There are several teams with the same record as Alabama, teams that will actually win their conference championship. That's not Alabama hate, that's football fact.ROLL TIDE for all you Haters!!!
While I think the BCS is very flawed, it is supposed to put the 2 best teams in the country together for a Championship showdown. Even though Bama lost to number 1 LSU, show me another team in the country who went toe to toe with LSU and it took overtime to decide it. I think LSU is the unanimous number 1 beating several ranked teams including 2 top 5, but show me another team who is better than Bama for the number 2 slot. Their schedule was not great, but they did what good teams are supposed to do to inferior oppenents...blow them out. If these two teams were not in the same division of the same conference, there would be no debate whether they should be awarded a rematch.
ROLL TIDE ROLL! SEC RULES!
I agree to a point.
So, Oklahoma State is a one loss team with NO conf. championship, should they go?
For YEARS, SEC faced teams like Ohio State(NO champ game until this year), Oregon(NO champ game till this year) who plays a break even UCLA this year. 2 loss team facing a 6-6 team, that win should catupult anyone into the NAT CHAMP game.
What about Oklahoma which lost it's conf champ game and still made it to National Championship. Conf championship not a valid argument in this case. Still my point, Bama is the # 2 team in the polls, and the second best team in the nation, and they deserve a spot in National Title game.
I really want to rid CFB of the BCS in favor of a playoff, but it is what it is until then. Then it will be a crapshoot, any given Saturday rules will apply.
ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!
If Oklahoma State continues to be a one loss team, they will have won their conference. Bedlam series next week will decide the Big12 championship (OU vs. OSU). If OU wins, they win the conference title and will have two losses and won't make it to the BCS title game. But, if OSU wins, and wins big, they could jump over Alabama. It will probably come down to that one game. But even if OSU wins, they might not jump Alabama. It'll be up to the computers.I agree to a point.

At this point, either of the teams mentioned WILL get it handed to them by a LSU or Bama team, so why not a rematch of a classic regular season game by two equally strong teams??
Classic? Are you talking about that yawnfest from a month ago?
You don't know good football. That was a classic slugfest between the two best teams in the Nation going to overtime. Offense is sexy, defense wins championships! 5 soon to be 6 in a row for the SEC.
