I would rather see Okla St play LSU, but the bottom line is Bama is more deserving.

Bama lost to the unanimous #1 team in overtime.

Okla St lost to an average to below average ISU team as 20+ point favorites.

Seems pretty clear to me.

Going further, not that it really matters,
Bama lost that game cause they missed 2-4 FGs (I don't recall) and had a catch ruled an interception at the 1.
Okla St gave up something like a 20 point lead.

A complete sham & even more proof why this system needs to be blown up. I am boycotting the game in terms of watching it & will stick with the wager I had a friend put in for me in Vegas & the ones I will make when offshore books put it up.

Also this nonsense of mentioning pointspreads is ridiculous as it should be based on the team, not how many they were or were not favored by. When will most people get it through their thick heads, most upsets usually occur during conference play as teams know each other best. Shit happens..... but to say Alabama is more deserving with the whole body of work is beyond ridiculous.

Ok. St missed a FG that would have won it, the ball went right over the upright, it could have been ruled a good FG. Alabama only beat 4 teams with a winning record, 1 being Grambling state, another being 7-5 Auburn.

The arguement can be made both ways and thats the problem with the whole stupid system. Okie sts 1 loss while to a lesser team was atleast on the road not at home. And lets not forget to mention wasn't that game 1 day after a plane crash killed a couple Okie st coaches? I'm sure the players were really looking forward to flying to iowa. Also bama beat 2 teams currently ranked in the top 25. Just two. And penn st is just barley ranked and may not be when the new polls come out. Okie st beat the 3 teams in the top 15. So they both had 1 loss but Ok st has more impressive wins i think.

Disagree. As much as I hate seeing rematches, Alabama deserves the spot more than anyone else. The Cowboys lost to a crap Iowa State squad and could have easily lost other games. It would be more interesting to see the Cowboys get destroyed by LSU, but they don't deserve it IMO.

Who else deserves to play in the game based upon the current system? Only LSU and Alabama if you are being honest (but you never are).

This guy nails it. Who the hell did Alabama beat this year? And do you really think we'd ever see two teams from a non-SEC conference play for it all?

When Michigan lost to Ohio St in a thriller at the end of 2006, the story seemed to be no rematch at all costs because a title game just can't have one of those. Michigan "had their chance." I guess that rule still applies...except if you play in the SEC, who loves to pretend they are the be-all, end-all of college football.

If this doesn't completely disprove the "every week is a playoff" BS the BCS tries to peddle, I don't know what will.

Oklahoma State lost to a horrible team and has 2 wins over top 25 teams (none in the top 10).

Alabama lost to the best team in the country in overtime and has a win over a top 10 team and another top 25 team.

I don't see the problem...

The body of work proves why Oklahoma State deserves it based on rankings of when teams played. Losing to a conference foe happens all the time, they know you best. Oklahoma State played tougher teams, have more wins against teams with winning records. Alabama gets rewarded for not winning their own division much less conference & one of their wins against a .500 or better foe was a I-AA team to boot. Let us not even get started on all the other 1 loss teams that deserve a shot just on fairness alone. Leave it to I-A football to be the only sport determining their "champions" via people not even playing the game.

Did you read the article? Okie St has seven wins over top 25 teams this year. Bama has three. Like the guy says, what is Alabama's impressive win in their schedule this year?

The main problem is for LSU to win the NC, they have to beat Bama twice. For Bama to win the NC, they just have to split a two-game series against LSU. Not fair to LSU, not fair to Okie St, not fair to Bama.

Alabama's impressive win? Beating a current top 10 team by 20+ points. Oklahoma State doesn't have that. And I don't mean this rudely, but I could care less how many teams that Oklahoma State beat when they were ranked in the top 25. They have 2 wins that are halfway decent currently. Does a 1-point win over a Texas A&M team that has had a 6-6 season really impress you that much just because they were falsely ranked at #8 when the game happened? A win over a 4-8 Arizona squad? The Cowboys lost to a 6-6 team that lost just about every meaningful game they had this year. PS, Alabama played at least 6 teams that were in the top 25 at one point. Not sure if they had more than that since I don't recall how the season opened with the rankings...

Why would I read an article that states OSU has 7 wins vs top 25 teams when that is patently false. The final rankings came out today. Name me the 7 TOP 25 teams that OSU beat. Why would I waste my time if the gist of the article is a joke? And Bama's impresive win was a 24 point beatdown vs. the #6 team in the country. Who has a more impressive win this year besides LSU?
