re: Question regarding Kentucky/Bama upset possibility

but if you are asking what would happen if Kentucky is the bad we all assume they are, then Alabama would absolutely deserve to be passed over for a 1 loss Pac12 champ. "our loss is better" was the argument the tide had in 2011, what would the argument be now?

This is the thought behind the thread. If the argument wouldn't work for Bama in 2013, then it shouldn't work for OSU in 2011.

I don't think OSU fans actually think they were one of the 2 best teams in the country in 2011 (I mean they don't think it now with the benefit of retrospection. I'm sure they thought they were one of two best at the time).

Basically, it is an old, tired argument that some (read: LSU fans) cling to in any thread that mentions 2011, Bama championships, top programs, etc.
