LSU vs Bama - National Championship Game

if you love football you'll watch whether its another defensive knock down drag out or if its lights up the scoreboard. me personally i have no preference, i just want to see good football.......not entertaining football.

Not if you don't have a horse in the fight. TVs around the country flipped the switch a LONG time ago. Hell I'm flipping back and forth and I'm a die hard football fan. This has been one of the worst bowl games this year. Also "we" aren't the target audience here...we are the minority. they're trying to get "casual Joe" to tune in...casual Joe isn't watching this game.

All I'm saying is they FUBAR'ed the NC game this year... They could've given us a MUCH BETTER matchup.

On the college level....no it's not. We've seen this before. This is why there was no excitement for this game, you barely even heard it being promoted this week. NOBODY outside of Alabama or LSU fans were looking forward to this match up or this game.

It should've been OK St vs LSU. Atleast have a offense vs defense story line...not two teams who just beat their heads against a wall and two teams we already watched...it's like watching a crappy sequel. I like defense as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous and will not keep people tuned in on a Monday night.

And this is without getting into the "how can a team play for a championship when they don't even win their conference" debate.

Yeah, I was being just a little snarky with my original comment, and don't disagree.

LSU & Bama were clearly the 2 best teams this year.....and at the end of the day, that's what i wanted to see....not some contrived matchup to drum up a storyline to entertain someone who likely wasn't going to tune in full bore anyway. Screw the casual fan.

Are hardcore fans even tuning in at this point? This is a pathetically boring game. I thought LSU and Alabama were the best two teams as well, but after watching this game I wish it had been some other matchup.
 
Bama defense is really good but LSU is playing like a poorly coached team. If the Tide wins this, I wonder what the final standings will be.
 
LSU is just about to be shut out which will be dissapointing. Hope, they be able to score.

Mr. Tex, ok I got it. I just wanted to see more O oriented team against LSU and let O vs D to decide the game and that is all. No question about how good the both teams are though. I find myself rooting for both teams which is a little weird feeling.
 
To me this is just another argument for a college football playoff. Mainly due to the fact that the teams are rusty as hell. At least of their were playoffs, they wouldn't be so unfocused.

Casual fans bring the money...not the die hards.

And as far as #1 and #2...that's HIGHLY HIGHLY debatable, regardless of how much you want to penalize OK st for having one let down game.

New rule needs to be put into motion....YOU CAN'T COMPETE FOR A NC TITLE IF YOU DON'T EVEN PARTICIPATE IN YOUR CONFERENCE CHAMP. GAME. LSU actually got penalized for winning that game against Bama...they had to play another week while Bama got a bye...now in what realm of reality does that make a lick of sense?

If you want to see two teams rematch it off in the NC game..fine have a playoff and let the team that lost earn their way back. If not, give someone else a shot.

Both of these view points don't really matter, because at the end of the day both sides won't be solved without a playoff.

HOLY CRAP a TD...FINALLY.


P.S.


There's no doubt in my mind that OK St. would've beat LSU tonight and you're lying to yourself if you think they didn't have a shot. LSU's offense sucks, especially after the layoff while Blackmon was Andre Johnson V2.0. If OK St played, they very well could be celebrating a NC title. :kubepalm: Give us a playoff already! Hell I'd settle for a +1
 
I'm watching, but I'm not happy that I've seen this before... LSU (who are little bitches) went into Tuscaloosa and beat they ass!!! (And Oh BTW, a terrible gam). Now, we getta see the same game in a neutral site????


Awesome :gun: NCAA pull your collective heads out of your asses.... This is (CB inspired), "just TURBBLE"!!!

Yup, basically.. And I'll never stop beating that dead horse until this finally gets addressed.

They say the squeaky wheel gets greased first...well not in college football. when is this finally going to be addressed?

These are NOT championship games we are watching and have been watching (outside of a few rare years like '05)...they're nothing, but beauty pageants. Anybody who claims to be a serious football fan should see this as the scam that it really is. It's nothing, but a money grab where you have the same select "elitist programs" competing year in and year out. Sorry, that's not good football to me and not very entertaining either. It's actually anti climatic. With a playoff college football could be bigger than the NFL.
 
SOOOOOOOO!!! At the end of the day, you lose at home, but play and beat that same team... This time on a nutreal site and now you're National Champs????

Shame on the NCAA!!! Dispiscable.... Pathetic!

A "REAL" playoff system wouldn't work??? REALLY????

There's pretty muchthe reason that this was only the second bowl game I watched this entire bowl season!!!!

I don't any argument against a playoff. EVERY OTHER DIVISION IN THE NCAA HAS ONE!!! The NCAA is beyond stupid.
 
I agree with many of you guys about the pros and cons of this game.
How it's boring and the Saban's quote and all.

What I figure, however, is that Bama belongs in this championship game.
I love the Tigers defense, but I always thought their offense is a bit lacking.

It would have been nice (no offense to Tigers fans, I'm not a fan of either team) to see Bama (or the Tigers) going against a high scoring offense like OSU (or whatever team of your choosing).

Personally, I love both styles of football. (High scoring or low scoring).
But watching teams from different conferences fighting it out for the national championship would be my preference.
 
Best part of this game is that it's causing Ben Tate, Derrick Ward, and Chris Ogbonnaya to talk trash to each other on twitter. Pretty funny

What I miss is the 27-24 games. The all offesne like Baylor/Washington is just boring to me as these two all defense games. Want to see good units get challenged and balanced football.
 
Before we can say it's a true "National Championship Game" there needs to be installed a playoff system, simple & sweet, which measures how effective a team is executing end of season. This was an absolute bore :mariopalm:

And while we're on this BCS bash fest.. If they're not going to give us a playoff, can they atleast not give us almost a 2 month layoff before we see the "two best teams" face off?

Bama kicked their ass and I guess it's credit to whoever can stay sharp, but there shouldn't be a layoff like that. You take the chance of having a team come out totally flat and rusty, which makes for a bad football game. Kudos to Saben though for keeping his boys sharp and ready to go. I guess this is a by-product of having so many irrelevant bowl games. Cut the amount of bowl games and use the big bowl games as a playoff bracket. You can stick whatever teams don't qualify for the "playoff bracket" in the Texas Bowl or other similar irrelevant bowl games.

The only problem is that we can not dictate how the two best teams' makeups might be.

One year, let's say the two most deserving teams could have incredible offenses.
The next year both can have dominant defenses.
As a fan, I have no argument about either style; I can enjoy both.

It would be a great game to watch the Texans going against the Pats.
Hey, but Ravens-Texans is also a good match-up as well.

I guess if we're not fans of neither the Texans nor the Ravens, this coming match-up is not very sexy either.

Completely agree. It was close to 50 days or something like that when Alabama last played a game. That's stupid. Each team is always going to have a long layoff, but they could at least shorten it by a week or week and a half. You're right, all those damn bowl games just make the season drag on and on and on. Who gives rat's ass about the Fight Hunger Bowl, Potato Bowl, Beef O'Brady's Bowl, and all the other lowly games.

There should be maybe 15 bowl games tops. There's what, 110+ FBS teams? Over half of them get to go to a bowl game which doesn't make sense. Reward the top 1/3 teams and that's it. Minimum 7-5 record to go to a bowl.
 
there is no reason why the current bowl configuration could be formulated like a sweet 16 then elite 8, final four then a true National Championship game. none.

lol, exactly. It's funny to hear self-ascribed diehards complain about it being a defensive oriented game after the last few weeks of the Texans' regular season were all defensive struggles. I love seeing great defenses tear apart an offense.

Bama just proved that they belonged in the NC. Their defense was the best in the country coming into this game, and it showed. Their defense flat out won this game. I think it's cool to see that as opposed to another NC shootout like we have just about every year. I really couldn't care less what Average Joe thinks about the game, I love football so I'm watching it. If touchdowns are all that matter to the fan, then they should go watch Arena football instead.

I would be happy with an 8 game playoff. Use the existing bowls as the playoff games. I think it would generate even more money, as the games become meaningful.
 
- 6th national championship for the SEC.
- defenses win national championships in the SEC.
- someone is just butthurt the big 12 still isn't a rival conference.

I saw enough basketball scores for footballs games, personally I loved getting a good physical game. If you put either of those two offenses against any other team and they put up 30.
 
That had to be the worst display of QBing I've seen in a big game, by Jefferson. He really has no business playing QB. I realize that Bama (and LSU) has NFL players all over their defense. But Jefferson looked like he had never played the position before. I can't believe a major program like LSU doesn't have someone better on the roster.

It's a free country; each and every one of us has his/her own preference.
I'm just glad that football is the most intricate sport for me to watch/share with others.
I love all the different opinions (as long as they are not too... you know).
- Same thing with politics.

Like I said, if my brother-in-law and I can have such different opinions about KJ and we still watch football together almost every week, we know we have something in common while retaining our own opinion just the same.

I don't see any problem with that. :bender:

My point exactly...good football is good football whether it's offense or defense. As far as the BCS, yeah it's garbage but what are you going to do? the college presidents of BCS conferences don't want to give the "little man" conferences an opportunity to cut into their pocket books...& the BCS bowl officials seem to not care whether or not their bowls are seen as legit. It is what it is.

& you don't have to go 16 or even 8 teams deep for a playoff. 4 would suffice b/c usually only the top 3-4 teams have a legit claim to the title anyway. the 5th best team in the nation almost assuredly is going to have a loss or two..& them being left out of playing for the title is far less egregious than leaving out the 3rd & 4th best teams....especially if those teams have the same record as #1 & #2. Conference games should also either be included for every conference or done away with in every conference.

Your overall point is accurate, because in a given year we don't know if the best team is strong on offense, defense or is balanced. I think in this case we already had a very good idea because of the first game. If this was the only one of these game, Alabama would get the true credit it deserves for a silly great performance, but since most us thought that LSU could not move the ball because we had that act before an understanding performance is largely getting underrated.

No to bring up this :deadhorse , but if these teams had earned the spots through a playoff the overall excitement would have been higher.
 
On the Ravens-Texans thing, it is not a nationally sexy game, but (1) it the NFL and (2) there is tournament where the perception is that teams earn there way to title s and such versus having polls and computers tells us who is the best.

People would have been more excited about this match up if there was any kind of multi team playoff and these two made it back.

Detable, given what Lucky said.

I'm not sure LSU can put up 30 points against a legitimate contender.

Yeah, there's only ONE flaw in this argument.

The Texans earned their way and advanced to have that shot...hence the playoff. So I don't really see the comparison. They won their division (unlike Bama) and earned the opportunity through a playoff game....again, unlike Bama.

The two situations aren't really comparable at all....last I checked the NFL doesn't decide match ups by #s put into a computer. If the NCAA had a playoff game and this was the game we ended up with (Bama and LSU) nobody would complain at all, and MILLIONS more would've watched it. Hell in your analogy you'd have to include a "OK st. type team" into the mix of teams we could be facing next week (because of a playoff) and then who knows what would've happend? In your analogy....GB didn't even make the playoffs, because they lost to KC :rolleyes: (Ok St. losing to Iwoa st.)

The current system sucks and is not good for college football.
 
Is it me or is college football in general becoming more boring? All of these stupid whogivesaratsass.com bowls that mean absolutely nothing are getting tired. What's funny is how these players after winning one of these stupid bowls are putting on the bowl champion hats and shirts like they really won something. Woohoo we might have had a 6-6 record but we just beat another irrelevant team and won the weknowourseasonreallysucked.com Bowl! Let's put on the hats and shirts, call ourselves champions and go to Disney Land!

When Texas played in the Holiday Bowl I totally didn't even realize it was on. I was channel surfing and stumbled on it in the 4th QTR and guess what, I kept right on surfing until I landed on Pawn Stars. Yeah, that's right .. watching Chumlee overspend for a fake mandolin was more entertaining then watching my own team play in some stupid game that has less meaning than a NFL preseason game.

If the current system didn't exist and someone proposed it everyone would think they are retarded or something.

What if we had this crap in the NFL? Would anyone seriously buy into it? What if instead of the last week of exciting playoff action we just witnessed we had the Jiffy Lube Lube Job Bowl in Bozeman, Montana featuring the Kansas City Chiefs vs the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles win and VY runs around with his Lube Job Bowl Champions hat and shirt pumping his chest celebrating that they are the Lube Job Bowl champions!

Then we anxiously await our bowl the following week because we had a decent season and are in a decent bowl. Maybe we (Texans) get up for playing the Lions in the Viagra Bowl (pun intended). Because we tanked the last 3 games we miss out on a major bowl though.

The 2 of the 3 major bowls end up with the Ravens vs Saints and the Niners vs Steelers. Awesome matchups! I am jacked!

However all of that is meaningless because the Super Bowl is the only bowl that matters. The computers and voters have decided that the Packers vs Patriots will play for the Super Bowl! This game is so huge that the ABC Network decides to air it on ESPN instead of ABC. Yeah!

MONEY GRAB


That's all you need to know about college football.


The rich get richer and the "outsiders" get beat on the head and knocked back down to whatever irrelevant bowl game they fall into to. Rinse and repeat...SSDY. It has absolutely nothing to do with finding #1 and #2, but has more to do with feeding the same hands with plenty of greasy cash.

Some of the balls he threw looked like the spinning practically end over end.

I have no intention of discussing whether the current system is better than a play-off system.

I merely want to point out that I love to watch either a defensive battle or a shootout, or anything in between.

And then, as a fan of the Texans, I will enjoy watching us play the Ravens.

If we happen to play in the SB against a great defense, I wouldn't complain at all. It may be a boring game for the rest of the fans all over the country because their choice of "high scoring offense" didn't make it. I get that.

But if you choose not to enjoy the SB for such reason, it's your loss, sorry!
 
That game sucked. I stopped watching in the third quarter. And really, I don't mind the defensive slug fest or the match up, but jordan jefferson is awful. What happened to lee or whatever his name is? Lsu played different thanb they had played all year. The honey badger is immensely overrated. What happened to lsu's rb's? That was not a good game because lsu's offense failed to show up. Bama doesn't have the most wide open offensive attack, but they at least moved the ball. This game could have been really embarrasing for lsu if bama capatalized more. You cannot have a unit of a team play that poorly and say its a good game. Yes bamas defense is amazing, but you play THAT bad? Shame on them. Hopefully this leads to a play off system because that game sucked. Hookem nailed it. Let teams actually play meaningful games. Let teams be one loss away. Give the fans the best match ups possible. Let teams fight for it.

It has everything to do with the format. If these teams didn't already face off, fans would be screaming for this game. Sadly "We already saw it". Time to move on.

This was not the best match up that could've been presented...it simply wasn't. Alabama should've won the first game going away, the reason for the outcome tonight on a neutral field. It isn't even really about the two teams in this game, but has more to do with how we decide these "champions". I already said I don't mind a defensive struggle...but don't show me the same crap. There needs to be reform within college football and I only pray that the old cronies die off before I do and I can see that change. Money talks and B.S. walks though.. and apparently I have more B.S. :)
