Have football fans (and reporters) lost their minds?

I just don't understand all this talk about how the two games between LSU and Alabama were somehow illegitimate, because they were low-scoring.

You're telling me that the games out west are better? Just because they have higher scores and more touchdowns?

People that write and say that stuff, including the overpaid people on ESPN, are silly.

They are stupid for telling me a game sucked because neither team scored 72 points.

It is football, not basketball.

Defense, and the SEC, wins championships.

Stopping a touchdown is just as impressive as making a touchdown. And anyone who doesn't understand that doesn't understand the game of football.

1. Illegitimate? I hadn't heard that.

The 1st game was competitive, and felt like a low-scoring baseball game, where you live and die on every pitch.

The 2nd game felt like LSU didn't give a shit. Alabama's defense played well, but the fact that LSU didn't challenge them wasn't all Bama's doing. If OSU would've been there instead, they would've stomped LSU. They were terrible.

2. It's all just noise.

Excuses, talk, chatter to avoid talking about the dumbest thing in sports today -
No playoff system!
It's not a debate.
It's doorknob DUMB.
