Colt McCoy is Alabama's MVP...LOL

I guess I would go with Ingram. Winning team.

I am thinking maybe Arenas with his two picks

I swear, in that first half, Garrett Gilbert looked he was gonna shit his pants, that's how scared he was. 

He grew up some in the second half and almost pulled it out.  He got a fine education tonight in football on the big stage.

Having Shipley helped a lot

I still say Alabama played down to Texas. Mentally they knew they had this as soon as Colt went down. While it would have been funny if Alabama lost to them with a back-up ... that wouldn't happen in 99 of 100 games.

Agreed. Bama's play calling was extremely conservative. I don't think that was there original game plan.

It pains me to see Nick $atan succeed. I wish Colt would have stayed healthy!!!!!

[Dave Gray]

You can't say what would've happen if Colt played.  It would've been a different game.  Alabama played only as aggressive as they had to.

I'd love to see the Dolphins get him.  He's a local product.

I feel bad for McCoy, but I feel great for the SEC. That's four in a row!!

Too bad the powers that be kept them away from TCU or BSU.

While I do think that TCU or BSU deserves a shot to play in a playoff system, I think that they'd likely get not only beaten, but severely destroyed by Alabama, Florida, Texas, etc.

TCU beat six ranked teams that won their bowls. BSU has a history of spanking highly touted BCS schools in bowls.
Cincy did not belong in their bowl, but it is foolish to think that either of these two non BCS schools could not keep up and even beat the "big boys".
Did you read the assinine comments by the BCS as to why playoffs are bad. It will lead to more injuries.

I read in my SI Magazine that the BCS thinks a playoff is bad because it will de-value the bowls.

Plenty of crappy chump teams are in and win bowls.  When you have 40 bowls, you have 80 teams playing in them.

I'm sure TCU is a decent team, but they just can't hang with an elite conference like the SEC.  ...but again, that's why you need a playoff.

Last year Bama played a dam good game against Florida in the SEC championship and then got spanked by a non BCS school in its bowl game. The SEC has good teams, but when they and the rest of the BCS schools dodge regular season games against very good non BCS teams and play such powerhouses as Troy, Louisanna Tech, etc, and then are saved from having to face these undefeated teams in bowls by the BCS selection committee, then they do not have a legitimate claim that they are the best conference in the country.
