BCS NCG: Bama vs LSU


HeatCheck

Recommended Posts

So they shouldn't have put the two best teams in the NCG.

Interesting theory.

This has got to be getting embarassing for you.

You come into this thread, put up petty arguments that I then proceed to destroy, you duck out when the battle is lost, and then return only later to spew the same nonsense.

Alright whatever your name is, provide me with one reason why the two best teams in the nation shouldn't have played in the NCG. This should be simple enough for you (I hope-I really did try to put it in your level)

Or I'm to busy doing stuff not relating to the Huddle to worry about you thinking I'm ducking away from a debate on a message board. Also, I never said that the two best teams shouldn't play for the title. I said that using the eyeball test to determine the two best teams is weak. I never said both teams weren't deserving, just that OSU was to. The only thing I disagreed with you about was that it is a "FACT" that Alabama and LSU would beat OSU. You, and every other "expert" have no way of knowing that. I have no clue what I did to get your panties into such a wad, but your personal problem you seem to have against me is rather amusing.....

P.S.

I think a ten year old could probably figure out my screenname is Cardiac Cat....it's really not that difficult.

If LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the nation then, why is this even an argument?

We've already established that there isn't a plus one game this year. It doesn't matter if you or I think there should be. So the voters made the only choice they could. To stick who they felt were the two best teams on the field, and every piece of evidence suggest they made the right choice. You obviously couldn't have taken LSU out of the game, and you most certainly could not taken Alabama out. Ratings and all this other nonsense to continue to run back to is irrelevant. That isn't the point of the game-to excite people-the point of the game is to determine who the best teams in college football are-and the evidence would suggest that that happened this year.

Anyone who knew what "CardiacCat"'s screen name (which looks like it was made Nya ten year old) was please stand up.

It's an argument because I called you out when you claimed it to be fact that LSU and Alabama would beat OSU....

They would both be the favorites to do so yes. Both teams are more complete than OSU.

Should we stick underdogs in all the big games because it'd be more "exciting?"

you think the system is broke now..

Just because OSU can best LSU or Bama doesn't mean they are a better team.

Nowhere did I say they were better either, I just have a problem with someone stating that something is a fact, when it's not at all factual....

Nothing is 100% factual in this system or any system for that matter, we should all know that by now.

But we can use what we see on the field to infer who the two best teams are. And for the most part, people think it's Bama and LSU. Will we know for sure, no. But you can never really know for sure, even in a playoff system.

It's what we have and with what we have they got it right.

This is all I'm arguing, there is absolutely no way to know who the best team in the nation is when you have three one loss teams that all had multiple quality opponents on their schedule. At least in a playoff, you get several teams who qualify for at least a chance to play for a title based on the work they do in the regular season. That to me is a better indication of a true champion. Having a beauty contest to determine who is "worthy" to compete for a title is a joke.....

Again, nowhere am I saying LSU and Alabama didn't deserve to be in that game. Just that they weren't the only two teams that did....

I know you are but there's really no use arguing that. Because in a playoff system there is no way to know who the best team is either.

I didn't watch most of that poofest, I turned it off when the commentators were showing stats but prefaced it with "If you are a Jordan Jefferson relative, please turn away now" but I will say I think both Stanford and OSU beat both LSU and Bama.

Preseason rankings FTW!!!!!!

Most intelligent post in this thread. Damn.

I think OSU is better than Alabama. They played better teams and beat them. Alabama played only two good teams in the regular season. They had an ACC caliber schedule. It must be nice to not have to play USC (edit: I realized this may be confusing to people who don't live in South Carolina, by USC I mean South Carolina not Southern Cal. My apologies) or Georgia, only play two good teams, lose one of them, not play in the conference championship game, and still get into the NC game.

I mean the SEC was so bad this year they made Vandy look competitive. WTF

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
