And an arguement for those who fear a LSU-Bama rematch (like a bunch of pussies):

Remember the ending weeks of 2006? We were faced with another big BCS question: Did #1 OSU and #2 Michigan deserve a rematch in the BCSCG, despite the fact they had just played a week earlier?

Instead of a rematch, Florida got the nod for #2 and played in the BCS. This was a good thing. The BCS is designed to select the #1 and #2 teams in the country. But seeing as how Florida was the #1 team, a rematch between OSU/Michigan would have been a massive failure of the BCS to pick out #1 and #2.

From the regular season, we know LSU is at most #1. We also know that Bama is at most #2, that Bama cannot be ranked higher than LSU due to the head-to-head. This prompts many to believe this year's BCS matchup must be LSU vs Bama.

But, what if LSU isn't really #1, just like how OSU wasn't really #1 in 2006. Would we really put in Bama, a team which wouldn't be #2 if LSU is really #2, in ahead of a team which could beat LSU?

I dare say, LSU's defense hasn't had to play against a pass-happy offense, such as OkSt or Stanford. Are we so certain we could beat them we don't need to bother playing a game? In general, look at the Big 12-2-2 compared to the SEC in the regular season: Arky could barely fight back to beat 1-half-TAMU.

Are we absolutely 100% certain that playing OkSt would be a faceroll? And wouldn't playing them to make sure, be the only way we can rightfully claim to be the BCS champion?

Michigan lost their last game. Alabama didn't. USC was number 2 and they lost to UCLA. Fla was number 4 and they jumped #3 Michigan. It's a little bit different.

How many times and for how many yards did WVU throw on us? And score 21 points?

Yes. We would win by 14-28 points.
