But it wouldn't be the best teams. 1, 3 and 5 maybe, 10, nope.
Who says some geeky sports writer knows what team is the best?
Yeah, just because they watch almost every game, study the teams, and have spent their careers watching and writing about the sport, what the hell to they know.
Maybe we should just ask the fans.
So here's the question: Is anybody going to give a RATS BEHIND which team wins the BCS in 2012 and 2013??

Or maybe we should use stats and take out the biased human element of coaches and writers. Numbers don't lie, people do.

I would like to point out, for the record, and as an LSU fan it pains me to say it, but
LSU and Alabama were SEC West CO-Champions in 2011.
Each went 7-1 in the SEC and had the highest division record in the west. That makes them SEC West Co-Champions. So to say that Alabama made it to the title game without winning their division is FALSE.
Ummm, when the title game started, LSU was 8-0 in the SEC, while Bama was 7-1. Bama got to the title game by being the #2 ranked team in the nation.

Stats only? Stats favor the teams with weak schedules and seriously handicap the teams with great defenses.

LOL! Boy I am dumb. I wish I could neg rep myself! Can you do it for me?
I guess I just wished LSU's one loss was in the regular season!
Must have gotten confused about 2003, when LSU and Ole Piss were technically "SEC West Co-Champions"

College football fans will.
Those are the same people who give a rat's behind whether or not LSU beats Alabama in the regular season, or whether or not Michigan beats OSU in the regular season, or whether or not Notre Dame beats USC in the regular season.
Those people aren't you. Like a good college basketball fan, you'd prefer to sleep during what you consider to be an irrelevant regular season, and wake up only when a 32 team playoff starts up - including 3, 4, and maybe even 5 loss teams.
Ginscpy, you know what the scariest words in college football are?
"You play Alabama next?"

What? I mean, I know LSU will be loaded too. But do you think Nick Saban isn't going to have a defense that will keep offensive coordinators up at night or give them nightmares when they do sleep?
He just reloaded.
Not this year.

They can at least plan for Saban.
No one knows what the fuck the Hat is going to do, not even him.
I see 3 general lines of reasoning here that are flawed and should be thrown out of any conversation.
1. College football has many, many teams vying for a championship. The NFL has few.
In fact, only about half the teams from the Power5 have any realistic shot at next year's title - and I'm being charitable.
2. The 4 team playoffs will open up the possibility of playing for a championship to more teams.
Well, yeah, kind of. It actually closes the door to more teams if you compare it instead to a Plus One system.
3. A playoff system will make sure that the team who deserves it gets a national championship.
Nope - just like a team that definitely did not "deserve it" won the SuperBowl last year, the same thing will happen in college football soon enough. Some 2 game loser will get hot at the end of some such thing. College football has been the only sport that really made that big a deal about "who deserves it". Other sports just have a playoff. The 4 team playoff is a step away from giving the championship to the team that earned it and an 8 team playoff would be even worse.
A couple of years back 'Bama stole a championship by executing their game plan of knocking McCoy out of the game. Hey, it's part of the game and all that, but anyone could have done it. Even a 4 seed or an 8 seed. This will happen soon enough.
So don't makeup bullshit. Bama's game plan did not include injuring the QB. But if you can't play with the big boys maybe soccer is a better sport for you.

Oh gee, forgive me for actually watching the game. Perhaps if I had only read about it on Wikipedia I would have your astute observations.
Not only did the Tide include knocking McCoy out of the game in their plan, but it pretty much *was* their plan. It was the only way they could win and they followed through and they won. It was legal, then, as it is now and it has long been considered a time-honored tradition in football.... one that will disappear soon and it's a game plan that will get coaches fired in the future, but I do recognize a difference between the football of the past and the football of the present and future unlike some people on-board, so let me say congratulations to the Tide on winning a championship by beating Texas.
My Huskers never thought to send some thug into the middle to beat the fuck out of McCoy. Pity, we had just the thug to do it that year. Guess we just aren't that smart.
