Now the question is: Is Oklahoma state really the 2nd best team in the Nation?

The only way that will ever be answered is with a playoff. Otherwise the spinners will spin it the way they want.

Do you really think they would go to number 2 after losing to a miserable Texas Tech team?Not being smart, just a sincere question.

I think Bama's best chance to get in the NC game is for LSU to win out. If/when Oklahoma beats Oklahoma state, the voters will look at the losses. Alabama lost to the #1 team in the nation and Bama gets in...I hope

I think the only that hurts Bama in this, is that they lost at home! I think they deserve it, but think the home loss will weigh heavy on the voters!

The way the computers are set up either definitely prefer "offensive" minded teams, or they just plain favor Big 12 teams period. They absolutely LOVE the Big 12 teams, even though they have proven time and time again to be fodder for every team in the BCSNC game except OU in 2000. The Big 12 is 1-5 in BCSNC games....while the SEC is 7-0.

Brent, you're right on Oregon as well. Oregon played a weakened LSU, and ended up scoring a trash td with about 20 seconds left on the clock to make it a 13 point loss instead of a 20 point loss. The big arguement is that even though the game was played on a neutral field, that there were about 75% LSU fans there. Well, last time I checked, home field is worth no more than 3 points. That still leaves a whole lot of points out there unaccounted for from Oregon's standpoint. Besides...it's not like Oregon's "high flying" offense could even put up points against an Auburn defense last year that wasn't exactly one of the best SEC defenses to ever hit the field.

All that aside...it sucks that we didn't handle our own business in a game that we statistically dominated against LSU.

This don't really look like domination to me!!!

You have to realize that most teams' idea of domination isn't the same as Auburn's. If anyone knows domination...they know it. 4 different times this year, to be exact.

However, while watching the game, at no point before the clock hitting zero in regulation did I ever feel like LSU controlled the game in any way. I did feel as if Bama dictated the game the entire way. Unfortunately, when the clock hit zero at the end of regulation, I knew Bama had lost the upper hand due to field goal kicking. The two could have probably played until now and neither would have scored a td.

Scoreboard is all that matters, though.

Bama only punted 2 times to LSU's 6

I think I'll step it up some

I think I'll step it up some, since my posting bothers you so much, bill.

And you feel the need to respond to every one of them.

2nd most wins in the nation since 2008, behind only Boise St.
