To repeat: We beat Alabama in their own stadium. We went on to win the division and then the conference away from home against yet another Top 10 team. Alabama was rewarded for losing to us, for being the 2nd best team out of 6 over a 12-game sample size, by receiving a bye week to scout us in the SECCG.

Holy. fricking. shite.

The villains in sports movies don't get that kind of treatment. It's still astounding to me that ESPN and the BCS not only allowed this to happen, but encouraged it all along.

Anyone with any rational sense of logic and fairness should be insulted by a team getting a fricking do-over in the national championship game.

It's the #1 screw job in LSU history, and it should go down as one of the worst in any sport for any team, ever.

I'm laughing because if I were watching a movie and the same scenario occurred, I would absolutely ask wtf?

Seriously, it's like watch this great team go through the season unscathed, including beating the #2 team from their own division at their house. Then boom, playing them again? How the hell would that happen without a playoff?
