From a Bama fan/grad

I completely understand the animosity towards the idea of a potential rematch because we would be saying the same things if the roles were reversed. I do have to disagree with a previous post that LSU would have been excluded if we would have won. The idea was already being bantered about before the game that LSU would have a very strong case for a rematch if it was a close game. I sincerely am against the idea of a rematch in general; however, in my opinion lsu and alabama are so significantly better than anyone else that it was unavoidable this year. Good luck this week

Sounds reasonable to me. Good luck to you Sir.

LSU was being discussed because it would have been a close "road" loss versus losing in your own backyard. Home losses= penalized more . That was the contention. Not sure I would have agreed with it, but that was the basis

I rather agree. The fact is the BCS has been very very good to LSU. The inequities of this year aside, we can't whine about how this imperfect process unfolds as we were fortunate beneficiaries of the process in 03 and 07.

This is actually quite correct. Prior to our game on Nov 5th, many said the ONLY way a potential rematch could happen is if LSU lost (given our OOC schedule and results).

Yes, that was discussed. LSU, and only LSU, would have a case for a rematch. The punditry agreed that Bama would not get a rematch bc it was a home game. Yet immediately after the game, I started hearing about a rematch.

I agree with all of this.
The problem is the polls are damned if they do and damned if they don't . . . depending on whose ox is gored.
I've argued the in favor of another team getting a shot, but at this point I don't care that much anymore.
I think LSU wins in the Mercedes Benz Superdome, regardless.
Or as they say in Tuscaloosa, irregardless.
j/k

Way to put it Bama fan.

Great post, but what may have been talked about and what would actually happen are two different things. IMO, I don't think for one moment LSU would have been afforded a rematch.

That's the sentiment of Bama fans I've discussed the topic with.
Of course, they're educated, too.

Problem is that if Bama had won at LSU by the same score none of those talking heads on ESPN, who several went to Alabama, would be promoting a rematch. They would be talking about the fact that Bama going into Baton Rouge and winning showed just how much better Bama is than everyone else in the country and how much better they are than LSU. No one would be saying LSU should have won or was the better team and just didn't play well on that day. It would not be anywhere near the same conversation.

If there was a play off system in CFB. I think they would meet in the end.
