Tale of the tape Alabama vs Oklahoma State

Conference Champion No - Yes

Wins vs Ranked Opponents 4 - 4

Wins vs Top 10 0 - 2

Both have a loss, both in OT, one at home, one on the road. One lost to a great team, the other to a mediocre team. I will not go into the circumstances prior to the OSU loss. Though I do believe it had baring.


In the current BCS top 25 - OSU has beat Missouri(25), Texas(22), Baylor(17), Kansas State(11) and Oklahoma(10).

In the current BCS top 25 - Alabama has beat Arkansas(8) and Penn State(21)


Alabama had a shot, at home, to beat the opponent we are discussing and lost. The game was fair, they just didn't get the job done. Give someone else a shot.

Again, no dog in this hunt, just putting out what I believe to be "fair." All this talk about the best 2 teams in the country is crap. That is assumption, games are not won and lost, by who people think are the best, they are won and lost on the field. Alabama had their shot at this LSU team(who I personally don't think can be beat by anyone we are talking about), so give the team that earned their shot a try.


IMO, best game would be USC vs LSU.....
