why was Bama in that game to begin with?
I don't think anyone doubts that Alabama was the best team in 2011. But when you stacked their actual resume up with Oklahoma State from that year, OSU honestly appeared, to me at least, to be more deserving. I think the "eye ball test" was way to heavily weighted that year.
It also seems very unfair that LSU had to play an extra game against Georgia in the SECCG, which theoretically could have knocked them out of the NCG should they have slipped up, while Alabama, simply because they LOST to LSU, got to take the week off and didn't have to risk anything.
The whole situation was kind of awkward.

That's all just too bad.

If LSU lost to Georgia, the likelyhood of LSU playing Oklahoma St in the title game was better
