Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It's like offenses are never allowed to be good or gawd forbid - great even. Nope, even if you're playing a Heisman QB behind one of the best OLs in CFB you absolutely better not let them score over 20 or so help me gawd your game will be instantly demoted to the "not football" judgement bin!

Nice to hear from OAM disease's patient zero.

The hell?  If a team has a good offense or plays well on offense, cool.  A good defense will negate it, and offensive team will score an average number of points.  A great offense is going to score more than average, but if it hits it's season average or more, then NO, the defense they faced didn't do a good job.
How is that hard to swallow?  How am I being absurd here??  Go ask UGA's DC if he felt successful tonight.  Ask their MLB.  They know they didn't do a good job.
You're defending the allowance of 48 points being a worthy effort and I'm patient zero?  EFF you.

OU averaged 45 points per game this season.  UGA is either the best or one of the best few teams OU has faced this year.  So no, they should not be allowing OU to score over its season average.  No, UGA's defense didn't do a good job.  

OU averaged 45 ppg while playing teams like Kansas, Tulane, and UTEP.  OSU held them to 31.  That was a good effort, good outcome.  Texas held them to 29 points - something to be proud of.

48 points?  In the biggest game of the season?  Garbage.

Another side effect of OAM disease - crankiness/irritability.
You know not every clash of great offense vs great defense will or should result in an average score. I know this may sound crazy but sometimes a great offense will get the better of a great defense, maybe even make a great defense look downright foolish. And sometimes a great defense will shut down a great offense. Neither outcome is more “real” football than the other. That’s why they play the game, they say.

I know all of that....why are you posting?  I can share my opinion without being......I don't even know what you're doing.  All I said was that both defenses stunk.  I don't enjoy that type of football.  OH NO!  OAM opined!!!  Blast him!!!

I know an all-SEC NCG is everyone's nightmare, but can everyone avoid losing their minds?  A minimum of pouting would be nice, too.  At least Bama and UGA haven't played this year, which is nice.  

I wouldn't say I'm losing my mind

Hell, I'll give credit where credit is due ... both teams took care of business and definitely deserve to be there

That said, for me personally, it's just more interesting when representatives from different conferences participate in any postseason contest

I do agree the fact Georgia and Alabama didn't play this season does add to the appeal

But to my original point, I'd still prefer a matchup where conference bragging rights are on the line

- this goes for the Big Ten, too

- I'll be the first to tell u I would've HATED a title game that was an Ohio State-Michigan rematch (I forget which year that was) as much as I despised the LSU-Alabama rematch (I think those were the teams and again, I forget which year) ... u had your chance to beat that opponent but if u couldn't, u shouldn't be rewarded for incompetence and someone else should get a shot    

The BCS would have given us Clemson vs. Oklahoma.

I wonder how many points go up in that one. I'd take OU in that game.

I read (on CBSec) that Bama validated itself as selection #4 by beating Clemson. What a crock of shit.

Helps if you leave out the other conferences.  This was settled on the field.  The B1G was the best, and Central Florida went undefeated and beat the team that beat both of these teams.  The "championship" game is just another exhibition.

My sentiment is similar.

SEC teams get mulligans. The rest do not.

I am totally a fan of diversity, over conference superiority.
All the teams campaigning for the beauty pageant 4th spot had flaws.

OSU - Iowa wtf? (and didn't have a marquee OOC win to bolster their resume.)
Wisconsin - Lost in final game, helmet not big enough.
UCF - really weak schedule, their 2nd P5 game was hurricane canceled.
USC - on the west coast who watches that? Games not on ESPN.
'bama - lost final game, below average schedule. But, I mean a 4 loss Auburn is head and shoulders above a 5 loss Iowa. Didn't have marquee OOC win to bolster schedule. Mercer. Only 8 conference games.


If no one on paper is clearly better, then I think conference champ / teams from different conference should get the nod over the 2nd (3rd place) team from one conference.

However, all that said; a healed up 'bama is prolly the most talented team this year, and I expect them to maul Georgia next week. But, I prolly find reruns of That's 70ies show or something else equally exciting to watch next Monday.
