Was this your stance before this scenario played out? Would it be if we had lost 9-6 in overtime?


As an LSU fan, I would obviously want the rematch.

As a rational college football fan, I would value conference champions over non-conference champions with equal losses.

I don't blame the Alabama fans for pushing for a rematch, but their argument is pretty weak when all the resumes are viewed objectively.

169 out of 170 voters last week put Bama #2. Even if the margin was the same (which I don't think it will be, Alabama made up the ground in the other 2 computers like I said last week and split them. The margin should be greater) 40 votes or more would be needed to turn. There aren't even enough in Big 12 country to be homers and thrown off the BCS.


Voters know that until the last week, this vote doesn't really mean much. Also, they haven't had a reason to get behind a team and have an "excuse" to bump a team over them. OSU winning big in Bedlam while Bama sitting at home watching the SEC championship on TV would give them that "excuse" to knock Bama from 2 and out of the national championship game.

Huh? Alabama fans have not pushed for anything. People like me have just stated was what going to happen 2 weeks ago. Most LSU fans just view it as "being a homer" rather than being able to do math. Not only that but also look at ALL sides and how the computers are going to take losses as well as wins into account. So far, it looks like Alabama fans are being PROVEN more right by the day. Jus' sayin'.
