FACT:
I don't give a good mastodon plop about your stupid opinion.
Alabama should NOT have been in that game. Period.
End of story.
And the reason is simple media bias. Again, and this really IS a fact - SEVEN BCS voters actually DROPPED Oklahoma State to FIFTH OR SIXTH
""""""""""" AFTER """"""""" they won the Big 12 Title - after being all but assured that if they won convincingly over Oklahoma, they would make a VERY strong case (due to their conference title and SOS) to jump Alabama into the #2 slot.
Instead, they got DROPPED to FIFTH OR SIXTH ???????

""""""" THOSE SEVEN VOTES """"""" put Alabama into the BCSNCG, NOT that they were the "better team."





On the final weekend of the regular season, LSU routed Georgia 42-10 to win the SEC championship and clinch a berth in the national title game. A few hours later, Oklahoma State dismantled Oklahoma 44–10 to win the Big 12 title, assuring it of no worse than a bid in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl (which hosts the Big 12 champion unless it finishes in the top two of the BCS rankings). A week earlier, Alabama finished its season with a 42–14 flogging of Auburn. While Oklahoma State had seemingly been eliminated from title contention two weeks earlier, the Cowboys reentered the discussion with their convincing defeat of the Sooners. Ultimately, Oklahoma State had the second-highest computer average, while Alabama finished second in both human polls. The Tide's human-poll lead over the Cowboys was large enough to place them second in the final BCS rankings by only .0086 of a point—the smallest margin between No. 2 and No. 3 in BCS history[53]—sending them to the BCS title game against LSU and locking Oklahoma State into the Fiesta Bowl, in which they beat Stanford 41–38.
