Its a pretty simple concept. The idea that home field advantage is the reason to keep Bama out of a rematch because they had a decided advanage is false.

There is statistical data that prove that winning the coin toss in overtime gives a decided advantage to the team that chooses to go on Defense first (see LSU). It is the reason a team like TCU went for 2 instead of going for overtime. The percentages of converting a 2 point conversion are greater than the percentages of kicking the extra point and winning/losing the coin toss in overtime
Why are you ignoring the statiscal data regarding home field advantage? Post that data.

You get more advantage winning the coin toss in overtime than you do playing on your home field.
Dumbest post ever by a gump, and believe me, when I tell you that's saying something. (I'm sure you have no data to link that coin toss gives more advantage than home field, or do you??)

You might as well quit. Corndogs don't have enough fingers and toes to start doing complex math like percentages.

Coin Toss winner has an advantage in overtime.
Why is this a hard concept to grasp? Whoever wins goes on defense first and gets to react. It's an equal advantage to getting the ball first in overtime in the NFL (oldstyle).
Coin Toss matters

How often does the home team win? Is that included in your math? Where did you get those percentages by the way?
Also, you do realize that 52/48 is considered a statistical dead heat? It's so close, that it would not even be considered if someone were trying to predict the winner of a college football overtime.

Hold on, that's wasn't your premise. You stated that it was MORE of an advantage than home field. Post a link that supports that premise, or face the abuse you deserve.

Jesus could you be a bigger pussy?
This is without a doubt the most pathetic excuse for Bama's loss I've seen. Congrat.

shite we're all happy. Only gotta play twelve games to get to the NCG. It worked out perfectly.
yeah that extra week to get rusty and fat while tuning Saban out is going to do wonders. He's already terrible after byes and in bowls, now we add a bye to the front of bowl prep. Saban might find a way to lose this bowl game twice.

I cant decide what would be better. OSU jumping Bama or Miles beating them again. Either way, it's gonna be a fun couple months.

Oh, and by the way, this is not statistically correct. Sorry.
But, still, coin toss?

Statistical dead heat? Depends on the sample size.

It really is a sweet deal. Avoid the risk of injuries in the SECC and relax for the BCSCG. That's how Bama rolls.

Winning the coin toss gives you a 52% shot at winning the game. If you compare every college overtime game. It's actually a 2.12% advantage in the first overtime drops to 2% in the second.
As for home field, the first article I pulled was this one with research from 1987-2007 (20 years).
In this study Bama actually had a negative home field advantage over that time.

I was speaking to your point about it being the same percentage wise as the NFL.
Coin toss.
