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

[NAHSTE]

I think at this point it might be all moot.

LSU vs Bama seems like a foregone conclusion at this point regardless of what happens this weekend.

Which makes: The Game of the Century, and the #1 and #3 ranked teams' games during the last week of the season meaningless. What a fucking joke.

Not true, there's still a pretty good chance but it relies on the human voters. Oklahoma State will lead the computer polls component after a win v. OU. Every projection I've read says this is the case. Totally up to the pollsters, sadly, but at least Oklahoma State will have a shot.

Ok. And LSU>Bama based on on the field results.

And Ole Miss>2009 Florida NC's.!

We already know the outcome.

Houston vs LSU!

:kanye:

The only legit argument could be made for Houston vs LSU, or a playoff.

Any argument claiming Alabama should be eliminated for their loss, should also eliminate Oklahoma State for their loss.

No, we are eliminating Alabama not because of their one loss, but because their loss meant they would not even win their conference and also because they have a weaker SOS and fewer wins over ranked teams than the other 1-loss team they are being compared to.

LSU versus Houston would be lame.

Exactly.

Iowa St isn't that good. Average football team. But they aren't Akron. Ok St lost to a 6-5 football team that played the countries 3rd toughest schedule. Obviously Bama's loss is "better" but Ok St's wins are much much better than Alabama's as we sit here right now....let alone if they beat Oklahoma. That should more than tip the scales.

If you wanna say Okla State has a more impressive season, thats a valid point to make, and is a completely different criteria than what FT was saying that LSU > Alabama because it was "proven" on the field, because in that case it was also "proven" on the field that Iowa State is better than Okla State.

Say Georgia and Oklahoma win. Who goes to the NC?

You can thank pre-season polls for some of this too.

Let me get this straight.....I'm sure you don't believe Houston is the second best team in the country, so why would you want to see them matched up with LSU? As I said, if that happened the game might as well be another meaningless bowl game.

That's the fucking original post of this thread. That is what we have been saying for pages and pages. Good god.

I was responding to FT's elimination theory that LSU > Alabama because of on field results, he was using different method than you to eliminate Alabama.

 

[ralaw]

I hope Okie Stat losses so we can see who you guys think should be in the NC game against LSU.

 

[Sharkweather]

Say Georgia and Oklahoma win. Who goes to the NC?

I hope we find out on Sunday.

You're a fucking dimwit.

Seriously. The one subject you care about discussing on this site you are a compelte retard about.

Awesome.

This is like Spooner coming back and wanting to only discuss hooking up with girls.

Dont get mad just because your elimination method was proven stupid.

Houston or Virginia Tech would be better choices than Alabama, IMO.

Again though I don't care, you could send an NFL team (preferably the Colts) to New Orleans on January 9 and I'd still have all the confidence in the world that LSU will be victorious.

Because in one game anything can happen.

Who the hell knows?

As I said, if that happened the game might as well be another meaningless bowl game.

Or it might not be. Even if Houston won, people would say it was a fluke and the game didn't mean much. Hell, Alabama would most likely find a way to give themselves another National Title as a result.

Haha. Just like Bama fans to claim credit for shit they didn't earn. DSypdr might have already ordered himself a "2nd best team in the country" ring by this point.

bama:

No it hasn't been.

LSU beating Alabama doesn't conclusivly prove that they are the better team. One game. Anything can happen. It just means based on what we have seen LSU is the better team. You have to accept that result and move on. In the end we are looking for a conclusion to the season. LSU vs Bama serves no purpose because if LSU wins: Previous conclusion confirmed. If Alabama wins...no conclusion at all. Split. Ok st lost to Iowa St. Ok. Accept result and move on. OK St also has much more impressive wins than Bama does. You have to accept those results as well and move on.Ok St's wins more than do enough to mak eup for the loss to Iowa St in relation to Bama's resume. That's what is being said.

Also the context of LSU>Bama was ralaw saying "What if the two best teams are in the best conference?" Well, what if they aren't? That's the point. We haven't seen Ok st and Bama play. You have to start comparing resumes. You can conclude as best you can that LSU>Bama based on the field results. Working for a conclusion to the season if LSU beats Bama again the conclusion is confirmed. If Bama wins then it's split LSU=Bama..but Ok St is still really damn good and has a better resume than Bama in many people's minds so if that's true...then if Ok St could be better than Bama they could be better than LSU if Bama beat LSU.

Ok St obviously has an argument..and a stronger one than Alabama if they win Saturday. OK St beating LSU, who beat Alabama would be a strong enough conclusion for most anyone with a brain stem. If LSU wins no one else really ahas an argument...except Houston I guess...and we've been through that before with Boise and Utah.

On the real though, I'd like to see Okie St. win and see what the voters do. The only other matchup I'd be okay with is a LSU/Okie St. matchup, but that's it.
