Except it isn't. It's a joke pretending to act like a playoff. The only "fair" national championship game we have right now is LSU-Houston, frankly. If Alabama wanted to go to the party, maybe they should have recruited a kicker?  |

Just because they're undefeated? Haha ok. If Alabama wanted to go to the party, maybe they should have recruited a kicker? Or Saban not being a complete dumbass and putting his kickers in those situations  |

You are focusing way too much on the losses and not who the teams beat.

What? I'm not the one saying Bama shouldn't play LSU because they already lost to them. My argument is the rankings. The other crap I said about the losses was just playing everyone else's game of why Bama shoudn't play in the BCS NCG. |

I think what Trippy means is that OK State has way better wins than Alabama.

Actually now that I see the BCS rankings I see that Alabama's comp ranking (not that those are "objective" either) is higher than Oklahoma State -- I thought it was the other way around. So I'm okay with LSU being #1 right now and Alabama #2.

Nobody except LSU has a really great resume of wins.
That's the reason we'll have a very ridiculous #2 pick. Alabama's best win is going to be Arkansas. OSU's best wins will be K State and Oklahoma if they want to be in the discussion.
Stanford's best win is Notre Dame which is just stupid. VA Tech's best win is GA Tech. Houston's best win is UCLA.

Beating the #3 team in the country isn't a bad "best win" to have.  |

Beating the #3 team in the country isn't a bad "best win" to have. They weren't at the time. In fact I question Arkansas's inclusion in this mess considering their best win is South Carolina. Then again, Georgia couldn't do that.  I have a feeling this college season will be looked back upon in a very negative light. Sorta like when LSU won the title as a two loss team with one of those as Kentucky. |

and 54 to South Carolina and 48 to Florida and 38 to Vandy

Yes, but while USC is infinitely better than Notre Dame on the field I don't think that beating USC would help them much more in the BCS. |

The other problem is that it was a 3OT win in the 50s, proving that Stanford's defense isn't exactly ready for primetime.

I think the discussion was more about Stanford's BCS chances and quality of wins, not necessarily how good they really are. They have proved to me that they have some really, really good people at a few skill positions but their overall athletic ability is very suspect. They would get torched by any team with a high level defense.

Oh I agree that Stanford is overrated. Like who the fucked got picked this year to vote in the Harris poll that would rank Stanford ahead of OSU? Apparently there are other people out there that think it matters more who you lose to than who you beat.

They're about even (4-2) and OKST still has Bedlam to play. The assumption is that a win in that game pulls them even or better. |

It does matter. Losing to Iowa State is a lot different than losing to Alabama or LSU. |

If it is Bama and LSU, that will make it yet another SEC team with the crystal football. And I don't see that changing next year considering the age make up of both of these teams as well as Arkansas, SCar, UGA.

Maybe Urban Meyer, who took the job at Ohio State to spend more time with his family  will change that. |

I'm going to pick on the PAC-12 for a moment:
Not only if your inaugural championship game the Ducks v. the lame-ducks, but you're playing it on a Friday? WHAT? That's the day the MAC teams play their games. Totally bush league.
Oh and I can get tickets for $24 on stubhub.
