OK St gets destroyed by either one of these teams

Oklahoma State played these teams? Wow, I must have missed that one. Too bad it was a blowout like you said though...

 

[Hasselbeck]

My issue with all this is.. In the long run I think Alabama or LSU probably beat Oklahoma State - but as long as this system is in place, we will NEVER know. We're told the myth that "EVERY GAME COUNTS!" when the first LSU-Alabama meeting that was a damn 1 v. 2 matchup turned out to not mean a damn thing.

The BCS continues to be a laughing stock, and tonight was the latest chapter of this. Alabama shut down LSU.. but they didn't even win their division, much less their conference.. so how does.. "EVERY GAME COUNT!" ..?

 

[trojan49er]

I dont wanna go into the six degrees of separation math cuz thats a shaky line of logic anyway, but Bama has an outstanding secondary and the run game to control the pace against a team like OK St. OK had trouble with Stanford run game, imagine what Trent Richardson couldve done against them. Not to mention Stanford's D shut down Blackmon for a half with a much less talented and much less athletic secondary. Theyre defense gets better pressure on Weeden and covers better than Stanford was able to. Bama gave up right around 8-9 points per game on defense, thats straight up nasty. No doubt OK St would surpass that, but I dont think theyd score 30 points against Bama's D and with the way the Tide run the ball and the middling run D I've seen from the Cowboys, I gotta go with Bama.

Edit: 2,000 and I used it on this...damn

5/7 isn't "blowing".

Debatable.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Stupid LSU just helped the BCS.....nice job,...but I still won my confidence bowl pool...

What was the payout? How much self-esteem did you win?

:badjoke:

When I went to bed last night I expected this page to have reached at least 4+ pages. Where is everyone at? Were people really not interested in this game? All I know is LSU caught that beatdown......I guess a beatdown like that doesn't even warrant split NC arguments.

I fell asleep in the 3rd, woke up during the celebration, turned it off and went straight to bed.

I agree completely with Hass. I think LSU or Bama would definitely beat Okie State, hell I think Stanford was better than Ok St., but I'd love to have seen how Oklahoma St., Stanford, and Oregon would have at least faired, even if none of them would have won.

I had basketball practice...came home watched two episodes of Diners, Driveins, and Dives, turned the game on for a minute or so heard Musberger talking about Bear Bryant and answering his own hypothetical questions....back to Diners, Driveins, and Dives. I saw maybe two minutes of the game.

 

[shag773]

I watched the Sixers game, turned it on at halftime and saw Alabama was up 9-0, laughed, then Tebowed to thank God I didn't watch this bullshit...

Old Hoss after the Richardson TD:

Great. Now the score is a number larger than what most Rebs...er, Southerners, can count to.

I feel asleep too....I woke up when Alabama was on the stage, checked the final score on my phone and LOL'd. I came to VSN and saw this thread, got some laughs and went back to sleep.

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is a great show, but it makes me hungry. I actually have tried making some of the stuff on that show.

I would have been watching some NBA games, but the free League Pass is over.

Georgia Southern ran for 302 yards against Bama. Could you imagine what Army or Georgia Tech would do to them?

 

[RosettaStoned]

I watched 16 candles, and than the Gladiator.

ESPN's Alabama-LSU draws lowest-ever BCS title rating

ESPN's BCS title game Monday drew a 13.8 overnight rating -- the lowest rating in the BCS system's 14-year history.

That 13.8 translates to 13.8% of households in the 56 urban markets measured for overnights. The previous record low was a 14.3 for Miami-Nebraska at the 2002 Rose Bowl. Last night's game was down 14% from last year's Auburn-Oregon title game on ESPN and down 24% from Alabama-Texas on Fox in 2010.

The new low isn't surprising. Alabama's 21-0 win was less-than-suspenseful, both schools are from relatively sparsely-populated states and from the same conference -- and there wasn't much controversy surrounding the game. And the schools had already played earlier this season in an overtime game where neither team scored a touchdown. CBS coverage of that game drew an 11.9 overnight

Coming into the title game, ESPN's BCS ratings were already down 10%.
