re: 2011 Alternative Scenario

what galls me is if everything with LSU and Alabama in 2011 was the same except they won the regular season game 9-6 in overtime, there was no way on Earth LSU would have been in the BCS title game.

Sure. But I'm also not the Bama fan running my mouth off about how other teams spit the bit. My comment was about the hypocrisy of an Alabama fan criticizing another program for not taking care of business when Bama has failed to finish strong and yet been rewarded with two national titles.

Y'know. Goose. Gander. All of that.

There is no need for the insults; I'm not a Gump.
Did 2007 Ohio State finish the season strong? They lost their second to last regular season game and didn't play in a conference championship game.
Again, 2001 Nebraska and 2003 Oklahoma finished the season as weak as you can possibly get but still made the title game.

2006 Michigan wasn't given a rematch after losing a close one at Ohio State and rightfully so; it was the last game of their season. After the fact, Ohio State and them were blown out in their respective bowls. Why are people defending teams that were exposed in their bowl games? If Oklahoma State's loss to Iowa Sate and near misses with Texas A&M, Kansas State, and Stanford mean nothing to you guys, then I don't know what to say.
