the Nov.5 game was huge. It led to an SEC championship, which is by any measure a big deal and far from meaningless.
Yes. Meaningful for LSU fans.
If Bama wins on 9 Jan, the LSU SEC championship will mean absolutely nothing to everybody except LSU fans.
What value is a conference championship when your big rival in your conference division is sporting the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ring and trophy? Answer: not much, except to maybe LSU fans.
So, here is my main point, and it relates directly to the title of this thread. Based on all that has occurred, the truth is that LSU won nothing on 5 Nov 11. That game meant absolutely nothing.
The powers that be proved that point very clearly when they plopped Bama in the BCSNCG. By doing that, the point is made, and here is their message for LSU:
"LSU, you have to beat Bama on 9 Jan, because you really didn't win on 5 Nov. You have to beat Bama twice while thay only have to beat you once. That's just us showing our love for Bama and Saban. Deal with it, sucka. PS We won't say this in public, but your coach is an idiot. "

Which is the reason this should not happen. A conference champion should be immune from getting "one-upped" by a member of its own conference.
Playing into such a game, like in a playoff system, is one thing. But being placed there by voters is quite another thing.

Again, this is just plain wrong-headed. Let's take a longer view. LSU has another SEC championship, had an undefeated regular season, cements Miles as the best coach in LSU history and this team as one of the best in LSU history.
As for whom it is meaningful, I am LSU fan. I really am not as concerned what ESPN talking heads say or even fans of other schools. In few years not one soul will remember anything that ESPN talking heads said, or what a bunch of fans posted on the internet. What will remain is an incredible, record setting season with an SEC championship, something that both teams, LSU and Alabama play for and want to win.
You are being far too short-sighted in your evaluation. Your main point is simply wrong. Is it important to win the NC? Of course. That does not change the fact that the Nov. 5 has enormous significance, regardless of Jan. 9.
