And the LSU players touched the ball first and to me already had possession with a knee down.

This is exactly correct. Something no one mentioned is the LSU player had both hands on the ball with his knee on the ground before the Alabama player touched the ball. Should of been LSU ball as the LSU player had full possession before the out of bounds player knocked it out of his hands.

You are correct! Someone show me where you have to have 2 hands on the ball for x seconds to have “ possession”. Another example of Refs using their input to influence game outcome.

I don’t agree with it but I think the official was saying that lsu player didn’t have complete control of the ball - it’s ridiculous

That's what I saw too. Our guy had both hands on the ball with a knee down before the Bama guy touched it. The rule is perfectly fine; refs just botched the call.

WORST CASE, the ruling on the field was LSU recovered. Video evidence was not sufficient enough to overturn the original call.
