Why Oklahoma State is more deserving of a title shot than Bama

[KNUBB]

Either opponent would end in a double digit victory in favor of the Tigers.

The BCS is comprised of 1/3 computer polls, and 2/3 human polls. The "BCS" portion of the BCS sides with Oklahoma State. The idiot voters fell for the GAME OF THE CENTURY THESE ARE THE TWO BEST TEAMS narrative and did not drop Alabama enough after their home loss, and now are stuck with egg on their face as they are the last team standing.

I don't think that is the most precise way to determine that they are the second best team.

Ill make the case for Alabama. Not only are all their wins by huge margin, while Okla State barely survived Texas A&M, but they came extremely close to beating LSU, the consensus best team. People act like LSU stomped Alabama and made it clear they are better, that game went to overtime and coulda gone either way. If Alabama had won, id be making the same case for LSU being better than Okla State.

I believe this as well.

27-13 LSU over Alabama
42-17 LSU over Oklahoma State

Margin of victory? Really? Who cares what they did against over matched opponents? They have beaten THREE teams with winning records. Meanwhile OSU has the 5th hardest schedule.

I like to look at how close each team came to losing. Aside from Alabama's loss, they never came close to losing...aside from Okla State's loss, they narrowly beat Texas A&M by 1 point, and barely beat Kansas State in a 52-45 shootout. I would agree with the "idiot voters" that Alabama is #2 in the country.

That's rather stupid.

Alabama played teams like Kent State and North Texas out of conference and in conference Florida, Tennessee and Auburn were terrible this season. Those are bad teams.

...aside from Okla State's loss, they narrowly beat Texas A&M by 1 point, and barely beat Kansas State in a 52-45 shootout. I would agree with the "idiot voters" that Alabama is #2 in the country.

Kansas State is 10-2 and pretty damn good. They'll be a force in their bowl game. And Texas A & M was playing well at the time that game was played. They have unraveled since then but you make it seem like every game is played in a vacuum and robotic players should just win by the same margin of victory every time or else they suck.

They were playing better teams. This is the same argument SEC homers like myself use every year and now that it's the reverse nobody is willing to accept it.

Fuck Alabama's margin of victory like Eddie Murphy's couch. They played North Texas, Kent State, Georgia Southern, the 4th best team in the Big Ten and a conference slate that included Ole Miss, Miss State, Vanderbilt, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee.

That is 9 poop dick opponents in 12 games.

Why I want LSU to face Bama in the NC.

A better game, a better chance LSU loses. I want the NC to be between the two best teams in the country. And IMO Bama and LSU are the two best teams in the country.

 

[KNUBB]

Is this what it's like to talk to Nahste and I? The difference is Nahste and I are usually right and you guys are haters, but the gumps are really retarded

I see Alabama as the mirror image of LSU. I think the fact the LSU-Bama game was so close & narrowly decided backs this up.

Except LSU has actually played other good teams this year.

You know what would eliminate all these what-ifs?

A fucking playoff.

Well your opinion doesn't matter. It's all about what LSU fans claim to be right.

 

[Irish]

I mean I would love a playoff. You get what you earn on the field. That is the most honest and true way to crown a champion in competitive sports. How many championship games in all sports are usually decided between the expected two best teams in the country?

But the BCS isn't about that. It is about putting the two best teams in country against each other for the NC. And most people think LSU and Bama are the two best teams in the country(myself included). So that is why they are playing each other.

Again all this BS could be fixed with a playoff so no one has to debate semantics.

But under this system LSU and Bama is answer for who plays in the NC.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

When Oklahoma State loses to Oklahoma, all of you will be saying Houston, Stanford, Boise, or Virginia Tech should get in over Alabama.

I thought this was about what Alabama fans thought was right but had no actual on-field performances to support their case?

This is how I view this conversation as a non-LSU or Alabama fan

Them - "Okie st has played a better schedule
Bama fans - "YEAH BUT WE BEAT WORSE TEAMS BY MORE!
Them - "Yeah but those teams suck"
Bama Fans - "DID YOU SEE HOW BAD WE BEAT OUR OPPONENTS THOUGH?!?!"
Them - Yeah but those teams sucked and Okie st actually beat better opponents
Bama Fans - "I feel like we are better"
Them - "I know Okie st has played a better schedule and has the same W-L and Alabama has already lost to LSU"
Bama Fans - "I THINK WE ARE THE SECOND BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY!!!"
Them - "What have you done to proof this"
Bama Fans - "LOOK AT OUR PAST CHAMPIONSHIPS!"
Them - "LOL"
Zoneblitz - "Instead of viewing quality wins... LETS LOOK AT HOW CLOSE TEAMS WERE TO LOSING!!!"

I don't know if this has been said, but what if LSU loses then plays Alabama in the NC game? Then you would have two teams that didn't even win their own conference playing in a NC game. No offense to you LSU fans out there, but I woukd love to see that just to have more ammunition vs this BCS shit show..

LOL i never said not to look at quality wins. But i consider the quality wins to be about equal up this point.
