2011 LSU season greatest of all time


21-0 First and only BCS team to be shut out in the championship game.

First and only 2nd place in division and 3rd place in conference team to be given do-over by the media and a faction of BCS Human Poll Voters and Coaches who made sure the more deserving 12-1 Conference Champion did not make it to the title game by voting them FIFTH OR SIXTH in the BCS.

And WHYYYY did they vote Okie State FIFTH OR SIXTH, when every other voter had them 2nd or 3rd (except Saban who had them 4th) ???
For TV ratings. Okie State didn't have 'the name' and wasn't 'glamorous' enough. Let's make a do-over and get more ratings!
According to the BCS, the team with the stronger SOS and higher votes would give them more points.

What is UNBELIEVABLE to me is that this was allowed. A handful of people who purposely voted the more deserving team THREE OR FOUR SPOTS LOWER than everyone else did - did in effect decide who would play in the NCG.

And no one did a thing about it.
