Alabama/Oklahoma State comparison

[legendsincrimson]

best two? what makes bama better? your opinion?

First of all, Alabama lost by only three points to the #1 team.
Oklahoma State lost by six points to an unranked team.

This is the only one that matters, then there is this:

OKS allows 27 points per game to opposing teams.
Alabama only allows 9 points per game.

It is clear who is the #2 team!

so a team with an good offense is ranked lower than a team with a good defense? you're really reaching....

Who has Oklahoma State beat?

I have an idea, since LSU has to play Georgia, why don't Bama and Okie State play a game to decide who goes to the National Title game.

that would absolutely be a great game, play it in jerry world or nola

 

[LSUfanFloridaAlumni]

I really don't think it would be. I think Alabama would crush Oklahoma State by 30-14 or something like that.

Oklahoma State = Arkansas.

Honestly the two teams are identical.

huh? oh im confused because the resumes say something completely different

 

[LSUfanFloridaAlumni]

Well Arkansas and Oklahoma State have a common opponent (Texas A&M) and they play about the same style ball.

Both had a good QB (Wilson and Weeden). Both have very talented WRs, both have a mediocre run game, both have a bad defense that has a hard time getting off the field. Both teams appear soft.

All Bama fans are butthurt. Oklahoma State clearly has the better resumé. Only blind Bama fans don't see this.

 

[starbigd]

I keep seeing Bama fans bring up losses. I have YET to see one talk about games they've WON. Losses is a loser's argument.

WHO has Bama beat? What is their signature win? OSU's resume is WELL documented. They've played better teams all year. What has Bama done? What have they accomplished?

They deserve the title shot based PURELY on your opinion, NOT on onfield results. This is the problem with your argument, and why it does not hold water.

OK State is 3-0 vs currently ranked teams. Bama is 2-1.

Alabama is perfect against worthless unranked opponents. Oki St lost to 6-6 Iowa State.

Okist has the best resume at losing to unranked 6-6 football teams. Congratulations at your mediocrity Oki St.

So, are you saying LSU is like a 6-6 unranked football team? Other people are talking about quality opponents OSU beat (which LSU would be).

Oklahoma State wins > Alabama wins.
