Sadly..............the coaches are wrong.

[delhalew]

That is really close. I have serious doubts about the Harris poll closing the gap. It's a real shame.

[LiveLaughLove]

That sucks for OSU. Bama had their chance AT HOME and didnt get it done. Guess the regular season doesnt mean anything.

We really screwed OSU by losing to Baylor. Whooping our butts is no big deal this year.

[SoonerKnight]

Forgive me if I am not sad for them. But I think it is stupid to allow the BCS to become an even bigger joke than it is by allowing the same conference teams to play for the MNC! That is wrong and not fair to anyone. OSU deserves a shot and should be allowed to play. Alabama will not get it done and we will have a bigger stink left this year.

Right. When I say it's a shame, I'm not crying for the pokes. More that I am lamenting the forfeiture of what little integrity college football had left after this nightmarish season.

[StoopTroup]

LOL....It just goes to show, You can have all the feelings you want but reality is a bitch. Don't lose to ISU if you want respect.

Don't lose to Texas Tech, Baylor or Oklahoma State smack here

[BigTip]

Shows that the "omg, anyone but an SEC team again" crowd is over shadowed by the "it's only OSU, we can't take them seriously" crowd.

Good grief. That's not what this about. This is about the voters anointing their chosen ones...damn the torpedoes.

I think that's where folks continue to miss the Greatness that is College Football. Where else can you have so many folks argueing over who is best than College Football? You can go to the NFL if you want. Seats are expensive and if your Team does actually go to a Playoff or the Super Bowl...checkout the prices of those Playoff Tickets and good damn luck getting a ticket to the Super Bowl.

It sucks our guys finished poorly but all in all....this is a great Finish. You aren't supposed to have a perfect Season. When someone does....that's what makes is Special. I know for a fact that 2000 was Special for me. Hell....so was 2008. I saw a great Game against phlorida. It sucked we lost but we did lose to a damn NCAA Legend. Folks can continue to trash or hate Tebow but the dude is still doing his own thing and making it work.

[OU_Sooners75]

Yeah, because let me tell you having human polls deciding who should play for a championship is pure greatness.

[BermudaSooner]

Guys, the difference that OSU made up on Bammer looks like it will be enough. They will have a sizeable lead on them in the computers, and just need to be close in the human polls. They are much closer than last week thanks to V Tech losing and our inability to show up. It will not be a rematch--OSU will make it.

[StoopTroup]

They have tried it the AP Way....The Coaches way....the BCS way....they have tweaked this and they have tweaked that....

The one thing that is consistent is....just what Stoops has continued to believe. Win and and you are probably gonna get a shot at a National Championship.

Sure, that's entertaining, but so is arguing going into March Madness who should be in what bracket, then filling out your own in the office March Madness pool. We will always find entertainment in college football. But having a bad taste in your mouth because a certain team got hosed is not fun.

[delhalew]

The facts are laid out clearly. Bama getting the nod is nothing more than being hypnotized by a pretty crimson helmet. As a Soonerfans, I can sympathize. That doesn't make it right.

Which certain Team got hosed?

Now you're just being ridiculous.

I don't understand what the comparison is all about with the NFL. The NFL has a playoff as well as every college division except division 1. Are you saying college (div. 1) football is great because we can always lie to one another in making bull**** claims?

Do you seriously think oSu or Bama can beat LSU? They are gonna walk away with the MNC. oSu will be a blowout if they show up with their ISU Team and if Bama won....you'd still have a tie.

what they have done is tweaked and tweaked to where the computers are just there for show

Anybody can win a game. Anytime. Forgetting how completely irrelevant that is, there is one Oklahoma team that carries themselves like winners. Like it or not, it ain't us.

End of the day, having the most impressive loss is no way to get to a championship game. Victories over quality opponents, that is the criteria the media usually uses in the courtship of the SEC. This year they have been forced to flip the script.

Tie? Under the BCS process depending on who is selected, if OSU shows up with their ISU team, LSU wins and LSU is tBCS champion, if Bama wins vs LSU, then Bama is tBCS champion. If LSU walks away with the trophy they are the champions. What tie scenario did I overlook?
