So Who is the Champion? (Casey)


So when I found out like most of you that the BCS National Championship game was going to be a rematch between LSU and Alabama my first impression was I have already seen this game before. But as time went on things in my head began to change and I began to have a different opinion. Maybe this game would be better, maybe the first game was SO hyped and called the Game Of The Century that both teams came out tennative and they would open things up and show how good they both really were, after all this is the last college football game of the year and we wont see another game till September so get it while you can. Well on all accounts I was wrong and should have waited till September. Now I love to watch Defensive football but this game was offensive. 9 to 0 Alabama at half and not a touchdown scored till 4 minutes into the 4th quarter final score 21-0 Alabama wins. After the game both Alabama and LSU said they deserve the National Title. Both said that through there body of work they have both shown that they are the champs. Well I want to ask the question, Who do you think deserves the title. I know that the people who read this blog are smarter than the idiots that deside this thing now. So Im going to put down the body of work for 4 teams that I have heard people say they deserve the title and I want you to tell me who is the Champion in your mind. (Ranking on this list where from the time the game was played.)
  1. Alabama: Alabama finished the season at 12-1 and 7-1 in the SEC and #1 in the AP poll. There schedule consisted of wins over; Kent State, #23 Penn State, North Texas, #14 Arkansas, #12 Florida, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Mississippi St, Georgia Southern, and #24 Auburn. Of all those teams only Arkansas finished in the AP top 25 at #5. There one loss came to #1 LSU who they in turn beat in the National title game. (Note Alabama did not play in the SEC Title game)
  2. LSU: LSU finished the season at 13-1 and 8-0 in the SEC and #2 in the AP poll. There schedule consisted of wins over; #3 Oregon, Northwestern State, #25 Mississippi State, #16 West Virginia, Kentucky, #17 Florida, Tennessee, #20 Auburn, #2 Alabama, Western Kentucky, Ole Miss, #3 Arkansas, and #14 Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, of those teams Oregon(#4), Arkansas(#5), West Virginia(#17), and Georgia(#19) finished in the AP Top 25. There only loss game in the BCS title game to eventual #1 Alabama.
  3. Oklahoma State: The Cowboys finished the season at 12-1 and 8-1 in the Big 12 and #3 in the AP poll. There season consisted of wins over; Louisiana-Lafayette, Arizona, Tulsa, #8 Texas A&M, Kansas, #22 Texas, Missouri, Baylor, #14 Kansas St, Texas Tech, #10 Oklahoma, and #4 Stanford. They also won the Big 12. Of the teams they beat Stanford(#7), Baylor(#13), Kansas St(#15) and Oklahoma(#16) finished in the AP Top 25. There only loss came to Iowa State.
  4. Oregon: Oregon finished the season at 12-2 and 8-1 in the Pac 12 and #4 in the AP poll. There schedule consisted of wins over, Nevada, Missouri St, Arizona, California, #18 Arizona St, Colorado, Washington St, Washington, #4 Stanford, Oregon St, UCLA, and #10 Wisconsin. Of those teams Stanford(#7) and Wisconsin(#10) finished in the AP Top 25. They also won the Pac 12. There 2 losses came to #2 LSU and #6 USC.
So there are the 4 teams that I have heard should be considered National Title contenders even though Alabama has been given the title. Take a look and let me know what you all think. In my mind this is a good thing. It shows that this whole BCS thing is a scam and a should be thrown out. Let me know what you think but In my mind it should be Oklahoma St and LSU for the fact that Alabama didn't win its own conference.

  1. I also think that either LSU or Oklahoma St. should be the title contenders considering that in the regular season Alabama lost to LSU and didn't win their conference and that Oregon lost to LSU in the regular season. Oklahoma St didn't even get a chance to prove anything because of the SEC bias that the BCS has for those schools. Without a doubt should have been a game between conference champs that had the best record in my opinion. (LSU & OKST)
