I always hear people say this and it blows my mind.........How were they clearly the better team?

There were afforded the luxury of playing us again because nobody else could go undefeated.

We beat them on their home field because on that night, when it was suppose to count for all the marbles, our defense, and our special teams was better than theirs.

Nobody can dispute this.

The 2nd time around their defense outclassed our offense by Miles(pun intended). There is no other way to state it.

They can't cleary be better when we were 1-1 against them.

In fact, like the poster above said they were so clearly better than a Russel Sheppard catch and turn instead of falling on his butt or an inch to the left on the Ford run, and they wouldn't even had the opportunity to play us again.

That's pretty much the gist of it. Give them credit for having a strong team last year, coming to play, and out executing LSU in New Orleans but it was a huge stroke of luck for Alabama to be afforded the chance to play for the title. LSU just has to take care of business this year and 1-9 can be diminished. CFN has been wrong plenty of times before and this piece wasn't particularly well written.
