Topic: The BCS National Championship Posted: January 08 2012 at 05:32 |
The Tigers already beat the Crimson Tide earlier this year in a very low scoring, defensive game 6 - 3 as LSU kicked a FG in OT. Who will win the national championship this Monday night?

Anyway, roll Tide. Roll to creating a log jam of 1 loss teams with no legitimate claim to a national championship.

I'd have trouble staying up to watch it if I were in your time zone.

It'll probably end in a tie if it is as pitiful as the first time they met. Still mad at the BCS for matching up two teams from the same conference, it's just incredibly stupid and unentertaining.

OSU should be playing LSU......Alabama does not deserve this opportunity. A lot of NCAA blogs and sports writers are already calling a win by Alabama as not a reason to vote them #1 in AP.....LSU probably still gets it.
BCS rankings are for sh*t........
Anyhow I expect LSU to win, not by much...but they should. IF...its a blowout by LSU, more than 21points, this LSU team has to be ranked as one of top all time NCAAF teams.

If Alabama does win, no matter by how much and aren't awarded the national title this would make this whole format more of a farce than it already is. Alabama should of won the first meeting earlier this year but missed 4 of 6 FGs. Alabama by 10.

^ Dude not even the BCS gurus can explain the computer matrix.......its already a pc of garbage, it makes absolutely no sense.
'Bama did not win anything in the regular season, they did not even play for the SEC championship. They sat at home while LSU crushed Georgia 42-10, for the SEC title, at the Georgia Dome!
OSU played another game also and won the Big 12.....again while 'Bama sat at home. And then to have to listen to Saban plead his case and basically beg the public why they should be in the BCS game......pathetic.
The BCS computer should have a trump card that gives more weight to a top team that actually wins their conference, so that way we actually have two conference champions playing for the national title.
The AP Writers poll to me has more weight than this nonsense BCS game ranking system. I mean think about it, how does Boise get dooped again this year out of a BCS bowl game??
Even if Bama wins, LSU has more wins and has beaten more top ranked teams and won their conference. They have already proven they are the #1 team in the country by going 13-0.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda means nothing right now.

Don't care for the BCS per se and the computers and all that crazy sh*t, I just watch the big games (the "real" bowl games and this one). I'll be watching the SEC game, erm I mean title game for sure! Should be a good one.
I pick Alabama in a close one.

I'd kinda perfer if Bama wins it, but LSU is probably the better team overall (from the very little I watch of college football) so I don't really care. I'll say LSU as I think they will probably win anyway.
I'm hoping for the exact opposite of their first meeting...56-52 offensive explosion.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

BAMA!
Yes, in the mind of the BCS there is now no true champion....the media, coaches and computers are starting fry thinking about it. Hey, all I know is without a playoff we look at bowl games and who won?? And via shutout.
2011 champs! Undisputed in my eyes.

^ LOL!!! The BCS computer says they are the National Champs....so they are, I mean computers never make mistakes.
At the end of the day Alabama won a bowl game, one game that's all. Who had the better season? Who beat more ranked teams not only at home but on the road and who won their conference.
There is a lot that states LSU is one of the best teams in the nation.....So it just depends on your point of view.
But last night the law of averages caught up with Les Miles.....everything that could have gone wrong did. Alabama had their number all night long, Jefferson was horrible.
Again congrats to Alabama in winning that bowl game, that D is pretty damn good!

To me, it's so straightforward. If #2 beats #1 in a championship game, #2 is the champion. A computer can't be that illogic can it? Here's the final AP poll. I think they got it right for the most part:

Well only illogic when the BCS nitwits program it ![LOL LOL](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif) ......of course they won the game and deserve the BCS Bowl Title.....but does that one game define a season? I hardly doubt it......Already the BCS gurus were talking about revamping the process. It needs to go away and leave it in the hands of the AP writers poll.
Within the season, 12 games, Alabama did not accomplish as much as LSU nor OSU....that's where BCS system fails.
