Alabama played Georgia Southern purely for the purpose of scheming their triple option. Thus why they were so effective against LSU's this time.

Except LSU doesn't run the triple option. I highly doubt they scheduled Ga. So. so they could prepare for the triple option. They schedule these games seasons in advance and I don't think Ga. So. have always run the triple option and it wasn't until recently they installed it, if I am not mistaken.

In a field of 120 teams and only 12 regular season games, I think it does a better job than what we have now.

EDIT: And now for a counter question, do you think a bowl game determines the best team?

I never said it did. Nor do I think a tournament determines the best team. Like a bowl game, it just determines the best team in a period of time.

But with a NCG, you determine the best 2 teams from the season then place them in a tittle game.

My issue isn't with LSU it's with Alabama. They pretty much were given a "bye" by not having to play in a championship game. Sorry but the BCS screwed the pooch and will probably begin the process of revamping everything today because they realize this game was a joke.

OSU never played in a championship game either, played the same amount of games as Bama.

The game is getting a lot of love for the BCS from analysts. The common theme seems to be this:

The game may not have been sexy-but if one thing was clear-the two best teams played.

That's what matters. The BCS got it right.

It doesn't matter if you didn't enjoy the game. The game was about finding out who the best teams in college football were. They were on the field last night.

:lol: you can state that the two best teams played last night like it's some fact as many times as you want, but there's absolutely no way of actually knowing that...to state that proves that there is infact SEC bias.....

I think my major problem with the whole system, besides voting who should be in the final game, is the 44 days in between the final game and the National Championship game.

It's been noted that teams have lost an edge during the time, or players have over-trained and become exhausted, etc. It becomes more about micromanaging than playing the game.

If you think making baseless claims with no evidence to support them is oblitering my posts then by all means go ahead....I really don't feel like getting into a pissing match with someone who doesn't want to accept reason. Nowhere did I say that LSU and Bama weren't great teams, all I said was there's no way to know who would win if OSU got a chance....

It isn't me saying it, and you know it as well as I do. Last night's game proved it to anyone and everyone credible, after being voted to be the game by anyone who matters. The only argument you have is your ridiculous tinfoil hat theories which I'm sure you'll whip out, because if there is one thing you've proven on your time on this board, it's that you can't confront truth which you don't like.

The talent gap between Alabama and anyone else is absurd, and it was proven on the field last night. Once again, you are going to fall back on the +1 argument, which no one has at any point in time disputed that there should be. As it has been said, the only thing the voters can do right now if pick the two best teams. Last night's game was proof that they got it right. If Skip Bayless can admit he was wrong, surely you can.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
