Let's compare...

OSU Wins vs. current BCS Top 25:

Oklahoma

Kansas St.

Baylor

at Texas

at Missouri

Alabama Wins vs. current BCS Top 25:

Arkansas

at Penn St

OSU Wins vs. FBS teams with winning records:

La.-Lafayette

at Tulsa

at Texas

at Missouri

Baylor

Kansas St.

Oklahoma

Alabama Wins vs. FBS teams with winning records:

at Penn St

Arkansas

at Auburn

Conference champion

OSU- Yes

Alabma- No

OSU Loss at Iowa State 37-31, 2OT

Alabam Loss No. 1 LSU, 9-6, OT

:-k

The only thing that kills it, IMO, is that Alabama lost to the best team in the country, by 3, in OT, and by all accounts should have won.

OSU lost to Iowa State? Really? Iowa 'unranked' State?

Wisconsin beast Michigan State by 3.

Wisconsin is the champion of the Big Ten?

There should be a third, tiebreaker game.

Same problem with LSU v Bama. If Bama wins (after losing to them initially) should they be considered the champions?

Hey, I have an idea.... how about a play off in college football?

If LSU had lost to Bama in the same fashion, I would still argue that LSU deserves a shot at the title because they are still better than everybody else. And I guarantee that LSU fans would feel the same.

GEAUX TIGERS!

That didn't matter last time. LSU won in Bama's house.

I hope they do it again, too. I agree with Russ, if you lose to a team and then beat them, you gotta beat 'em again to be considered the champs. If Bama beats LSU they both will have lost only once to each other and Bama lost AT HOME.

Not that I think Bama will win, but I think if they do, they are #1, period.

There's the problem... no playoff.

Let's assume conference champions:

LSU, OK State, Clemson, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Southern Miss, Oregon, TCU

You really think these are the schools that deserve to compete in it?

Let's assume top 8:

Conference Champions

LSU, OK State, Oregon

Non-conference Champions

Alabama, Stanford, Arkansas, Boise State, Kansas State

In this case, more non-conference champs are in the playoffs than conference champs. I thought Bama didn't deserve to go since they didn't even win their conference?

I'm not defending the BSC necessarily... but some of these criticisms are silly.

At least in NCAAF you don't have teams resting players late in the season after they've locked up home field advantage.

LSU has another chance to show that they can be the best team on field and not just the team with more points at the end of overtime. Way too many experts and fans and spectators believe that Bama beat themselves.(Attempting unrealistic field goals in obvious punting situations.) That being said, LSU made some key plays when they had to. They kept Bama out of the endzone. That carries tons of respect. Tiger fans wanna be like real champions? Then embrace the competition of the only team that can challenge. Don't buy into the UA and OSU comparison that started this thread. Leave that part up to the computers. Real human beings with eyes, brains, and any sense of how football is played can see the body of work that goes into a team and their season.

LSU vs. OSU? Tigers would put up 40+ on OSU and only allow 17. I actually laughed when I heard Gundy say "Do you wanna see a 9 to 6 game or a 39 to 36 game?" Maybe against Arkansas.

For the SEC haters, I get it. You wanna see another conference emerge. I totally get that. Well, its gonna happen, eventually. Just gotta be patient.

Its a strange situation indeed. I get that it cheapens the league title. But in this case, its still the right thing to do by pairing 1 against 2. But I still hope for playoff system too.
