You people act like Bama jumped a bunch of teams to get in. Revisionist history to cope with the arse whipping I guess. We maintained our #2 ranking for several weeks prior. Oklahoma State lost to a 6-6 Iowa State team in week 12.

Bama actually lost at home in a regular season game
You are trying to justified a win in an exhibition game at a neutral site

The loss to Iowa State?
was embarrassing for sure.
But they didn't get the nod because they are not Oklahoma or Texas. They're Oklahoma State. a 11-1 OU or Texas with that resume would have gone on to play LSU

A golden age on this forum. The cockiness of LSU fans going into that game was downright hilarious.
Gumps calling other fans cocky.
This is like New Orleans residents telling folks in other cities, "damn, your mayor is a dumbass."

As to the game itself, I think it became obvious who the best team that year was.
This is absolutely bullshite and is the reason people hate Bama fans so much. God forbid they admit anyone can ever be as good as their team.
Les Miles put in the worst national championship game coaching performance I've ever seen. That team was held back by the HC and that's a damn shame.
And Nick Saban did not come out with the same gameplan. He came out with McCarron tossing it around and Bama's offense executed extremely well early on, giving them a big advantage with early lead in a defense heavy matchup. LSU's offensive gameplan was beyond inept. And there were no halftime adjustments. 3 and outs, turnovers, and a complete and utter loss of the field position battle were all totally on the offense and allowed Alabama to grind our defense down with the lead.
It was criminal what LSU's offense did to our D that night. That game is all on Les Miles. No excuse to lose 21-0 in that game with that LSU team.
Those teams were very evenly matched talent wise. LSU was just flat out outcoached. That's the value of Nick Saban.

They should have lost to Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl, too. If not for Shaw playing it safe and going for the field goal instead of the TD, Okie State would have had two losses instead of one and there wouldn't be any doubt who the better team was.

Sorry Bammers I'm only paying attention to and talking about baseball right now. Sorry that we're good at other sports unlike you guys, who are only good at one sport.

It was a 21-0 mauling in the heart of Louisiana on the biggest stage in college football for the entire world to see how much better Bama was.
Beautiful.

Maybe, maybe not. The loss to a bad ISU team would still be a lot to overcome.

Clearly. So focused that you felt the need to jump in on page 5 to let everyone know.

I dunno brah. I don't think Les Miles was magically morphed into the "Honey Badger" and getting smoked left and right. I still remember Musburger saying "Honey Badger better care about that one" after he got beat on 3 plays in 1 drive.
The players for Bama wanted it more and just beat the LSU players on that given night. LSU blames everything on their coaches, it's kinda comical.
That is unless Lennie Fornettical sucks and then it's the offensive lines fault.

The offensive plan was pretty bad, but let's not act like LSU had a QB that had much success against Alabama. In Lee's career, he almost threw more interceptions than completions against Alabama.

McCarron threw the ball a grand total of six more times in the national championship game as opposed to the first game in Bryant-Denny. The difference? He completed the passes the second go around. We had been throwing the ball on first down all year. What LSU's defense saw in that second game was nothing they hadn't seen before.

That was the difference. Execution. In the first game we didn't execute nearly as well and beat ourselves with stupid penalties as we got deep into LSU territory. We only had one penalty all night long in New Orleans.

Pretty obvious LSU shouldn't have been there. Remember:
you crossed the fifty ONE TIME in that game. ONCE.
You had 92 yards of total offense that game.
You got outgained 384 - 92!
Bama had 21 first downs to your 5 (LSU had more punts than first downs by a 9-5 margin)
LSU went 2-12 on 3rd down.
Bama outgained you on the ground 150 - 39
You. Got. Dominated. Period. And you've not beaten Bama since. That has to sting.

The year the the committee decided to shite itself and give the national championship to the team that lost at home to the team they're playing.
With every psychological advantage to one side, the national championship was gifted to the team that already gets unlimited advantages.

I don't think there was a committee in 2011.

Alabama's game plan was much the same as it was the first time around
They went after Mathieu early and often in the second game. They found the matchup with him in the slot and repeatedly threw those corner routes.

Definitely wasn't. It was the BCS. I'm sure they'll bitch about that but completely forget that it was the SAME BCS that put the fricksquad 2 loss LSU team in their previous national championship.

It was standard BCS formula
The Harris voters gave it to Alabama. Coaches was really close. Oklahoma State was #2 in computer polls
