    People just don't realize that a potent offense can b shut down by a solid defensive team. Can anyone think of a situation where a potent offense beat a solid defense in a meaningful game NFL or college.

    Thanks for answering this i will check you site out...if it's listed on you homepage.

    And Iowa State has MORE top 5 wins, more top 20 wins, more top 25 wins then Alabama! GTFOH with all the bullshit in this thread. And PLEASE try to question..and because I know you guys are afraid to look this up I will post here for you

    Alabama beat the #8 and #21 teams...THATS IT! LSU by contrast has beaten the #2, #8, #9, #14, #23 ranked teams. Iowa State a 6-6 team has beaten the #3 #17 #22 and #25 ranked TEAMS! Alabama ONLY has 3 wins against teams with a winning record. IMO Alabama's BIGGEST win of the year was home loss to LSU, because without that miserably close loss at home they woud NEVER be considered for the title game.

    Alabama beat the #8 and #21 teams...THATS IT! LSU by contrast has beaten the #2, #8, #9, #14, #23 ranked teams. Iowa State a 6-6 team has beaten the #3 #17 #22 and #25 ranked TEAMS! Alabama ONLY has 3 wins against teams with a winning record. IMO Alabama's BIGGEST win of the year was home loss to LSU, because without that miserably close loss at home they woud NEVER be considered for the title game.

    Didn't the Packers beat the Steelers in the last year in the superbowl? Are you saying Steelers defense is overrated all these years?

    I think the Bama slappies are scared that someone might actually be able to do what their team couldn't: Beat LSU. After watching OSU rip OU, I think I'd take OSU over LSU. Hell yeah. Don't screw this one up BCS!

    Your inability to spend 30 seconds to check Iowa State's schedule shows your inability to be taken serious by me. Iowa State beat the BCS's #3 OSU, #17 Baylor, #22 Missouri and #25 Texas and they beat Texas A&M before they completely tanked their season. #3 strongest schedule in the country.

    Oklahoma State will be the BCS #2 ranked team come tomorrow

    There is just no excuse not to put OSU in the game now. Bama has beaten 3 teams with a winning record, didn't win their conference… OR THEIR OWN GOD DAMN DIVISION


    anyone that thinks OSU doesn't deserve the bid from the system in place they are either naive or an Alabama fan.

    SEC overrated?

    ….Definitely by the SEC fans!  Just because a team belongs to the SEC doesn’t mean they could compete in the NFL!

    I’m not a fan of the SEC but the LSU/Bama game impressed me..it did feel like I was watching two pro teams..the athleticism, the defensive and offensive game plans, the coaching….(OK with the exception of some idiotic FG attempts!). You could probably say that about any competitive low scoring game in the NCAA but still, that game was in another league from most CFB games.

    Also you have to be impressed by  the SEC’s BCS championship record.

    BUT…just because a team belongs to the SEC doesn’t mean they deserve a title shot. I get tired of SEC cockiness and arrogance. Immediately after playing LSU the Alabama players were still claiming to be the best team in the country and that they WOULD play in the BCS championship…that doesn’t seem like a championship team to me.  A championship team wins when it has to…it doesn’t get a 2nd chance.

    Let’s give Boise another chance…let’s give Stanford another chance…let’s give Houston another chance…

    Oh wait!!! Those teams didn’t win the game they really needed and failed to get a conference championship.  Houston wasn’t really eliminated because they weren’t going to be considered, but you could argue that Boise and Stanford had a shot if they went undefeated and won their conferences.

    Winning a conference doesn’t automatically qualify a team for the Championship game but it does work as a kind of playoff. There are “must win” games and the LSU/Bama game was a “must win”. In the NFL the 2 best teams may be in the same conference but only one of them is going to go to the Superbowl. Alabama had to win that game..they had the advantage, they were playing at home and went  to OT….but they failed to get it done when they needed it.

    OSU did lose to a team they should have annihilated but it didn’t really matter . They came back and won their conference..OSU played every team in their conference and had one bad game. They won when they needed it and they won convincingly.

    I really felt Bama had a better team than LSU this year and a better team than Auburn last year. The Tide didn’t win those games. A champion wins. Alabama is no championship team. The Tide and fans need to accept responsibility for a BIG loss and just don’t let it happen again next year

    Besides…I agree with a lot of posters…the  LSU/Bama rematch wouldn’t settle anything. Why shouldn’t LSU be able to argue that if they lose that they are still really the best team and that besides the record is 1-1….

    SEC is down this year????    Two weeks ago they had the number 1, 2 and 3 teams in the BCS....

    Look up when that has ever been done before??  Loook it up???

    NEVER.....

    What a down year for the SEC

     

    All the quality wins for the big 12 teams were beating each other...how can that be quality wins???

    Ok St gave up 45 points at home IN ONE GAME

    Ok St lost on the road as 28 point favorites

    THE ENTIRE BIG 12 Conference has beat ONE ranked team right now out of conference...that as Baylor beating TCU by 2 opening night....

    WOW, what a great conference  Beating ONE ranked team out of conference

    Everyone has the right to trash talk if they want…that’s what these posts are for…

    I would like a NCAA champ to actually play its way to a championship.

    I never signed up for the current BCS system..It’s not really any better than the previous election system for deciding the National Champ.  It’s still pro wrestling/Roman gladiators ….give the fans a game to watch to make them think a team deserved to be called #1.

    Are LSU and Alabama the best? Maybe…probably..I don’t really know because my opinion means nothing.

    I remember all the smack last year about how Oregon wouldn’t even be in the game with Auburn..and how Oregon would be a 5 or 6 game winner in the SEC. The predicted “blowout “ended up 22-19. That was almost the same score as TCU over Wisconsin.  (Wisconsin was supposed to win by 30 according to all the posts).

    Last year in the bowls (which they had to play not talk about)the SEC didn’t dominate:

    They won some but had some humiliating losses:

    NCAR 30-TENN 27(ACC)

    CENFL 10-GA 6(CUSA)!!!

    FSU 26-SOCAR 17(ACC)

    ARK 26- OHIOST 31(Big10)

    PITT 27 –KENTY 10(BigEast)

    FLAvs(Big10),ALAvs(Big10),MISSt  vs(Big10),LSU vs(Big12) all won convincingly

    Of course AUB vs(PAC10) won by 3 pts.

    Looks 50/50 to me…but the SEC was 3/1 against the BIG10!

    You can say whatever you want..I just want to see more games played and hear less “if (name the team) had to play in the SEC they wouldn’t even be Bowl eligible…”

That was almost the same score as TCU over Wisconsin.  (Wisconsin was supposed to win by 30 according to all the posts).

    Last year in the bowls (which they had to play not talk about)the SEC didn’t dominate:

    They won some but had some humiliating losses:

    NCAR 30-TENN 27(ACC)

    CENFL 10-GA 6(CUSA)!!!

    FSU 26-SOCAR 17(ACC)

    ARK 26- OHIOST 31(Big10)

    PITT 27 –KENTY 10(BigEast)

    FLAvs(Big10),ALAvs(Big10),MISSt  vs(Big10),LSU vs(Big12) all won convincingly

    Of course AUB vs(PAC10) won by 3 pts.

    Looks 50/50 to me…but the SEC was 3/1 against the BIG10!

    You can say whatever you want..I just want to see more games played and hear less “if (name the team) had to play in the SEC they wouldn’t even be Bowl eligible…”

    Let Stanford and Va Tech duke it out for the 3-4  position

    and put Alabama  against that crafty Houston  quarterback.... Let's  just  see how  good  that Bama defense is...... Bama wouldnt win  on  field goals alone.

    You cant be this simple?
