Congrats to Desperado on winning the 2011/2012 NeoGaf Bowl Pick Em!
Associated Press said:NEW ORLEANS, La. -- The defenses lived up to the billing in the latest Game of the Century. For most of the game neither No. 1 LSU nor No. 2 Alabama could reach the end zone.
The Crimson aren't complaining.
They now have won 2 of the last 3 BCS title games.
"It didn't go by the script," LSU coach Les Miles said. "The key is to keep fighting, to find a way."
Find a way, these Tigers did not.
Of course, for the thousands who tuned in across the nation to watch a game billed as "The de Facto National Championship" the end result was, anything but appealing.
"Okie state should played in this game. Teams that provide actual entertainment should be rewarded. I would drop LSU and Alabama out of the top ten on principle. Get that garbage football off my TV," said one fan after the game.
"I can't say I know too much about teams outside our conference right now, but I know that team over there is a damn fine one," responded LSU coach Les Miles.
The latest AP poll seem to agree with coach Miles as the Crimson Tide of Alabama received 55 of the 60 first place votes in the final poll, something that once again doesn't seem to please the masses: "I find it a [expletive] joke to society that [Ala]bama got to play in this game," one college football fan was quoted as saying Monday evening.
Coach Nick Saban of Alabama was not quite ready to agree, "When you get blown out, you've got lots of issues and problems," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "I don't think anybody could watch that game and say LSU doesn't have a really good team and didn't play a really good game. They just didn't win."
"Whoever the folks are who make those decisions will make those decisions based on the full body of work of every team in the country and choose which teams are the best," Saban said. "I really can't speculate on a hypothetical situation and it's really not our focus right now, anyway."
