Will you consider LSU/Ohio State the best team in the nation? - The Orange Mane

Jens1893 · 12-03-2007, 12:32 PM

Will you consider the winner of the LSU/OSU game the best in the nation?

No flaming who got hosed etc. just a simple yes or no. My proposed random draw to select the 2 teams to play for it all in NOLA still looks good to me.

I will have to figure out a way how to get a split MNC this season in the next month or so.

Absolutely not. But, the decision to have these teams in there isnt the teams fault. The system is flawed. But i dont feel either team should be in the big game. JMO

It doesn't matter what we consider because that is the way it will be

Not sure about that. Even though on paper it will be recorded as a Championship 98% of the country feels that neither should be. And thats saying a lot.

hmm I didn't see the poll out there that says 98% dont feel either should be there. Hell Ohio St and LSU fans probably make up more than 2%

Im not sure what network i saw it on this morning but the only two states that felt the BCS got it right was..... you guessed it, Ohio and Louisana.

Both teams won their conference. That should be the #1 criteria for playing for the national championship. I'll have no problem accepting either LSU or Ohio State as the National Champs...

Billy Clyde Puckett · 12-03-2007, 05:01 PM

I think it is great that it is ambiguous and we can argue about it till next season begins.

Till all conferences have a championship game I think its a poor point to argue that. No team should get into it watching other teams lose for two weeks.

The arguments that come with it are one of the reasons why I think College FB is so popular over there.

I kinda agree, although I don´t think a Championship Game solves everything. I like it that all teams play each other once in the Pac 10 and that you can´t luck out with your conference schedule like Kansas did this season.

No...but I am biased.

I dont know if I will consider them the best but Im not really THAT compelled to watch.

Exactly and as a college football fan, that is one reason I don't want a playoff. The debate keeps people interested. How many people even give college basketball a thought between March/April and December?

Virginia Tech was ranked higher than LSU and won their conference too.

anthonypacino · 12-03-2007, 11:46 PM

I don't think football is like baseball, where the "hottest" team at the time gets rewarded. Look what happend to the Rockies, were they the second best team in MLB? No, they just got hot at the right time and cooled off at the wrong time, the Red Sox were pretty constant all year.

LSU assraped VT and also won their conference.

No. I will say this will be the first time, and probably the last, that I will be rooting for the Buckeyes.

Yep. But whats the BCS motto? Better to lose early than later? VaTech's 1 loss late in the season was too Boston College while LSU lost to Unranked Arkansas late in the season.

I don't like the idea of a 2 loss champion either, it cheapens the concept of a national title....I mean its just absurd to have a 2 loss champion, period. But I can't bring myself to root for Ohio State on personal grounds, I will hold my nose and root for LSU.

We'd step on your dick and punch you in the teeth. There is a reason we finshed ahead of you in the BCS. I'll listen to the SEC talk, but not from sissy teams that lose to WAC schools in bowl game it shouldn't be in.

I'm sure you would with that jaugernaut of an offense you guys have...puh-leeze!

Rohirrim · 12-04-2007, 09:41 AM

IMO, on any given Saturday, any of the teams in the top 15 could beat any of the other teams in the top 15. Until we have a playoff, we'll never know.
