Winning your conference is not a prerequisite to playing in the BCSCG.
And individual fan opinions don't really factor in deciding who plays in championship games.
And your avatar really is terrible - why the frick does AJ have a chicken nugget hanging off of his ear? Really bad photoshop job and it screams "I'm obsessed with Alabama and Nick Saban". Just an FYI.

Yet you continue to hammer the "mulligan" point in practically every post you've made in this thread. Do you always send mixed messages to guys, or just on Internet message boards?
If you couldn't guess, I was kidding there.

I assume you have something other than a pundit's opinion to back this up, right? A timeline? Links? Any facts at all?

OSU did NOT get a fair shake
No, OSU lost to a cupcake. Their women's water polo coach or something died. Both of these are unfortunate parts of life.

I give Bama credit for doing what they had to do and getting the win, not sure how that makes me a sore loser.
What makes you a sore loser is that you're hammering the same tired series of "points" that you probably were eleven months ago. They're boring now.

And no, LSU 07 was completely different than Bama 2011 in that LSU actually DID win the SEC and Bama did not.
Since you cited Mark May as the end-all and be-all of determining who deserves to go where in the college football postseason, did he also tell you that '07 LSU 'deserved' to go to the NCG over '11 Alabama? You lost to Kentucky and an Arkansas team whose coach was in the process of being fired for frick's sake! Everyone grumbled about LSU going for a few minutes then just shrugged and accepted it.

I think LSU would have gotten in regardless of the SECCG. They had an amazing body of work with wins over Oregon, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Alabama.
It's entirely possible, but I think the loss might have come too late for LSU to recuperate in the BCS standings. OSU would have leapfrogged them in the computers.

But the opinions of sports writers and coaches out there that do not watch the games does matter. And all they saw was a 24/7 ESPN lobby for a rematch. I don't blame Bama for it, hell, they were right in wanting it. But an unbiased media outlet should not do this.

It's a teabag! It was after the game last year. I've already explained why it's still there. Gotta find a new one.Posted on 11/5/12 at 10:45 pm to BamaChick

It would go a long way toward making the discourse more civil if Cali would go ahead and change her avatar.
Perhaps I could suggest a new one?
I kid, I kid.

My feeling on all of it is that the BCS is supposed to pit the Top 2 teams together (NOT the best 2 in someone's opinion due to the "eye test
Well you are wrong again and terribly misinformed. The job of the BCS is to pit the number 1 and number 2 ranked teams in the final BCS poll against each other.

Seriously? Because it's not.
All you have to do is be ranked #1 or #2 at the end of the regular season. That's it. Alabama was ranked in the top 2. Done.
There are no other requirements and Alabama is not the first team to go to the BCSCG without being their conference champion.
If LSU hadn't shite the bed against UF, we might be seeing a repeat IF KState, ND, and Oregon were to lose.
But LSU lost and one of the above teams will remain undefeated.
But that's history and anyone still obsessed with that game needs to quit living in the past.

Yet none of you seem to realize I was responding to a Bama fan when he started bragging about the 3 titles in 4 years (which aren't had yet) in justifying why Bama is so superior to LSU. I don't see it that way...Bama was LUCKY to get in last year. And who did they play? LSU. Both championship caliber teams IMO. Thus back to the topic of this thread that LSU/Bama is a competitive game every year that usually leads to championships. Hope it stays that way

That's why I wondered why OSU didn't leapfrog Bama since they smashed Oklahoma in their championship game while Bama was at home...

Exactly...and OSU should have been #2 had the voters marked ballots a slight bit differently. Isn't this correct (trying to remember last year)?

OSU and OU didn't play in a championship game - that was a regular season game.
You really need to get the right facts together before declaring your "opinion".

As far as Okie State is concerned, I need to further address this death excuse for their team losing, and I'll do it with a little history lesson. Gather round, kiddies.
On November 14, 1970, Southern Airways Flight 932 crashed into a hill, killing everyone on board.
Among the passengers were the vast majority of the Marshall University football team and coaches. The remainder of their games for the year were cancelled because they didn't exactly have a football team left to field.
It was a horrific tragedy -- one Marshall would never fully recover from as a football program.
On January 1, 1971, an 8-3 Stanford team played the Ohio State Buckeyes -- who were 9-0 -- in the Rose Bowl Game. Stanford won by a score of 27-17, puncturing the Buckeyes' undefeated season.
Should the Rose Bowl committee have invited the remnants of the Marhsall team -- volunteers and walk-ons -- to the game as an exposition of pity, only for the Buckeyes to run the scoreboard into triple digits on them?
Now, I will admit that I am engaging in bit of fanciful hyperbole. The 1970 Marshall team was nowhere near as successful as the 2011 OSU team, but the point remains valid; we don't award pity points when deciding on post-season play. It doesn't mean that we don't feel empathy for them. The two ideas do not necessarily go hand-in-hand.

FACT: OSU won the Big 12 last year by defeating Oklahoma 44-10 in Bedlam. Furthermore, thoughts were if OSU outright stomped Oklahoma they could get into BSC NCG.
