I can't believe LSU fans are actually trying to argue that Okie State clearly had the better team and better resume.




They may not have had the better team, but, according to the SUPPOSED BCS formulas, Oklahoma State had the better resume:

OSU played more ranked teams
OSU had an overall stronger SOS
OSU won the championship of their conference
OSU's only loss was on the road in OT.

OSU was also told they all they had to do was 'destroy' Oklahoma and win the Big 12 Title and they would be assured of going to the NCG.

Well they did this. Only problem is, a faction of BCS 'Human Poll Voters' and Coaches voted Oklahoma State....."""""""""""F I F T H"""""""" OR """""""""""" S I X T H """""""""", when every other voter had them second or third !!!!

For whatever reason, this group of people voted CLEARLY the third (if not second) best team FIFTH OR SIXTH. Why ?????????????
They had just slaughtered former #1 Oklahoma by 5 touchdowns, they won their confernece title, and they were 12-1. Their SOS was stronger and they played more winning and bowl teams than Bama.
And you vote them FIFTH OR SIXTH ??????????????

How some of these yahoos got the right to vote in the BCS is mystifying - yet THEY decided who played LSU on Jan. 9 - and they alone....

Even Saban voted OSU FOURTH..... (no doubt to make sure he didn't appear 'biased' which of course he was.)

Biggest Reason: If LSU would have played Okie St., they would have another National Title.

You really!!!!!! Really!!!!!!!!!!!!REALLY!!!!!!!!!!! MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! aren't you????????????


Who the frick told them this? and how can someone "assure" a team that they will get in the BCSCG. Fact is they can't,

Plus, the Big12 was and is way fricking overrated, which is why they had more "ranked" wins than Bama. Their SOS being higher is Joke as well, same flawed computers programs that had their conference rated higher created their bogus overrated B21 SOS.

Even with all of that and their obvious overratedness(yeah I made that up) they would have still given Bama a better game than LSU did, so you're right, they might should have played in the BCSCG vs BAMA.
