Highlighting the stats of the BCS game certainly helps argue the case for that one being more impressive, if stats are what one is into.







Well, both were wins which is obviously the most important thing.

After that when trying to determine which win was more impressive, you really have to look at the stakes, the scores, and the stats. I think the Alabama win clearly gets the "most impressive" nod in all three of those categories. It doesn't seem like much of a debate really.

I'd say the stakes were the same in both games. No one expected the loser of Game 1 to get a shot at Game 2. I would also include environment on the list of things to consider. Game 1 was 90% pro bama, Game 2 was 50/50. Bama clearly wins on total points and total stats, but the environment was more favorable for bama and the stakes were the same. Also, being the loser going into a rematch is an advantage you have to consider.
