Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 146123, member: 363"] If Ok St doesn't lose to Iowa St, then they play in the national championship game. Losing to an unranked opponent will derail your national championship season with a 12 game schedule. Stanford, Boise had their chances. Bama's loss was the less of all the evils because they loss to the #1 team, not perfect but not without any merit or decent explanation either. Why is this so hard to understand? In addition, The SEC has clearly been the best conference as well, I don't like it but it's true. Somebody like Oregon, Stanford, or Ok ST needed to step up and they didn't. Hell, the ducks lost to LSU first game of the year and then loss to USC, that would have been interesting had they beaten USC, that would have been the rematch right there. I think USC could compete next year to win it all.. Somebody needs to step up outside of the state of alabama [/QUOTE]
