So in other words, all a +1 would have done last year is made us have to beat yet another top-5 team before getting our rematch with Bama.

Woohoo, count me in

well, Bama would have had to play another game as well.

There is no realistic scenario in this universe, under our laws of physics, that Bama would have lost to Oklahoma State. All it would have done is make us feel better about having to play them again. LSU and Bama were just that much better than everyone else this year. Every other team had multiple close wins (or straight up losses) against inferior opponents. None of LSU's or Bama's games were even close, except when we played each other. This year, no matter whether we used a +1 or a 64-team playoff or the regular BCS system, LSU and Bama would have played for the title. Period. The sooner we realize all that, and accept the fact that the clearcut best two teams played for the title, as it should have been, the better.
