The saddest thing I've ever read... by MykTide

Looking back, the BCS had it right that year. The 2 best teams played for the national championship. The better team won.

That's your opinion, and all the rest of your state's.
FACT:
Actually, SEVEN "Human Poll and Coaches Poll" BCS Voters actually DROPPED Oklahoma State from 2nd or 3rd in all the polls to FIFTH OR SIXTH - """""""""""""""" A F T E R """""""""""""""" they destroyed former #1 Oklahoma by 5 touchdowns in the Big 12 Title Game.
FACT:
Oklahoma State's SOS was monumentally stronger than Alabama's. SOS was SUPPOSED to be a BCS criterium and BCS points calculator. Evidently not that year.
FACT:
Alabama, the third place SEC team who lost at home, was moved ahead of a Conference Champion with a much stronger SOS, whose only loss was on the road on a controversial FG that was called good.
FACT:
Nearly Year-long #1 LSU, who had outscored a schedule that included 4 Top 5 teams and 9 bowl teams to the tune of 500-123, was "rewarded" by having to travel to Atlanta to play Top 10 Georgia in the SECCG.
Oklahoma State, who had been ranked in several polls as #2 or #3 or #4, was "rewarded" by having to play former #1 Oklahoma to decided the Big 12 Title.

Meanwhile, third place SEC Alabama watched the games in their Skoal-stained drawers sipping moonshine from their couches, while their coach moaned and whined and complained that the BCS rules should be altered just for Bama just for this game.

No matter that Michigan did not get the same do-over mulligan vs Ohio State in the 2007 BCSNCG.

But, because it's Bama, it's Ok.

You know what?, go jump in a cesspool.
