I know little or nothing about who I would pit against bama and LSU in separate

to know who they would play if this were being done right. I need outside
perspectives to TELL me what they think would be proper.

Let's all play a game. BCS has set this up to be a tourney. Fill in
these brackets:

LSU versus

Bama versus

See, I wouldn't have Bama in a 4 team tourney, unless you had all the conference champions in already...then you could talk about teams like Stanford, Alabama, Virginia Tech, at large teams that couldn't win their own conference.

LSU vs Okie Lite and then everything else. Two best conferences this year, two conference champions. It is not like OSU is the winner of the Big East or has 2 losses. They are not exactly backdooring their way into this game...

Neither would I, top 2 anyway, in fact I think it is an insult to LSU to throw bama in there as if they
deserved it. I think that they are a giant among teams, but it's like you said elsewhere, this was not
a foregone conclusion when the pre-season polls came out or anything, everyone had their chances
to take care of business. That's why I was thinking Houston deserved a shot like anyone else until the
past weekend. I understand why the pollsters did what they did, but that's not saying it was fair.
And I don't mean fair from the LSU perspective, hell no, bring em on, we can beat em twice. But
it's the obverse...say they win, after doing nothing but doing their nails for 6 weeks. That would be
a travesty. But a NC all the same.
