R non Conference Champions in NC Game

[Eric]

it was the closest of games and really did not state definitively..."this team is the better team".

Well you're going to need more than one more game to decide this, since we have one sample of data that says "LSU won." If Bama wins it becomes a draw. Best of 3? Best of 5?

And Okla St., who had more top 25 wins doesn't even get the chance to win.

So 3rd place in the SEC is good enough to get the the NCG I guess. I see some tweaks to the rules coming.

I don't know, because either everyone is so convinced of Bama/LSU or ESPN is suppressing dissent (I would go with the former). I think there is a contingent of people who would rather see Oklahoma State, but they aren't vocal enough to get their voice heard. Overall though, it seems like people are okay with this.

I would be OK with Oklahoma State...they played well on a tough enough schedule although they lost to an unranked team. And it would be an interesting game.

I still believe that Alabama is the better team...

As do I. But I don't pretend to know this for a fact. My contention this whole time is that Alabama, regardless of how good we think they are, do not deserve another chance since they already lost to LSU.

I am not going to watch the game, if Okie State gets in.

I'm going to watch it either way, but Oklahoma State is the only team has the resume to get in the game that hasn't gotten to play LSU to this point.

Same here, I think they are the 2nd best team but they had their shot, maybe the 3rd best team should get a shot now.

Derek...Arkansas can not make a BCS bowl (even being ranked #6). The only way a conference gets 3 teams into BCS bowls is if the conference champion is not ranked #1 and #2 in BCS. Then #1 and #2 make the BCS NC Game and the conference champ gets an auto bid. This could have happened if Georgia would have beat LSU....Georgia would have received the auto bid to Sugar....and if LSU and Bama both remained #1 and #2 then they play for BCS NC. Ark was eliminated from any BCS game the day they lost to LSU. So hopefully Ark gets Cap One....but more than likely goes to Cotton.
