What teams and what conferences were really the strongest after all.

Great so let's discount the Bamtards 09 season

They are saying one of the main factors in Bama getting in was both SOS and resume (specifically the loss). If you take away SOS, resume and conference strength, then OSU goes since the only other fact would be conference championship. You get that right?

You didn't. That's why I said, "I bet".
However. If you don't think the SEC's best teams are better than the Pac 12's, then what the hell is Bama doing in the title game?

You're really not getting this. I guess it's my fault. I guess I didn't use the right wording.

I think he's also saying that S.O.S alone shouldn't determine who goes. The only thing OSU supporters can say is "oh this is complete bullshite we had a tougher S.O.S." S.O.S alone alone should't be as important as some of y'all think.

You just said you know I did't assume anything. And there you go again.

"We have the better resume."

These arguments are dumb!
Except for that's how the BCS has been selecting teams for the last 13 years, based off of resumes and a team's entire body of work.
It just so happens that the two teams with the best body of work usually tend to be the two "best" teams as well.
Suddenly that all changed this year. I wonder why.

Exactly. A little better.
Like all the ranked Big 12 teams. They're that high because we assume the Big 12 is a great league. What if they get their arse handed to them in the bowl games though? What would the perception of the Big 12 be then?

Which if S.O.S wasn't the only factor, Ok State most likely would have gotten in for winning its conference, since both teams lost in overtime and bama would of already had its chance against lsu.

You sure do make a lot of shitty threads.

We get it. You think Bama's weak SOS shouldn't matter. It doesn't, because LSU played a killer SOS and then beat Bama by just 3. Bama then was able to point to LSU's SOS.

Sorry buddy, but you're missing my point. You either think one or the other. That the Pac-12 is worse than the SEC, so Bama deserves it's spot. (My feeling.) Or that they are equal to/greater than the SEC, in which case LSU should be rematching with Oregon. You don't think absolutely nothing, regardless of attempting to support your OP.

I think you were thinking that you thought you were smart in thinking that you could out- or over-think this board and use subtle stuff to make us think you thought you had thought of something we hadn't thought of yet.

I made a thread like this a little while ago but couldn't fend off the "9-6 bitch" comments alone. I really think the only reason everyone argued the S.O.S thing so hard was because they didn't want the rematch. Just like some Alabama fans tried to convince people that PSU was the shite. I never remember S.O.S being the number 1 argument for a BCS title. It's always been who has the worst loss. S.O.S is obviously important but it isn't the end all be all that anti Alabama/rematch people want it to be this year.

Which is why they don't call it strength of wins, but strength of schedule. Your loss is a part of you S.O.S

Every LSU fan in this is still trying to make this about Alabama getting into the game over OSU.
I'm using teams as examples. I was asking everyone to look at the conferences and the perception of each one..
Obviously this thread failed because everyone just wants to flame.
9-6 right?
