The Rematch is ON Folks.

Mr. Sharpe

Roll Tide. I would like to know who's watching. I'm sure out past Texas nobody's watching at all lol

I heard it's going to be just like the first one, but it could be totally different.

Obviously nobody wanted an all SEC championship and thought Oklahoma state would jump to no. 2 and was shocked they didn't with a 44-10 smack down against the bummers.

who's your team playing?

AsSiMiLaTeD

Figures, oh well you can put me in the group of people who will not be watching the game.

I'm not an OK State fan, but I think they got the shaft on this o e, but like I said in the other thread we all saw it coming.

Mr. Sharpe

haha yeah I remember what you said about liking the shootouts. but Oklahoma State lost to an unranked team... by 6 points.

Alabama lost to no. 1 undefeated LSU by 3 points. Should the BCS over or voters over look that completely? I don't think they should.

And if they win it still settles nothing. Just because they were the last one to win doesn't mean they are better. The "Series" will in effect be tied at 1-1.

Kind of reminds me of old grade school tacts. Where you keep trying and trying until you win once. Then take the ball home.

In all fairness, OSU should not have lost a game. If they had a perfect record, there would be no need to make a statement. It is not the SEC's fault either, it is how the 'flawless' BCS system works. If the majority of college football dislikes it, I am sure they could get rid of it. Just sucks for LSU, they have to play the 'divisional championship' game twice...

In overtime...and I'm still not sure the "missed" field goal by OSU in regulation was actually wide right against Iowa St.

This. If Bama wins it should be a split championship.

If OSU beats Stanford convincingly, it should be a split championship.

If Alabama scores on the four TD opportunities they had it will settle quite a bit. especially if LSU can't make the end zone and Bama does. Bama's kicker missed one field goal, if I was an LSU fan I would feel extremely fortunate to have won that game. but LSU fans aren't in anyway humble. you should've been in Tiger stadium while Troy was ahead of them 24-3 at half time as opposed to at the end of the game. embarrassing

looks like a good time to schedule that elective surgery

What's embarassing is how much your 'Bama Blinders' are clouding your judgement. And taking pot shots at fans of the oposing school...really?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

LSU fans probably had all kinds of excuses, and ideas about how they were going to do better next time too.

Mr. Sharpe

My judgement? so during Saban's press conference after the LSU game ealrier this year their fans were yelling "f@#k you Sabana f@#k you Saban" in the back ground, I don't think that has anything to do with my judgement. they acted the same way when they had to come from behind to beat Troy. They were sucking up to all the Troy fans while Troy was way ahead then in the end things were back to "normal".
after they slaughtered auburn, "we wante Bama, we want Bama", because they scored 45 points again Auburn they were going to against Bama?

If you have actually been to a game at Tiger stadium you would know a little more. But I hate LSU so obviously I'm going to take "pot shots" at the opossing school... really.

Mr. Sharpe

oh and LSU now has some momentum going into the championship

This kind of matching may be yet one more reason why we should have some "real" playoffs instead of BCS matchings? I found the first game sleep inducing. Not looking forward to a "second" match up. And what if Alabama wins that? Then LSU and 'Bama would have split it 1-1. And that "proves" what?

Nothing like double elimination with only two games played.

Mr. Sharpe

just my opinion but I'm pretty sure the score won't be 9-6 again. If you fell asleep the first time don't watch it, just take a nap lol

@jbooker, if Alabama wins 28-3 it proves LSU got lucky the first time, and they did. Bama missed one field goal in regulation and that would've won the game right there. It wasn't Alabama's Defense taht lost the game, it was the offense and I highly doubt so many mistakes would go so ill practiced a second time. Teams correct and adjust and Bama has ample time to do so.

This is one of my main issues with a re-match. Often the losing team makes the adjustments because...they lost. They need to do something different. The winning team on the other hand usually doesn't make too many changes. They don't need to make as many adjustments because...they won. If they change things up and get beat, the coaches are railed for not having the same game plan that won the first game.

OSU got screwed, no doubt. They had harder strength of schedule and beat more top 25-ranked teams compared to Bama. They should have been given a shot at LSU. I'm not saying OSU is necessarily a better team than Bama, but Bama had a shot against LSU and lost! Putting the rematch in the BCS championship doesn't answer any questions as to who is the best team. Even if Bama wins, they can't convincingly say they are the best team in the nation because they lost to LSU in the regular season.

I probably won't bother to watch the game. I really can't stand how long after New Years they play that game. By the time that game comes around, I'll have lost interest in college football and be more interested in how my teams are doing in the NFL playoffs.

BCS needs to change. Hopefully when it is up for renewal in 2013, they will seriously think about a limited playoff (6 or 8 teams).

Mr. Sharpe

Or Bama may not change their game plan, it may only take playing, catching, running and kicking harder. I mean Cade kicked one of his fg's short. I think the little mistakes is all that has to change. not much big I wouldn't think. LSU might change their plan just to score a TD though.

Oklahoma state lost to an unranked team. the fact that game even went into overtime is ridiculous. especially since Oklahoma beat them by 20 points. Cowboys probably should've had 49 or more while Iowa state settles with about 20 or less. Iowa state only scored 6 against oklahoma which is what I can't figure out. Yet they get 37 against a power house and win? inconsistency playing is the only thing I can figure.

and I know, Alabama gave up 21 to GA southern, ok, how many teams has Alabama played in the past ten years with the triple option? I'm sure if an ACC team had played GA southern they would've easily won bc they play at least one team with it every year. Bama does not. they will play Ga tech in a few years though. I saw this game, Ga southern scored one TD on a fluke 82 yard RUN. they had one good long drive for a TD and the kickoff opening the second half returned for a TD. what people fail to mention is that Bama WON, not GA Southern.

It amazes me how much peoples loyalty or affection or whatever for THEIR school blinds them to reality

Rivrrat

What I haven't heard yet is what if LSU wasn't playing up their potential in the first game? Just because LSU won the first round, it doesn't mean they were playing well either.

jbooker82

Or the fact that if LSU gets beat there fans can make the same claim as Alabama fans are making. Their claims will hold just as much weight.

A win is a win. Alabama isn't a cut above any other one loss team. You can't call do over because of missed field goal or any other error your team made.

If you want to argue with someone go somewhere else. I appreciate it.

Mr. Sharpe

@rivrat, it's possible, but some teams Like Florida and arkansas this year, were playing to their "fullest" until they played Alabama, and they looked horrible after that one, then we all found that Florida is seriously awful. And arkansas sinches out 5 teams and finally play another power house LSU, and fail. a good defense can make a flashy offense look bad, and the best defenses can make the same team look horrible. Can't forget Bama got 3 Td's against mississippi State and LSU got 1. and that was after Bama played LSU and lost a few players in the LSU game.

@J, it's not that they aren't a cut above other one-loss teams, but their defense is. Especially better than Oklahoma states. I know they are +19 in turnovers or something like that, they give up a lot of points. in 1992 Alabama's defense won several games by itself.

DMara

Just let him talk trash for a few more weeks, there's no logic in his statements, just excuses after excuses for his team. His team lost at home, and they are going to lose again. Guess what, there will be more excuses flying left and right afterwards :biggrin:

By the way you don't own this forum, so who the hell are you to tell others to go somewhere else?

You win some, you lose some

Come on boys its just a game

Here is hoping for more than 9 points in the National Title game! Maybe even a touchdown? That would be nice.

Who the hell are you to tell me why I can and can't say. You make your point and I make mine, simple as that. Take a look around, nobody is with you on this. Nobody wants to see Alabama in that title game except Alabama,

wayne3burk

the cowpokes poked themselves by losing to iowa state. easy answer is that the pokes shoulda gone undefeated and we'd be able to see who the real national champions are. personally i'm not much interested in an all SEC rematch (wasn't really interested in the first game for that matter).

I'm sorry but actually there are people that would rather see a re match other than me. what you're saying is that I'm the only person in this country that doesn't want one? enjoy your nap on the 9th. I'm sure coming home and just going to sleep would be better for you than watching a game you wouldn't like.

chad I'm hoping for more than 9 points too:P

@wayne, the first person other than me to point out the Oklahoma state lost to Unranked team.
