[HighTide]

I wonder if Rick Reilly will be fired

I hear talk against Bama is not allowed at ESPN

That's really sad, I would expect better out of you.

Since 2003 there have been 3 teams that played for national championships with losses to teams that lost 5+ games. All 3 of those teams that played for titles with losses to teams that lost 5+ games have been from the SEC. I guess you can only lose to teams with 5+ losses and play for the BCS title if you are in the SEC??? ( 2003, LSU, 2007 LSU, 2008 Florida)

Virginia Tech was ranked 3rd in the coaches poll. I hope the pollsters take those votes (thanks and all) and gives them to OK State.

IF they win, which isn't a given.

So to sum up. Oklahoma State has played the better schedule, Oklahoma State has beat the better teams, SEC officials, coaches and fans are against rematches ( see 2006's uproar) and SEC officials, coaches and fans are 100% OK with teams playing for national titles with losses to average teams ( see 2003 LSU, 2007 LSU, 2008 Florida). That makes this decision pretty easy if OK State beats OU on Saturday I guess... Thanks guys!

Thanks man. Not trying to bang on Bama, they are a great team but I just think we need to reward the actual performance of a team as opposed to our gut feeling on them. hell OU could beat the Cowboys by 20 on Saturday. If they do i will happily watch Bama-LSU again.

Bama being the second best team in the nation is an OPINION. It is not backed by a quality resume, it is not backed by winning a division, it is not backed by winning a conference. Bama has no real argument to be in this game other than "we THINK we're the second best team, you should just ignore all those other conference Champs because we look better and barely lost"

That's just absurd.

Exactly.

The second line in bold is EVERY argument for Bama I've heard.

2008 Ole Miss

Finished 9-4 and ranked in the top 15 in both the Coaches Poll and AP Poll.

I know it's only a one game difference, but that "terrible" loss went on to r*pe Texas Tech who was in a 3 way tie for the Big12 South.

Ooops. My bad. Thought that Ole Miss team was 8-5. Oh well. Point still holds Thanks for the correction though. I hate messing up like that.

What is really absurd is thinking that a team that just lost to a 6 and 5 iowa state team should even be considered for a BCS game. Really goes to show how weak the Big 12 really is where there best team can lose to a 6 and 5 team. You would have to be some kinda fuckin moron if you thought OSU deserved to be in the NCG.

you know why Iowa State is 6-5, they lost 5 Big 12 games

shows the Big 12 is a deep conference where 9 of the 10 teams can win on any given weekend.

 

[bone3421]

texas tech wasnt up for that game

Well if you're trying to knock a conference at least do a little more thorough research.

If your point was that 2 BCS championships were won by SEC teams who lost to teams with 5 losses, then it still holds.

BTW, I'm not arguing against your main point, I think the circumstances outside the game probably affected OSU, and a win tomorrow should put them in the title game.

What circumstances?

Circumstances in Tuscaloosa have affected our whole season, do you guys need to hush up with the okie tragedy thing.
There are a lot of parts of Tuscaloosa that are still just terrible.
