Alabama was a better team than LSU in 2011. I can admit that.
Which makes our victory over them in Tuscaloosa all the more impressive,

and yet another mark against their resume that they did not take care of business the way a champion should.
You lost me there with "the way a champion should". Must I bring up 2003 and 2007 LSU? While you didn't get a rematch in either title game, you most certainly did not control your destiny from start to finish; you needed help, just like anyone else that didn't finish undefeated, with a strong schedule, or voter bias.

LSU won their division and conference both years, and no one got hosed on LSU's behalf.
USC did in 2003, but that's because OU didn't deserve to be there. Luckily, the AP fellatio paid off for them and all they had to do to get recognized as an NC was to beat pussy Michigan.

Obviously.
But the difference is that Alabama did NOTHING after their loss to earn their way back in to the game.
LSU certainly did in 03 and 07, and so did OSU. LSU also had the most impressive wins in the country in 07 as well.
OSU beat the best team on their schedule in the final game by five touchdowns to win their conference while Alabama sat at home.
Was the Arkansas win in SEPTEMBER truly so overwhelming as to overshadow a win like OSUs over an Oklahoma team just as good as Arkansas??
And I admitted Alabama was better than LSU, but that's in hindsight after 1/9.
I certainly wouldn't have accepted that in December. But the media had already annointed Bama as the better team despite the scoreboard.
Alabama got the same benefit of the doubt that OU did in 03 after losing their last game.
A benefit that the media was so outraged by they broke off from the BCS and split the title.
LSU was coincidentally, and infuriatingly, the victim in both of those cases.
It leads many of us to feel like a media whipping boy from time to time, and I challenge any fanbase to say they wouldn't feel the same
