Nope but a different scenario with a playoff system in place and they have beaten all of the other qualified teams to get there. With the current system in place for college football and no playoffs Alabama had their shot, now it is OSU's shot. If Bama and LSU had not played yet I would be torn on who should play. Just my opinion.....

Looks like Chris Petersen is frustrated as well.

I would agree with you if not for this. You can't drop a game to a .500 unranked team and expect to play for the title!!

True - that was a bad loss but you could easily argue that game should have been postponed and not played that soon after the school's tragedy. They played like they were distracted.

If I was Iowa, I would have been happy to play the game at a later date. Very tragic indeed.

I know they were slightly better than .500, but in 2007 LSU lost to a Kentucky team that had a 3-5 conference record and still got into the BCS Championship. After looking a little closer, Alabama, #1 defense, didn't play a team that was in the top 10 offense catagory. LSU did, Oregon, and showed that they can stop a great offense.

You do realize the #1 ranking in offense was Houston, right? The team that never played a ranked team and got nuked by the first ranked team they faced, #24 So Miss.

C'mon now. Human polls and facts have nothing to do with what happens between the white stripes.


That there is a FACT.
