Why should they get another chance?


Because the BCS is about putting the two best teams in the title game. LSU was unanimously #1 and there were realistically only two options for #2. Alabama was believed to be the better team between them and OSU and so they got the ranking. In the end it turned out right.

You are literally sitting here asking why someone chose the correct choice between 2 options.

No. One. Else. With. One. Loss. Was. Better. That. Year.



By every single statistical measure, Oklahoma State was.

7 wins vs teams with winning records

Bama had 3

5 wins vs ranked teams

Bama had 3

Conference champs

Bama didn't win their division

Just because you THINK they were better doesn't make them better.

And yes, I feel like I just said this, too.

If you go back and look, I replied to all your posts directed at me. And quite frankly, there's nothing further to discuss. I won the argument, hands down.

If you had an ounce of logic or fairness in your body, then you wouldn't be defending the Do-Over bowl. So don't blame me.

You sure you want to stand by that statement? Think about it for a second and get back to me.

Also irrelevant (see above)

Oh, it doesn't matter what I THINK.

21-0 bore that out nicely.

ZERO points in a goddamn title game in your backyard. Les should have been hauled out back and shot.

And you wanna get mad at Bama for getting in

Yeah...the real tragedy was that the guards let Jefferson in. The REC must have snuck in Alabama guards or something.

Man I wish that before we were actually just handed the National Title by those corrupt people at the BCS/ACA we bought off that we would have actually been made to play a game to determine the winner. Perhaps they could have seeded this game 1 vs 2. They would have made a lot of money with a game like that. Perhaps even play it in the SuperDome which is a great neutral location in beautiful southern town.

Look at every single thing I posted below that.

They won their conference and had more wins against ranked and winning teams.

So, based on that, yes, I stand by it.

Life isn't fair.

Football games are.

LSU made the least of their opportunity to prove what a farce they thought it was that Bama even stepped on that field.

And now we laugh at people like you

So losing one game makes other wins irrelevant?

Wanna take a stab at how many quality wins Bama had before 1/9?

Before that game though, Jefferson had a resume of playing pretty well against us. Certainly better than Jarrett Lee

What you posted did not encompass "every single statistical measure". I can post team stats that would make you look incredibly foolish.

And I laugh at people that think 1-1 against an opponent makes them champion against that opponent when their resume is inferior.

You.

Apples and oranges.

If we are going on whole body of work and resume, then OKST deserved to be in the title game.

When that loss is to an unranked also-ran in an anemic conference, absofrickinglutely.

I know they didn't lose to an unranked team.
