The selection of Alabama was controversial, and decried by writers such as Rick Reilly, and by fans who claimed other opponents, most prominently the Oklahoma State Cowboys (who finished second in most of the computer rankings), were more deserving of a spot in the game. The controversy lent support to the ever-increasing call for a college football playoff and supposed SEC bias, specifically with regard to Alabama.

This thread is so fricking sad. All it needs is lsu fans talking about if Patrick Peterson was in bounds.

The thread is pretty sad.

All it needs is UTa fans talking about their team as though it was relevant in any appreciable way, in any significant sport.

Doesn't alter that the All-SEC BCS title game was what ended the BCS.
quote:LINK
The "rematch" bowl increased calls for a requirement that for any team to qualify for the national championship game, they must also have won their conference championship, either shared or outright. This idea was part of the discussions held after the end of the 2011 season as the BCS discussed changes for the next BCS cycle and contract period.
Also for the first time, the idea of a "plus one" playoff was also discussed by the 13 conference athletic directors and Notre Dame's athletic director as they began to realize that the public opinion regarding a playoff had reached such a state that inaction might result in government action, based on the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

I find it hilarious that you call Chicken's opinion "propaganda" and "fake news", but you can't see the hypocrisy in what Bama has been doing with their fake claims for all these years.

And Notre Dame or any of the big 10 schools in the middle of the Rust Belt or any left coast university crying over bias is both hypocritical and hilarious. They enjoyed and controlled decades worth of media bias to a favorable end for themselves.
2011 was the straw that broke the camel's back for the BCS, but it was not the start of the movement for a playoff. Momentum for a playoff had been building for some time, and the two loss LSU champ played a role in it ... as well as an Auburn team that was left out.
It was an imperfect system and people complained enough to make change. However, there are no perfect systems and change is always inevitable.

...so Alabama proceeds to play in EVERY playoff...winning HALF of them, while playing in 3 out of 4 finals!Posted on 4/3/18 at 10:06 am to Chicken
So in conclusion, you are saying that Alabama has more legit national titles than the rest of the SEC combined? 
Thanks for the confirmation of Alabama's dominance over the SEC specifically and college football in general.
RTR Chicken!

I just don't understand the hatred and jealousy. Alabama will never have the NC's that LSU does in baseball but I don't give 2 fricks. It's sad.

Auburn played a MUCH bigger role in the eventual playoff than any team in football by a large margin. It didn't start with being left out in 2004 though that did immediately change the computer weighting in the formula.
The first discussion for a playoff started with the biggest hose job ever in college footballs MNC race over 20 years before AU in 2004.
1983 was the year. More publications and computers picked AU than any other team and it was pretty obvious AU was the champ in 1983 despite the media push for the orange bowl to be the defacto national championship game. Sports Illustrated, which was huge and influential back then before the internet and rise of ESPN called for a college football playoff in their issue immediately after the bowls and SI made the case that Auburn was the real champ. Article used to be online in the SI vault, probably still is.

School (# of Legit Titles)...Title Seasons
Alabama (7): 1978, 1992, 2009, 2011*, 2012, 2015, 2017*
Florida St (3): 1993, 1999, 2013
Ohio State (3): 1968, 2002, 2014
LSU (2): 2003, 2007
Florida (2): 2006, 2008
Nebraska (2): 1971, 1995
Penn State (2): 1982, 1986
Texas (2): 1963, 2005
USC (2): 1962, 2004
Miami (FL) (2): 1987, 2001
Auburn (1): 2010
Clemson (1): 2016
Oklahoma (1): 2000
Tennessee (1): 1998
So, UGA does not have a NC... Since we know polls are biased, why accept any voter picked NC. That leaves us with on the College Football Playoff. Does LSU deserve credit for 2003?

...and if you really want to fire them up just mention the fact that Alabama leads their series in baseball, too.

Agreed - this thread is awesome. Since the OP Alabama has continued to rack up titles under the Chicken ranking system while the rest of the SEC looks on from a distance. You know it pains Chicken just a little to have to keep updating Alabama's number every other year.

This argument is horrendous. That said, I would absolutely love to see your flow chart that starts with that 1983 SI story, and leads ultimately to the commencement of the playoff in 2014.
