In that case like the other poster said, why play the bcs championship game? It's already happened. Are we playing for network executives and their network ratings? If the bcs was created to match to two best teams and the two best already played each other, then game over.


Why is Virginia Tech playing Clemson for the ACC championship? Clemson already beat Virgina Tech in the regular season. I don't like rematches either but they are part of sports. We would see them more often if we had a playoff. In this case, its like we had playoffs and Bama and LSU won their separate playoff trees. If there were playoffs, Bama would be top seed in the 2nd tree and the final game would end up with the same two opponents unless one or both were upset. What sport would cancel the final game based on regular season outcome?

Even better, IF LSU plays Bama in the NC game and beats Bama then if Bama has even an ounce of shame, it should refuse to play LSU the next year as we would have already beaten them twice.

You know what a Powerhouse the LSU team is going to be next year anyways so it should help them save face.

This is where your argument breaks down.

PLAYOFFS! YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT PLAYOFFS!!

In a playoff system the number one seed doesn't play ten top 25 teams three of those being top 5 and do it mostly on the road while the number two seed only plays three top 25 teams and gets a bye to the superbowl.

In a playoff, Bama would have to beat one or more ranked teams to get the chance of losing to LSU in the championship game, not a bye for sitting on your arse.
