Alabama lost to the #1 team in the country. Nobody is disputing that LSU is the best team in the country right now. Just because Alabama lost to the best, doesn't necessarily mean that Alabama can't be the second best team. I don't know how that could be any clearer. The system puts the best team against the second best team.
Your logic makes no sense.
Well then, it's decided. They're the second best team. Game over. We know unequivocally who the best team is, and we know unequivocally who the 2nd best team is. No need to play it on the field. That's exactly what you're saying. The purpose is not to crown a champion, it's to let the #1 best team and #2 2nd best team play each other just to confirm what everyone knew to begin with, that team A is #1 and team B is #2. Even if they already proved it once so we can really really know it.
No chance that it's OSU who lost
gasp also due to field goals in
gasssssp DOUBLE overtime! Why are they even playing football? Everyone knows who #1 & #2 are and it's not them.
The criteria I'm using to disqualify OSU, Stanford, etc, is the BCS selection process. You know, that thing that is used to decide who plays in the championship game. Crazy concept, I know, but it's all I have to go on. Like I said before, if that process comes out next week with OSU as the second team in the NCG and Alabama gets left out, well then tought luck. That's all we have to go by, so whatever.
Your argument is that they are beyond a doubt the two BEST teams. In fact, it's 100% scientific fact that LSU is #1, and Bama is #2. Bama could only possibly have lost to LSU. And LSU cannot possibly lose to anyone, including Bama.
No shit the BCS has to take #1 and #2. The whole debate is over who should be #2? Should it be a team that already played #1 and lost? Or should it be a team that hasn't been afforded that opportunity yet? It seriously blows my mind that this is such a difficult concept for anyone to grasp.
The only reason point #3 was brought up was for those thinking a playoff would solve rematch issues.
No. No, they didn't. Again, you failed to grasp the point. It's already been explained to you. The problem with the rematch is not that we have to see the same game twice. It's that another team who
didn't get to prove they could beat the #1 team doesn't get a chance. In a 4 team playoff, at least it's slightly more fair in that those other two teams at least have a
chance to prove they're the best team in the country. Six team playoff even more fair. The more teams, the fairer the system.
