re: The way the voters should view the Alabama rematch situation

quote:

---

You shouldn't be playing for a National Championship if you already lost to the team you would be playing and you didn't even win your division.

When asked what the purpose of the BCS is earlier this year:

Commissioner Swofford: "The purpose is pretty simple, and that is to provide the #1 and #2 ranked teams the opportunity to play each other in a national championship game."

This is not an arguable point under the current system.

LSU & Alabama should be playing for the title based on this system.

I can't stand thinking that LSU could lose to a team they already beat & not be considered the champion, but that's not a reason that they shouldn't be playing each other for the title

When LSU & Alabama play on Jan. 9th, the BCS has accomplished its purpose.
