I know!! Nebraska (2001) and Oklahoma (2003) should be ashamed!!! Not to mention Florida State (2000) who was chosen to play in the BSC game even though they lost to Miami who had the same record.
Sarcasm aside, why shouldn't Bama get to play in this game. No other team that was in the running took care of their own business. Bama lost to the #1 ranked team in overtime by a field goal. Oregona lost to the same team 40-27 with Oregon scoring late in a touchdown that only their momma's loved. Iowa State...need I say more? If Bama's one loss was Vandy (similar record as Iowa State) bama would not have even been considered. LSU still has not scored a touchdown on Bama. Oregon can't claim that. Bama had the yards. Only difference was Bama's FG kickers suck. LSU is better in their special teams. But Bama has the defense that can choke the life out of a team. If Bama gets a lead, Richardson, Lacey and Fowler will settle in behind that Oline and run it down their throats and over them all night long.
Roll Tide, gentlemen nad ladies. I will see you after the game!!
