The greatest lie in this rematch was perpetrated by ESPN and some other media outlets when they pronounced "Obviously, LSU and the Gumps {paraphrased) are the two best teams in the Nation.

Because every other potential #2 shite the bed and choked on it coming down the stretch. Now it's time to leave no doubt.

Okie Lite is a bit of a wildcard.
Of course he'd rather play Alabama, a team he knows he can beat regularly.

Its the talk nationally and will be a block buster on TV.

Which Les Miles? The Les Miles that a few days ago said the BCS got it right by having Bama. Or the 2007 Les Miles who said, "If a team cannot win their Conference they are not worthy of a BCS Title game."

Exactly, just get the crystal football.

This has nothing to do about pitting the "two best teams against each other"...or "the eye test"...
The rematch has everything to do with money. ESPN pushed for the rematch because they wanted a cut of the kind of cash CBS raked in on Nov 5th. Secondly, ESPN has just inked a broadcasting deal with the SEC. Finally, make no mistake, ESPN is using this match-up as a way of discussing the downfall of the BCS and potentially to use it as a spring-board for playoffs.
It's about MONEY...nothing more nothing less

I am not a fan of this situation at all... but I can see both sides: fairness)- its not fair for other conference champs were passed over for a team that didn't win its conference . The two best teams )- there is little doubt that's Bama is the second best team in the nation and would give LSU the best competition(as supported by the records)

if you give other teams like Okla State
they had a chance--they lost to a bad Iowa State team

Wisconsin
They too, had a chance. Lost 2 games

Oregon
They had a chance to play LSU and got their asses waxed. For good measure, USC waxed their asses as well. To act like no other team had a chance is just wrong. They all had chances, including Bama. It just so happened when it all shook out, Bama was the one given the 2nd chance. But make no mistake, every other team in the nation had their chances as well.

We are the Rodney Dangerfield of football " I Tell 'Ya "
with the gumps being the prime offenders.

Yeah, I guess the only way we will be able to get some respect is by going undefeated, being #1 in the country, & playing for a national championship......wait a minute
