WHAT?!?!?! I guess they think 14-0 is worse than 12-1 with a loss to Iowa State

Them Cowboys have a wicked sense of humor. What they do in the Big 12 is not what I would call football. Football requires a team to be good in more than one aspect of the game. The really good offensively, they sucked at defense, and not so sure about special. There lack of great competition in the Big 12 killed the chances.
People need to stop blaming Bama for exploiting a loophole. People need to blame OU, OSU, Boise, etc teams that held their destiny in their own hands and they all choked it away. Blame them not Bama. All these haters are doing is giving Bama players a massive chip on their shoulders.

Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
I bet their wicked good defense could take care of both Alabama and LSU. :biggrin2:
Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
WAAAHHHHH! The whining is hilarious. As much as I hate to admit it, a tiny shred of me wanted Oklahoma State to get the nod just to see LSU hollow them out and work them like a sock puppet. All of the "offensive" ninnies don't understand that the Pokes style of offense - and utter lack of defense - would be squarely in LSU's wheelhouse.

Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
It won't surprise me if they do. Stanford likes to run the ball and they play pretty good on the defensive side of the ball by non-SEC standards. Oklahoma State's defense is abysmal, save for their penchant for creating turnovers. However, that penchant is no doubt magnified by the throw, throw, throw mentality of the conference they play in. Against Stanford, I don't think they'll get that many chances.

Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
They can hate us all they want. They had the opportunity to play for the title dropped in their lap and they lost to a 27 point under dog. Contrary to what they may think that is not our fault lol
We did not fly our team to Ames, Iowa and disguise them as Iowa State.
OSU lost their opportunity because they lost a game they should have easily won.
They can whine til the cows come home but, in the end, they have to face the fact that they blew it. It's that simple really.

Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
It amazes me the mentality these OSU fans/supporters have regarding them being more deserving of the #2 spot. All I read is "you had your shot and lost", "what happens if Bama wins the NC game, will they play a 3rd game to decide who's champ?". They reference Aubies 04 season and compare their situation with that. They also accuse Alabama of being in control of the media, SEC, and NCAA. Anyone that has followed Alabama football for any length of time can tell you that we're not the sweetheart of the media and the NCAA. That goes to N. Dame, Ohio State, Texas etc.
Rematches are not unheard of before either. It has occurred before with conference championships at least one time I know (Alabama-Florida) and I'm sure it has happened other times. If Florida would have won the SEC CG, but lost to us in the regular season, they still would have been the undisputed SEC champs.
They also forget the fact that when they pull stats from past seasons (regarding who was ranked where and who went to what bowl game) That they need to evaluate the whole body of teams and their records. Usually there is a reason why a team was ranked where they were. It's not a perfect system, and I'm a supporter of some form of playoff, but even with a playoff some teams will feel they got shafted.
This is a unique, unprecedented situation in which the two best teams in the country are not only in the same conference, but the same division of the same conference. They need to forget all that. They need to look at the facts. Alabama lost to #1 by 3 pts in overtime. A #1 team that had been putting up 30-50 pts a game on every opponent they faced until that game. OSU lost to an unranked team in double overtime. This was a team that was supposed to be a "schedule filler" game for them. They blew a 20+ point lead in the 3rd quarter and ultimately lost in double overtime. How can anybody with half a brain think they should be ranked ahead of UA?
Then the issue of not winning your conference. Well first, when the two best teams in the country are in the same division of the same conference, both can't be conference champ now can they? Gary Danielson said that issue was proposed several years ago at a BCS officials meeting. They brought the "don't win your conference, you don't play in the NC game" up for discussion. It was shot down before it was voted on. I wished I could find that interview, but it seems like he said the big 12 representatives were in disagreement of the rule (don't quote me).
Anyway they have a pretty lame and weak argument for their team. They claim they're boycotting the NC and without their fanbase they won't fill the seats...yada yada. Obviously they haven't been to Tuscaloosa on a Saturday afternoon at Bryant Denny and seen the full 100,000+ seats for a regular season game!! RTR

Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
We have friends who are OSU fans and the bickering/complaining has already started. My wife, normally the calm/cool one btwn us is even fired up. I told her.... We are Bama! Act like you have been here before. Silence is the best remedy IMHO. This will make for interesting get togethers over the holidays with our OSU friends.
RTR!!!!

Re: Okie Stat: I hate Bama thread
You guys may have already known or checked on this but you have to see just how bad the defenses are in the Big 12. They are the "new" Pac 10, spread offenses that have no interest of stopping anyone. And Arizona was 1 of their OOC games and they are garbage.
Yards per game Points per game
Arizona-460.5 #110 35.4 #108
Baylor-477.5 #114 35.7 #109
Texas Tech-485.6 #115 39.3 #117
Kansas-516.4 #120 43.8 #120
