But that is not the point.

That's the only argument I've made the entire thread, so you people are jumping on the wrong person then....I've already said both LSU and Alabama deserved to play for a title. In my opinion so did OSU, and honestly all things considered I think OSU should have gone because they hadn't already lost to LSU. I've heard the whole Bama's loss is better argument, and my stance is a loss is a loss. I don't care who you lost to, who did you beat....

I just made a statement and you were the one who quoted me.

Just because you can beat a team doesn't mean you are the best team. The two best teams this season were LSU and Bama.

I don't dispute that personnel wise the two best teams are LSU and Alabama, my problem is using the eyeball test on a teams personnel to determine who should be allowed to play for a national championship, when personnel goes out the window once a game begins....

Well that's what the BCS is, an eye ball test. It always has been.

You have a problem with the system, you shouldn't have a problem with these teams playing in the game because, if you didn't' know, we are using the BCS system.

Funny, I never said I had a problem with the two teams "worthiness" of competing for a title....

I never once said OSU would shut down LSU or Alabama' date=' what I said was an offense with the explosive playmakers that OSU has could potentially give either defense some trouble. Obviously Alabama's running game would look better against the Pokes, and OSU would have to pick and choose their spots against an excellent Tide defense, but Brandon Weeden also wouldn't miss wide open receivers like JJ did. Just because you (or anyone else for that matter) state that OSU couldn't have beat Alabama doesn't mean it's a fact, or for that matter accurate....would Alabama give OSU all they could handle and maybe more, perhaps. But I also think Justin Blackmon would be a matchup nightmare for Dre Kirkpatrick. There's no way to know for sure beacause it never did, and never will happen. That's all I'm arguing, not that either team didn't deserve to be there, just that there's no way to claim it as a fact that either would have beat OSU or OSU would have beat either of them....[/quote']

Jordan Jefferson is a good QB. Not a great future NFL HoF'er prospect. But a good QB. He doesn't just miss wide open receivers.

I think you are once again undervaluing having a great defense. I think you look at things form an offensive point of view. People are talking about Alabama as one of the greatest defenses in college football history.

It isn't about the BCS system. It's about the two best teams playing for the NCG. That happened. Regardless of whether the system blows or not.

On a side note, what did everyone think of Kirkpatrick? Seeing as how we should be in great position to draft him and he is in position of need I'd like to get some insight, good and bad.

That game should have done little to sway people one way or the other. Just wasn't involved.

But I have watched him for 2 years and I see a physical CB who can tackle and be a asset in the run game.

As far as coverage, the number one thing I look for in a CB, he could use some help.

Great athlete though with great potential.

For those of you who now says that last night clearly proves that the best two teams played because of Alabamas victory... answer me this.

Had OSU climbed over Bama by a slight margin in the BCS, and OSU handedly beat LSU and Bama beat Standford, would that have clearly ment that the best two teams in the nation played each other???

Because if that did Happen I am sure all you the SEC bias fans would be saying the exact same thing we are saying now...We did not see OSU get a chance, so to state they are not 1 of the top 2 iis flawed, because frankely we do not know that as fact.

In the game last night I saw more than a few times when WR's (Not even star WR's) Were getting open downfield and behind the coverage... The thing was last night besides a few plays from Bama's QB, nobody was able to take advantage and make those plays... I believe OSU would have been able to take advantage and then put the defenses in a situation where they could not do what they wanted to do.

Based on what I have seen this Season from OSU and Bama, I believe if you put them on the field 5 times, OSU wins the series.... Therefore I do believe OSU is the better team. I am still yet to see Bama's defense play a very good passing QB and have to deal with a good WR/QB Tandom. Truth is, your opinion is no more correct, or right than mines....

Like I said SEC QB's/ Offenses this year have been horrible.... Had Bama been in the Big 12 this year I am 95% confident they have at least 1 loss in the conference, more than likely 2 or more as there offense would not be able to keep up with the scoring that some of those QB's will do.

8/10 years the SEC is the power conference, not this year in my opinion, they are the benefit of reputation from previous seasons.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
