Lights Out Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So far, I have yet to see a compelling difference from the last game that required a rematch to settle. Oklahoma State got hosed.A month ago, you said you weren't going to watch the game.What made you change your mind?I was scoreboard-watching, honestly. At the time of posting, it was still an all-field goal game. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow.... that was literally the worst football game I've ever witnessed. At least the first matchup was close. The way LSU's offense and defense (yes, LSU's defense did not play well tonight) were playing tonight, I'm pretty sure Houston and Keenum could've put 50 on them. And that's only partially hyperbole. Dammit why couldn't you play this bad when Oregon played you!? Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 We have yet to see what the AP poll does.Alabama claims like 100 national titles that were split anyway, so... Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah. Apparently they got 18 claimed titles and 14 official ones.Oh, and I'm listening to Finebaum right now. Oh. My. God.

NEW.ERA Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm glad I don't live in SEC territory. Up here is nice and I can just enjoy the Tide winning a National Title with out the SEC extremists like Updike and Finebaum, and the idiots call Paul Finebaum. And I really only have to hear the bitching about ESS EEE SEE FOOTBALL!11!!!! From guys here. It's nice!

dfwabel Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 FWIW, I wish they'd have won the first game and we'd have found a way to have an Okie State vs. Bama game. That would have been interesting.It would not have been. Such a matchup would have been similar to the Alabama/Arkansas game this season.. It would have been Nick Saban with six weeks to prepare for Mike Gundy? That's less than fare with how poor the Ok State run defense was all season (180 yards per game). Alabama would have still played to keep that offense off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't like the BCS, but given that it exists, this rematch was not a travesty. OK State beat more tough opponents, but psssst; beat Iowa State.Psst, win your conference. Yes, that means you, Bama.College football is different. It's based on the body of work. Not having to play in your own conference's championship game is not analagous to letting the Jets into this year's super bowl despite missing the playoffs. (beside, you don't have to win your 4-team NFL division anyway).College football is weird...after the season, Bama had lost once; to the #1 team. Okie State may have been the better team, but in a world with no margin for error, you don't want to lose to Iowa State.In college football (much like college hoops) I don't think not winning your conference needs to be an eliminator...they were still viewed as the #2 team in the country. Turns out, they were probably the best.FWIW, I wish they'd have won the first game and we'd have found a way to have an Okie State vs. Bama game. That would have been interesting.You know, a road OT loss to Iowa State this season isn't like a loss to Indiana for s sake. Iowa State was a decent squad. Would we hold it against LSU if they had lost to say Florida this season on the road in overtime? Because this season Iowa State and Florida would probably be on par with each other.

pmoehrin Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 No matter the AP poll was going to be big.For years the people in college football have tried to sidestep the question of how important bowl games really are in comparison to the regular season and conference championship games. I don't know how many times I've heard our regular season is our playoffs. Well this is definitive proof that when push comes to shove, the regular season is not a playoff system. It is not on par with what goes on in January. The fact that LSU won their conference title and beat Alabama earlier in the year didn't mean anything. Anyone who bought a ticket to the SEC championship game or watched it on TV essentially wasted their time and or money because it was a pointless game. It wouldn't be an issue if the college football higher ups hadn't banging this drum for the past decade about the importance of the regular season to answer people who say they're should be a playoff system but the fact that they did makes it an issue.We'll see if they address the issue in the coming weeks or do what they usually do which is to just change their argument to try and justify what has long been a broken system.
