What did you guys think?
In this video, I review the 2011 season. 4 teams had an argument to compete for the national championship, but because this was the BCS only two got in.

If you think a low scoring game between two elite defenses is boring I’m afraid you are a casual. Good defensive play is fun to watch, bad offensive play is not
I feel like this depends on the game itself, not saying this applies necessarily to the 2011 BCS championship, but Super Bowl 53 between the Rams and Pats is a great example of a low scoring game that was overall very boring. Thinking that good offense and a lot of scoring is more entertaining than low scoring defensive battles is mostly preference and doesn’t doesn’t make you a casual, I think the era in which most people started watching football plays a large role in determining what preference they have for this.
@jacksondavis9717 Its prefrence but its a casual prefrence
For example
Sb 58 was filled with great defensive play
Calling it boring was calling the game of football boring
Thats good defense
Hating your average B1G game however
Is fine
Because I prefer to not watch 2 terrible offenses go h2h
To me any game where you know either both teams won’t really score or both teams won’t be able to stop each other is what i would consider boring. Predictability is what makes something boring. Games that end up in the mid 20s to low 30s is my preference
Seriously, the 9-6 LSU Bama game was called the game of the century when it happened bc it was so good
This was posted by an ok state fan who was butt hurt. Roll Tide
3 minutes into the video and you've already showed the same 9 play LSU highlight loop 13 times. please mix up the footage next time

Its crazy that at one point the top 3 ranked teams were LSU, Bama and Arkansas. The SEC west was no doubt the best division of college football the late 2000's early 2010's
As an alabama fan, this was the most iconic year. An offensive struggle in the first lsu game and then not letting them past the 50 until the second half was just so dominant. One I’ll always remember
What legit sport has a two game series. Look it up. In almost every 2 game series the winner of the 1st loses the 2nd. Makes total sense, the winner thinks that won the 1st, they'll win the 2nd.
How many coaches would love to get Saban's entitlement and a rematch.
@@mas5867 literally what does that change about my statement. U just sound salty about a championship from 13 years ago
@@sycros7473 why reference a game that has NO integrity.
24 NCs since 2000. Of those 24 NC coaches, 3 have won a NC when
1) they did not win their conference, OR 2) their opponent did not win their conf.
Saban owns 4 of those. Why was he afforded as easier path? Bec any 4th grader would know OK ST or Stanford would have brought in 1/2 the TV revenue.
@@mas5867 of course i wouldve liked to see them play it out. Thats just the bcs era tho lotta teams left out. But that game was a defining moment of alabamas dynasty. N honestly who gives a shit about tv revenue cus i dont get anything out of it. And i know you dont get anything out of it. If it was all about tv revenue itd be ohio state Michigan every year.
@@sycros7473 What the F.
Saban got to lose, bypass the SECC and still got a shot at the NC. How the F is that fair to the other 17 coaches during the last 24 yrs. The SECC is an invitation game. It is obviously not required.
Suppose Meyer said I want to skip the 2009 SECC since Saban will get to avoid the SECC 4 times. Right. Then FL plays TX for the NC.
LOL AL dynasty? All of Saba's NCs have a major caveat. Remember we have already negated 4.
*"N honestly who gives a shit about tv revenue cus i dont get anything out of it. "*
God man, connect the F dots. If not for TV revenue, AL does not play for 4/7 NCs bec they DIDN"T win their conf or play a team that won their conference.
The first LSU Alabama game that year was amazing defense vs amazing defense, I found it more exhilarating than the championship game, honestly the championship felt one sided as could be. I love watching defensive all out brawls and that is what the first matchup was the second matchup just felt like from the get go Bama was winning.
I was at the first LSU Bama game. I felt bad when I left, but I was thinking to myself that we would beat them next year. I had no idea there would be a rematch and that we would pound LSU 21-0 early the next year. Bring back BCS!
@@johnmartinez2475 as a South Carolina I do not miss the BCS, now don't get me wrong I think the 14 team playoff thing is way too much, I think an 8 team playoff would be good enough, but as a South Carolina fan during the BCS if the playoffs have been implemented say in 2007 there are probably a couple of years where we would have made it and had a chance to win it all something that we are currently just waiting for, and I firmly believe the one year had we been in the top five and Ohio State been in the top five as well with both teams only have one loss by three and there being only one undefeated team even if we had only a loss versus another top five team and Ohio state's had been against the top 25 team I feel that the BCS would have favored Ohio St over us. But I don't think they're ever going to bring back the BCS though I loved the BCS chaos in 2007.
@@johnmartinez2475everyone knew Alabama was the better team 😂 that’s why they made the title game over OSU Alabama missed 4 or more field goals and dropped a TD pass in the first game or the score would’ve been 25-6 Alabama 😂
The 9-6 game was a classic. Both teams averaged about 38 points per game. But their defenses were loaded with NFL talent. It was like waiting to see who blinked first.
A large reason why the cowboys lost to ISU is cause their women’s basketball coach died in a plane crash the previous day, that devastated Stillwater
Oh please. Pink your favorite color?
@@mas5867 huh?
@@mas5867 that’s like saying it’s ridiculous to be sad when a family member dies
Boise State was also 12-1 with a conference championship and a win over Georgia! Their only L was a 1 point loss to TCU
As a sec fan myself that was a great year.
For all you young whippersnappers out there let me tell you something, the BCS was heaven sent.
In fact it was when they brought in the computers that we had definitive proof that the SEC was so superior to the other conferences.
There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t miss the BCS 😢
BS! Roy Kramer, the BCS godfather said that had it not been for 2012 NC pairing, the BCS may have still been around. Nobody believed that AL should have gotten a second chance REGARDLESS of the results. Why play the 1st then? Totally unfair to all the other coaches that never got a 2nd chance.
LOL. Saban won 6 SECCS during the CFP (silly covid not included) and only won 1 NC. The big bad SEC winner could only win 1 NC when an actual playoff existed. Say it isn't so.
Most painful year ever for an lsu fan😔. Best team ever to not win a championship
I can see arguments for why Bama deserved the second title game slot,but fact is,OK state had a better resume of wins,a confrence championship.And I still believe to this day that OK state couldve beaten LSU and Alabama if they played each other.
This was real football. The new way of doing things is just worse.
Another thing about the OSU loss to ISU is that a few days before the game, a plane crash killed the women’s basketball coach.
Logic: no defense = entertaining, good defense = boring
I’d love to see this video for the year before the playoffs in 2013
this guy is the most underrated youtuber
Thanks👊
As a non-SEC or Big 12 fan what annoys me is people really don’t analyze the 2011 selection from LSU’s perspective. Yes, Ok St had a worse loss but this season effectively penalized LSU for beating Bama because they had to play an extra game against a tough Georgia team just to play Bama again- who was sitting at home while LSU risked injuries or y’know LOSING.
Question- would LSU still have made the championship if they had lost to Georgia? Because if not, then that’s proof beating Bama in the regular season literally worked against them
2008 is a crazy year as well, had like 8 one loss teams that had an argument for the national championship game
Florida- 12-1
Alabama 12-1
Oklahoma 12-1
Texas 11-1
Texas Tech 11-1
USC 11-1
Penn State 11-1
Utah 12-0
Should do a video for that season? Itll be kinda hard to get clips for it, but that season def deserves some recognition as well.
@@membroedits Maybe, I feel like despite there being so many teams, the selection wasn't that controversial. you could do a video on the worst BCS snub of all time. USC in 2003
@@AIRWAY26 2010 TCU's snub gives USC a run for its money..... what happened in 2010 was a war crime - it was undeniably apparent the sport was rigged.
2008 had severe problems with snubbing the only undefeated teams, OU being selected over UT and PAC getting snubbed.
@@MattBuild4 there were two undefeated power 5 teams. auburn and oregon. nothing could have been done for Tcu at that point.
@@AIRWAY26 BULLSH!T....... This isnt 2020 UC or 2018 UCF G5. Oregon should know - they got annihilated by Boise State the two previous seasons. The "elite" P5 champions were 1-5 vs the G5 from 2004-2009. I mean ffs in THIS SEASON the B10 and ACC Champs, and B12 runner Up all got dropped by the G5. You cannot be telling me that it is justified, when a team has 12 future NFL draft picks including NFL ALL PRO players on their team with hall of fame coaches.
You wanna give me this bs about G5 - well then why dont teams get rewarded for ranked games when other teams play FCS teams? Cuz week 8, TCU beat #6 Utah on the road 47-7..... that same week Auburn played FCS Chatanooga and Oregon played (3-5) Washington - yet TCU got ZERO credit for this win.
That is some WAR CRIME LEVEL HORSESH!T.....
BSU went undefeated in 2008 and 2009; and TCU went undefeated in 2009. Both of these teams outranked Oregon and Auburn to start the season, yet were magically jumped before either team lost. I want an explanation what f*cking drugs you gotta be on to jump a team on a 30 GAME WIN STREAK especially when 2 of those 30 games were loses by the very team that is jumping the other team. Imagine dropping in the rankings because you beat a team 59-0..... #100% WAR CRIME BS
For me it was more of the fact that Alabama had a chance to beat LSU in the regular season and they didn't; so, why should they get another shot? Oklahoma State won their conference championship and earned a shot against LSU, Stanford didn't their conference championship, and Alabama didn't even win their division. So, I thought Oklahoma state was going to get the next crack at LSU and they would have beaten them. But, I guess the cookie didn't crumble that way.
Good point about LSU already beating Bama. Overall there should have been a playoff though because all four teams deserved a shot.
Anyone can win a one off game so not saying Oklahoma State couldn’t but they probably would not have won.
LSU’s defense was #2 and their offense was #17 nationally.
OSU’s defense was #61 and their offense was #2.
They did play a ton of great offenses; however the best defense they played before Stanford (#30) was OU (#32).
LSU played multiple top 25 defenses and offenses and was great on both sides of the ball with one of the best special teams units in LSU history.
@@INoticeTooMuch1 But then again neither LSU nor Alabama played a top 10 offense the entire season, so how good were their defenses really? The highest ranked offense in the entire SEC was Arkansas at #15.
Had Oklahoma State been a bigger brand name than they are, or if another big brand name in College Football had been in OK-State's position in 2011 (say, Oklahoma), Alabama would not have played in that 2011 BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans vs LSU.
We shouldn’t have to be as big as an sec team we deserved it more than Lsu. As for 2024 the cowboys have a chance for the first time since 2011
Sorry meant Alabama
True, but then again the same could be said for Boise State as well. they got completely discarded for the making the mistake of losing by 1 point at home for the first time in 9 YEARS....
We have the LSU/Alabama rematch to thank for giving us a playoff. Back then it was blasphemy to have a team that didn't even win its division, let alone its conference, to play for a national championship. Out of all of outrage the BCS caused college football over the years and the constant calls for a playoff, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. They agreed upon a playoff in 2012 and it was installed in 2014.
How did this game give us the playoff? After controversial seasons in 1999, and 2001 the league rules were changed the NEXT season. So if they did it in the past why did they wait 3 years if 2011 was so controversial?
Also if this was true, then the executive command of the NCAA and the BCS lied under oath to the US Senate. Cuz what is a blacklisted topic is that the BCS and NCAA were facing vicious lawsuits from the G5 from 2009-2012. 12 universities sued the league, 4 state governments sued the league and the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT held criminal trials on the league for anti-trust, fraud and corruption.
SEC ESPN and the merry followers love to claim this season inspired the playoffs, but historically this doesnt make any sense. You know what moves bureaucracy the most? How about $2 billion federal lawsuit for NOT having a playoff. Executives testified there were never any plans for a playoff in 2012 to the US Senate. 3 weeks after this US DOJ recommendations the CFP was announced.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE.....
I challenge your "Division and/or Conference Champion" notion with these words: Notre Dame..., or Penn State..., or Miami....😉
take a shot every time you play the LSU highlight reel
If this season happened in the 4 team playoff era, it wouldn’t of even been a debate that Oklahoma state would be ranked ahead of Alabama. They had more ranked wins and were conference champions. It would have beeen 1) LSU 2) OK State 3) Bama 4) Stanford
Yeah OK State was a conference champ with LSU
That would have been a great playoff. Andrew Luck and his Peyton-esque brilliance vs that speedy secondary that LSU had. And on the other side, Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon, and that high flying OK State offense versus that suffocating Alabama defense.
IMO, I think LSU and Alabama would've got the dubs and we'd still have the rematch.
I think the bcs should be included in the selection process for the playoffs thats the system we need
All the power conferences should have done like the BIG 12 has been doing the last few years and thats putting the 2 best teams in the conference championship regardless of division. You put Alabama vs LSU rematch in SEC championship and that opens up another team going to the national championship
YES! Conferences STILL refuse to do what the Big 12 does
Les Miles in the LSU vs Bama 2011 regular season game he out coached Nick Saban make no mistake. That was his game plan and it worked Jordan Jefferson with the short side option worked. Wasn't huge stats but there were few bad plays. The 2011 sugar bowl cracked his Mojo tho. Never out coached Saban again.
arkansas would have worked osu or stanford, they were clearly the 3rd best team in the country, sad that you didn’t talk about how good that team was
arkansas also played bama and lsu on the road
You should do a "what if the college football playoff was implemented early?" video, starting in 1998.
Good idea!
@@membroedits If you do, could you not just use the BCS rankings? It would be far more interesting to imagine how a committee would've picked.
@@tearingmeapartlisa1080 The committee has been an inconsistent joke tho.....
@@MattBuild4 Yeah. Most years of the BCS era, you would've had three obvious teams and one pretty impossible (2023 level difficulty) pick for fourth.
@@tearingmeapartlisa1080 Most years? I dont think we watched the same sport......
2004 and 2009 literally had 5+ undefeated teams.......
2007 7 of the top 8 teams had the same record.
2001 - The #4 ranked team SLAUGHTERED the #2 ranked team during the season.
2003 - the literal #1 team in the country didnt even play in the national championship game.
2008 - the only two undefeated teams - neither made the championship, two different conferences had 3 way ties for first in their conference.
2000 - the #2 literally lost to the #3 team and the #3 team literally lost to the #4 team.
Really outside of 1999, 2005, and sorta 2012 all other seasons youd have a legit playoff.
Bro cooked with this one
🫡
BCS was better than what they had before. Ie just a lot of voting. 1 vs 2 VERY rarely happened before in bowl games.
There's no way Stanford should've been picked over Oregon given that Oregon played LSU (and, of course, walloped Stanford).
(Of course, the following year would've given the same problem just in the opposite direction.)
I learned that the BCS was garbage in 2014. The #1 team Alabama and #2 team FSU would have been selected for the BCS NCG. But both got knocked out in the first round by Oregon and Ohio State.
Yep. I actually went over that in my 2014 video👍
It would not have been a good year for a playoff. Bama and LSU would’ve waffle stomped Stanford and Okie State. The BCS just decided to skip the slaughter and put the 2 best teams in the natty.
This is the problem with college football fans, they think they can just declare 100% certainties out of hypothetical situations. God forbid we let the teams play it out on the field like every other sport.
Then put them against Boise State. You dont want a blowout - play the team with the lowest margin of loss of all time.
@@MattBuild4 Just saw this comment, apologize for the late timing... So your argument is because you beat woefully bad teams year-in and year-out, you are a great team? C'mon man...!
How about this perspective: How many great wins does Bama have over Vandy? I would argue none, because Bama is expected to win all of those matchups, for multiple reasons. It's only a great win if Vandy wins, because they are expected to lose...Bama beating Vandy year-in and year-out doesn't make Bama a great team...Who you play matters.
@@user-et6sz3il2n If what Boise did is so easy why has LITERALLY NOBODY COME EVEN CLOSE to the clinic they put on for 4 years?
Win 50 games in 4 years and lose by no more than 5 total points. Lets just start there.
Knocks out -oh shoot the entire league.... j
@@MattBuild4 Let me get this straight, you think Boise State should be respected because they have dominated the Mountain West Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference before that? I'll let you think about that...
Also, Bama routinely wins 48 or more games in a 4-year span, against better teams, and under Saban, won championships during those spans.
Can't believe you are proud of "dominating cupcakes"...
There was no need for a playoff, Alabama and LSU would have played for the title either way and Bama was gonna win either way because they were the best team in the country. Don’t believe me just look up their stats for the 2011 season 🤷♂️
#1 defense, #20 offense?
They probably pushed hard for it after this season
Yeah, this season had to be the breaking point.
@@membroeditsI may be biased as a utes fan, but we were also the best team in 04 and 08 and got robbed both times. We absolutely blew out pitt and Alabama in our bowls too. It's a shame.
@@DoubleBreakMC Yeah Im thinking of doing an 08 season video...
Everyone has an opinion, that being said, the best team all year won the championship game. Neither Stanford nor Oklahoma State would have fared any better against Bama or LSU. Defense wins championships and these 2 teams were ranked 1 and 2, for defense. You can complain about the BCS system all you want. It put #1 vs #2 in the Championship Game, and that's exactly what it was supposed to do. If you make an argument about the other 2 one-loss teams in this video, you must look at that loss: Stanford was steamrolled by 23 points by Oregon, and Oklahoma State lost to an unranked Iowa State. All losses are not the same, anymore than all wins are the same. By the way, Stanford's defensive rank that year was #30, while Oklahoma State's defensive rank was #61.
It’s interesting Oregon beating Stanford bc LSU beat Oregon pretty bad week 1. 40-20 with 3 min left and Oregon scored another TD at the very end. I think they just assume LSU and Bama had bad offenses because of how these games played out. Both of them were top 20; these defenses were just insanely good.
22 guys drafted from both defenses over the next two draft classes.
@@INoticeTooMuch1 Exactly! These were the best 2 teams.
How good is your defense when you dont play a single team ranked in the Top 14 for total offense the entire season?
@@MattBuild4 That is an easy answer, simply put: When you play in the toughest most physical conference, against the majority of the best athletes, and give up a season long average of 8.2 points a game, and shut out your opponent in the National Championship game, you are: The Best.
If you look at the Offensive stat leaders for that same season, they all are from conferences KNOWN for their lack of defense. I would suggest to you that those are only top offenses because of that fact. As an example, Houston had the top ranked offense that season. Take a look at that schedule, and tell me with a straight face, that Bama or LSU wouldn't have done as well, or better, against that light-weight schedule...
@@user-et6sz3il2n And "the toughest most physical conference" is measured by what metric? Or is it just "trust me bro"?
Cuz if I recall in 2011 the narrative was the SEC is so tough, yet little G5 Boise State walked in Georgia and SLAUGHTERED the SEC East Champs.... got straight up manhandled by the little G5.
Of course, a video of gripes about a year in which Alabama won the national championship.
No doubt man, Bama whooped a unanimously voted number 1 team, the only undefeated team with a really hard schedule, but yes this year of all years, we “really needed” a playoff when the other 1 loss teams lost to some mid ass schools….
2011,2007,2008, 2004, 😂
Playoff era is so much better. Wish we had it in 2011 or earlier. I really don’t get all the Stockholm syndrome some fans have for the BCS and whatever stupidity proceeded it.
Sec bias
That year didn’t need a playoff. The 2 best teams were clearly bama and lsu. Hell, this 12 team playoff is nothing but a money grab. No team below 6 will EVER win.
Yea the year the unanimously voted number 1 team gets destroyed is when we “really needed” a playoff🙄get tf out of here with that whiny bs. Only acting that way cause Bama
as a Bama fan your getting upset over nothing. the video just basically is saying, their were three teams deserving at a shot at the national title. he even said the bcs prolly made the right choice in picking Alabama
Shut up bama bitch no more Saban no more Natty's. prepare to be the back in my day guy for the next 40 year #GoBlue
@@AIRWAY26 I understand, but there is many other BCS years that didn’t involve Alabama that are much better examples
@@jacksonbryant3862 yea 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 were worse years
