Alabama is at the top of the college football world. The Crimson Tide defeated the LSU Tigers 21-0 to win the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) National Championship.

My hat is off to Alabama, but they were helped greatly by LSU. A poor game plan, uncreative play calling, poor coaching and an unwillingness to make a change at quarterback helped the Crimson Tide defense look better.

The Tigers' loss was more about Les Miles' terrible coaching than anything else.
