I understand you hate Bama. I hate Michigan. And we whipped y'alls ass in September. See you next time.

Carry on.

Ok?

I gave a very clear reason why I had the opinion I did. I also explained why I can't stand Alabama, but you're right, apparently there's no point in this conversation continuing... I guess.

There rarely is a point to arguing along these lines, if Michigan was going to their 3rd BCS championship in 4 years everyone that isn't a Michigan fan would be complaining about how they don't deserve it.

Because obviously they know more than everyone who calculates the BCS standings, or it's rigged in Michigan's favor, or they only played crappy teams (Because strength of schedule isn't taken into account at all in the BCS...) or some other such nonsense that people spew when things aren't going the way they think they should go.

The BCS isn't perfect by any means, but the only real travesty I've seen out of it was the year Auburn went undefeated. Otherwise it does it's job well enough, experts and a computer pick the best teams, which is no small feat when there are so many teams and very few of the top teams play each other. A playoff system will help a little, but the whiners are going to find something to whine about, inevitably. In a couple years it will be "#2 and #4 don't deserve to be in the playoffs they only played lousy teams, #5 or #6 are much better because I personally dislike the teams that got picked."

You are right there is no point in continuing because your point or opinion holds no water. You can say every every team in your top 5 had a shitty schedule.
1. Florida- Besides LSU,SC, Georgia(lost), A&M(won before they put it together) FSU (never lives up to the hype) the schedule was not very hard and almost lost to FCS UL_Lafayette, squeaked by Missou. If you can't even make it to the SEC Championship you don't deserve the NC.
2. Oregon- You said it yourself they played a terrible schedule and lost to Stanford(ND beat them not mentioned in your 2 team analysis).
3. K State- Terrible schedule beat Oklahoma(So did ND convincingly you failed to mention BTW) and lost to an RGlll-less Baylor very handily.

So, the 2 best teams are rightly so in the NC game. May the best team win!

And to the Alabama fan putting up this argument also: Yes Notre Dame is back!....

Some might say the best 2 eligible teams are in the NC game.
