How different than an NFL wildcard team winning the superbowl...well outside of the whole no playoff thing. You've had national champions that haven't won their conference championships.

You answered your own question--the non-playoff.

It is absolutely ludicrous that a team that can't win its own conference is gifted a non-playoff national championship spot.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Amost time for a shutout.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Shhhhh I'm enjoying the prognostications of how their team would beat Bama in a playoff *for sure*

Maybe everybody remembers that Alabama lost to this team not too long ago.

 

[truly101]

"Forget the Bear" what the fuck Musburger? Are you a moron?

 

[PBY]

Sorry buddy, it's bitter sweet seeing this total woodshed beating.

lol

 

[Big Baybee]

Congrats to Bama. Amazing D. But fuck you at the same time.

 

[cajunator]

i had more hope for lsu watching jarrett lee throwing ints.
At least he was getting the ball downfield.

 

[tokkun]

I think Herbstreit has fallen asleep a few times during this game.

 

[andycapps]

Not even going for it on 4th down. White flag is up.

Honey badger don't fear no man.

 

[KingGondo]

Sorry buddy, it's bitter sweet seeing this total woodshed beating.

Bittersweet? It's OK to enjoy it, just don't be so obnoxious.

 

[PBY]

brent. stop. talking. jesus.

 

[Jamesways]

Only team to look worse against a SEC team in a bowl game besides Ohio State, is LSU.Congratulations LSU! You officially have not won a game against a SEC team in a bowl.

Brilliant!


But, but, but SEC never loses the big game.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

I hope Saban gets hit with the red Gatorade and the bucket to the head like last time. Fuck that guy.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Well that was a fucking ass-beating.

 

[truly101]

Tuscaloosa Tornado = Hurricane Katrina obligatory reference. LSU never stood a fucking chance.

 

[The Albatross]

exactly

a play off could easily have resulted in the same bullshit

Yeah, but those great games that we had earlier this week would have meant something. A tournament doesn't guarantee a great championship, but you wouldn't think of it as only a the championship game, but a great tournament, and there'd be no doubt about who deserves to be in the final game.

 

[Lonestar]

Can we not kill Saban with the Gatorade this time

 

[theviolenthero]

Jamarcus Russell>Jordan Jefferson

 

[Oozer3993]

So when does Brent say "This is for all the car insurance?"

 

[bucknuticus]

So only positive is my Comm professor might go easier on us this quarter since he'll be in a good mood? Bad news: Have to hear him gloat the rest of the quarter.

 

[lush]

Saban faking happiness is always the best part.

 

[JJDinomite]

These coaches have better security than the president.

 

[andycapps]

Brilliant!


But, but, but SEC never loses the big game.

Even when we lose, we win.

 

[mre]

Fuck the AP if they keep LSU #1 after that. 92 total yards.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Exactly. If an 8-team playoff still resulted in these two teams and this game, I would be okay with it because it was decided on the field.

 

[pxleyes]

Florida scored more points against Bama. I can't say anything worse than this.

.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Maybe everybody remembers that Alabama lost to this team not too long ago.

We didn't play them this year? Anyway. Congrats Alabama. That was amazing defensive play.

Edit: oh you thought I was a Bama fan lol no. I can just appreciate that they did well in this game.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Worst game I've ever seen, and I've watched soccer before.

 

[GodfatherX]

saban talking up his offense lol

 

[jjasper]

Only team to look worse against a SEC team in a bowl game besides Ohio State, is LSU.

Congratulations LSU! You officially have not won a game against a SEC team in a bowl.

True story they are now actually 0-3 against SEC teams in bowl games. And have the distinction of the being the 1 in the 8-1 in the championship game.

.

I can. UT scored more.

 

[jamesinclair]

How can you defend no playoffs after this atrocity?

Well, its all about the money....


....but how many people watched the full game? What a snoozer. Money talks, maybe change will come?

 

[truly101]

Jamarcus Russell>Jordan Jefferson

Now imagine Jefferson as an nf....hahahahahahahah.... sorry couldn't finish that.

 

[Spacebar]

Jesus Christ get a playoff already. Fuck shitty bowl games.

 

[Sirpopopop]

Man, I've never seen an SEC team get dominated so hard like that.

The SEC sucks as a conference.

 

[andycapps]

Jamarcus Russell>Jordan Jefferson

At eating? Definitely.

 

[PBY]

Well, its all about the money....


....but how many people watched the full game? What a snoozer. Money talks, maybe change will come?

no one outside of alabama could possibly have enjoyed this, right? right?

 

[Balphon]

Can we not kill Saban with the Gatorade this time

They'd use pure water, but he might melt.

 

[NervousXtian]

Is that worst performance in NC game in the modern era?

Seriously, LSU didn't put up 100 yards in offense.

 

[andycapps]

no one outside of alabama could possibly have enjoyed this, right? right?

You say that now, watch the ratings be off the charts.

 

[Big Baybee]

Lee and JJ are officially out. Looking forward to an actual QB next year.

 

[lush]

Ohio State
Oklahoma

 

[Smokey]

Worst game I've ever seen, and I've watched soccer before.

loool

How different than an NFL wildcard team winning the superbowl...well outside of the whole no playoff thing. You've had national champions that haven't won their conference championships.

Because few people doubt the legitimacy of any super bowl champ. If you don't win your division in the NFL, you have to beat four teams to win the super bowl, and win at least two road games (usually three road games), so if you can win four consecutive games against the four best teams in the NFL, with at least 2 on the road and probably 3 on the road, you deserv to be the champ.

Similarly.

An Oregon / Bama or Stanford / Bama championship game would have been compelling. I think that Bama would have won against any team with how they played on defense tonight, but a team that can pass and run for more than 4 yards would have been thrilling.

 

[tokkun]

Good lord, are Upshaw's teeth filed to points?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I say just make it best of three.

 

[Kusagari]

Alabama has to be #1 after how close the first game was and how dominating this performance was. LSU didn't even look like they belonged on the same field.

 

[pxleyes]

Ohio State
Oklahoma

both scored

 

[bucknuticus]

Ohio State
Oklahoma

Our game(s) werent even this bad. Plus we gave the world the best BCS champ game!

 

[mre]

As much as I dislike Auburn, I do find it interesting that this little state has won 3 MNCs in a row.

 

[Gorechylde]

Roll Tide ladies and gents...Eat your hearts out!!!! Bwahahahahahah!!!!
