What a joke. You don't win your DIVISION. You don't win your CONFERENCE. You aren't good enough to play in the SEC championship game, but you're Alabama, so you DO play in the blatantly misnamed "NATIONAL Championship Game." Wow. They haven't yet invented the words to explain this idiotic result.
You already lost, AT HOME, 9-6 in OT, to the same team you'll be playing.
You have fewer wins over quality opponents than Oklahoma State.
But YOU are Alabama.
What's the "formula" that says Alabama gets to play and Oklahoma State doesn't? We don't know. The information that is fed into the computers that determined Alabama is .009 better than Okie State has never been divulged. How can ESPN and the NCAA and the BS, er BCS, get away with it?
T. Boone Pickens said he'd launch an investigation if this happened. Go get 'em, I say. And here's an idea for ya, T. Boone. Beat Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl -- give em a good whuppin -- then lay out the money to finance a challenge game in mid-January: Okie State vs. the LSU-Alabama winner.
Sue the NCAA and the BCS and ESPN for collusion and everything else your best legal team can come up with. And maybe you can get some of those Occupy Wall Street types to occupy the Superdome and disrupt this SEC incest.
This stupidity has to end, and who better to end it than T. Boone?
