Sorry robsam but I suspect you are the only person on the planet who is not a 'bama/LSU fan who is enjoying this game. I’d almost rather watch Tebow.
ESPN’s Amanda Rykoff just tweeted: “There was more scoring at Tim Tebow’s Prom”.

Well said, Brett!
Screw that silly defense part of the game, lets see more teams loft the ball up into the air against hapless little guys with no coaching and score easy touchdowns like flag football!
It worked great for Oregon and West Virginia when they played LSU…oh, wait.
Well Robsam from what ive seen, the best team in the country isn’t even on the field tonight. But thats what you get from the idiocy that is the BCS.

I hate Bama and LSU, but I respect defense, and both of these teams MASHED every other team they played this year. They just can’t score against each other.
I admit it’s boring if you like flag football, but this is big boy football. USC is going to be at this level real soon, (defense wise), so you may have some more fun next year.
Bama should have won the first game agains LSU, Miles hasn’t been able to let his crazy loose against Saban’s robots tonight. Better coaching is beating (slightly) better athletes.

Tell me Brett, who is the best team in the country?
I would have loved to see a game of OSU vs LSU, that would have been an amazing game. I think OSU could have scored against either LSU or Alabama.
Oklahoma State and LSU should have been the top 2 teams.

Was that supposed to be clever? Now I understand you. ;-)
Oh, and my point still stands (boring game, hypocrisy, Oklahoma St. National Champs).

And Bama and LSU would have scored easily against OSU. The SEC scores easily against other conference teams, look at the bowl records and out of conference scoring by the SEC during the regular season.
OSU beat better ranked teams throughout the season then Alabama did and won their conference. That is why they should have been in the game and are one of the top 2 teams in the country.
I still can’t believe people wanted this over matchup rather than Okie St.
It was obvious what was going to happen from the previous game.

Why are you talking about OSU? The team in question is Oklahoma St. The other point is that the SEC argued that a team that just got beat by the other team doesn’t deserve a second shot in a bowl game, and the lower rated team should be given the chance. LSU can’t beat the same team twice, nor Alabama? I don’t see why either team should be national champ given they dodged Oklahoma State. Split championship seems to be the only way to handle it.

Yes, but most people probably thought it would’ve been LSU leading instead. If Bama wins, are they really better than LSU considering LSU already beat them at their home?
Nope, should be a split national championship then.

Except they aren’t one of the top two teams in the country. Otherwise they would be losing to either Bama or LSU right now, instead of enjoying the failure of the poor Stanford kicker in the third place game.
(Am I trolling well? I don’t usually do this sort of thing.)

Yup, Oklahoma St. and maybe one of those two Boredom Bowl Teams. Not sure which, though.

You are clearly better than me at the trolling thing. ;)
Bama should have won the first game against LSU, they’ve outplayed LSU even better in this game.
LSU flicked Oregon and West Virginia away like fleas. Clearly the best two teams in the nation, boring to watch against each other, fun as hell to watch against so called high power offense teams from other conferences.
Bama will drop off next season, LSU will actually be better. I predict an LSU-USC BCS title game next year.
