BCS no controversy ... or maybe

[Voltaire26]

No controversy here: Auburn-FSU to meet for final BCS title - CBSSports.com

Florida State ... Easy, they didn't lose.

Case for Alabama
One loss
Lost to the Number 2 Team (Auburn) in the Nation
Auburn lost to a team that had three loses (LSU)

My vote would be for Alabama.

Note: If they were ever stupid enough to give me a vote it would be Michigan v. Savannah State in the BCS

Lots of cases can be made on paper.

However Auburn beat Alabam straight up and they won the SEC ccg. I can't take that away from them even though I know if they met BAMA in a rematch, BAMA would shut them out.

awwbun deserves to be there over Bama. No question.

 

[HizzleRocker]

So the fact that they have identical records (except Auburn even has 1 more win); play in the same conference; except Auburn won its conference and Alabama didn't; and the fact that the 2 teams met on the field and Auburn beat them...

Means nothing to you?

 

[BamaFanAlways]

Auburn should go. They have the head to head.

We can debate on if they are truly better or not until the cows come home, but they deserve the chance to play in NCG.

HizzleRocker, your right. I just think that Alabama is the best team in the NCAA. I have no horse in this race, I don't like Saban, I just have a respect for Alabama.

Bama vs Florida State would be a better matchup. But Auburn earned it. I think it will be a fairly lopsided NC game, unfortunately.

By beating bama straight up auburn proved they deserve their shot to get curb stomped by fsu.

[TigerBait1971]

omg. I saw "class" used to describe BAMA fans.

 

[outofyourmind]

Michigan State is a 1 loss team that just beat the #2 team, why not them.
Ohio State is a 1 loss team that lost to a top ten team, why not them.
Baylor is a 1 loss team that lost to a top ten team, why not them.


just because espn wants you to assume it's Auburn, doesn't make it so.
or Alabama.

It kinda felt funny.

Saving grace here is if that train rolls over Auburn, it wont be Alabama that stopped the streak and we'll be able to hold that over Auburns head

Michigan State would be the only viable alternative, not tOSU or Baylor.

OSU lost to MSU, so no.
Baylor didn't play in a conference championship game and got absolutely throttled by Oklahoma State.

Not one Alabama fan agreed with me ... CLASS

you just described 2011 Alabama.

MSU lost to ND....
Auburn was soundly beaten by LSU
Baylor pounded by OK State

I would pick Auburn, but don't pretend there are arguments for each of them. Conference Champ argument is just stupid.

 

[sakau2007]

does anyone actually think michigan st's resume is even in the same league as auburn's? wins aren't as good, loss to a lesser team

No their resume isn't as good.

They would kick Auburns ass though.

I'm still struggling with the way Auburn won over Georgia, Alabama, even Miss St (last 20 seconds). I heard them say Auburn won 4 games in the last 80 seconds. I know an Auburn fan will try to have fun with that and be a smart ass but wow, a team in the NC that could easily have 3 or 4 losses. easily! They won and that counts but seriously? They almost did the same type shit in 2010. They had too of sold their soul to the devil. That's the only answer!

When they announced the 4 team playoff in 2014 season I knew it would help Alabama. Many people said now (after the announcement), Alabama (or SEC), would have to earn it. I swear it's going to help both including multiple teams in given years! It sure would have this year.
