No, they wouldn't.

No one has a claim to the title but us if we win in that game. Not one other team. Not even the biggest homer of Alabama could deny that.

But I do think it should be Bama, as they are head and shoulders the second best team.

Is it fair? Sure it is. You play the regular season to be 1 or 2 going into the second week of December. Which one you are then doesn't matter. That's the system we have.

There is no one that can play with us except Bama. Sucks for us, yes, but it is fair.

I say we play them, shut them up, and Saban, and show the world that LSU is the better team...."again", and then nobody will every have to back into anything.

It's not right, and I'm sure that the same pundits that are lobbying for Bama would NOT be lobbying for LSU if we'd lost to them and won out, because they (Bama) would be playing in the SEC Championship game.

That is an assumption based on stats and a loss by Alabama to LSU. The only thing that can be proven is that LSU > Bama, as was settled on the field. I'm amazed how confident everyone seems to be that Alabama is somehow magically entrenchted at number 2. The best thing they have going for them is that they managed to play LSU pretty close while still losing. Other than that, they've played a mediocre schedule and taken advantage of a down SEC. I just find it interesting that there is a strong possibility that several other one loss teams, some of them conference champions, may get passed over for the opportunity on the field to prove themselves against LSU because Alabama managed to keep the "Game of the Century" close.
