Funny how the whole point is to get the two best teams into the championship game until the best team is one you don't like.

Doc, No one can dispute the outcome of the game. The fact that OSU was voted low to prevent them from being ranked #2 however is not. And OSU didn't get a vote? How the frick does that make sense. A coach with more on the line than the 2 best teams in the country gets a vote and LSU and OSU don't. yeah that is just fine dandy and full of unicorns and rainbows.
dis right hurr

Someone should have told that Florida and Bama in 1999.

It's not about the 2 best, it's about the 2 most deserving.

"Best" is a vauge and often difficult to define term that relies heavily upon individual biases. "Most Deserving" on the other hand forces people to actually use the resumes tho show what each team did that should warrant their inclusion in the game.

While I do agree constant flamers are a nuisance, 80% of posters here would be whacked if that is the parameter. Personally I think that's what makes this place better than all other football related discussion boards - there is a fair amount of freedom.

All other places are strictly anti-American if you ask me, and I'm not even a patriotic dude.


Trolling is one thing. A&M fans do that everyday and while it's annoying, it's internet.

Posting 21-0 in a thread which would be about something not even LSU related or constantly calling LSU football players, mainly TM, "piece of shite human beings" is clearly the other. I'd love to show you links but mainly all his posts were whacked because of the constant RA'ing they received.

Can you show me the empirical data which proves the 2 best. Oh and Sans the eyeball test and BCS since one is qualitative and the other has been lambasted to hell by just about everyone.

No.. It's about neither. It's simply to match up 1 vs. 2. We all know this. There is no criteria, just 1 vs. 2

Who cares? It's part of the BCS. Were there voters who put OSU 6th or not?

I see your point. I don't know enough about his post history to make a fair judgment. I retract me previous post about your detective work until further evaluation
