Lets look at Bama's best wins

PSU (mediocre Big 10 team)

Arkansas - Pretty good victory, I'll give them that... Arkansas helped to solidify this by beating KSU.

Auburn - a 5 loss team, not really that impressive.

Florida - a mediocre team at best (6 L's on the year).

It's not like Alabama had some amazing resume. At least Oklahoma State got to and won their conference championship game. I'm still of the opinion in the current system that if you don't win your conference championship, you can't play for (and have a chance for a national championship). The conference season is like pool play... if you aren't the best in your pool, you shouldn't "advance" to the title game.

If there were a playoff however, it would be more reasonable to miss out on conference, but make the tournament for a chance at the national title.

I give Alabama credit, they deserve the national championship, but it was a #&%^$ game.

Les Miles usually costs his team at least one game a year
LSU should of used Lee alot since Bama prepared for the run and the option. When Bama played LSU the first time they prepared for Lee, and when JJ came in they got 8 yards a play on the option. But, with 44 days to prepare, they might of prepared for the whole scenario. Who knows. Saban can coach.
The LSU defense didnt play bad, its just they were on the field the whole game. Cant blame them for giving up 21 points when they played that much and got tired. Its all on Miles and the offense.
