So Alabama lost in overtime to the number one team in the country.

Overtime? OVERTIME?? Everyone whines about the BCS set up being a joke, but the rules of CFB overtime makes the BCS decisions seem brilliant by comparison!

As far as I'm concerned, the first LSU-Alabama matchup was a 6-6 tie. The ADHD public DEMANDS a winner and a loser, so there is an after-the-fact contrivance called overtime to keep the masses happy.

This, of course, is some delicious irony, given the fact that, in kiddy sports, they don't even keep score. EVERYONE is a winner. Can't hurt little Johnny or little Janie's self-esteem, after all.

I agree, I’d rather go back to ties.
