This ridiculous system has forced us to try and analyze losses. Is there a comparison between Oklahoma State's lone loss and Alabama's? Not really, Alabama's 3 pt loss to LSU stacks up much better than OSU's loss to Iowa State.

However, there were extenuating circumstances in place for OSU and their body of work in 2011 altogether was damn good. Alabama had an excellent season and struggled with no one on their schedule when victorious.

There have been many years where the results and the subsequent BCS decision made it abundantly clear that a new system is needed. This year is another example as both OSU and Alabama deserve a shot to play for a championship.
