not to necessarily put the two "best" teams in the same game. it is to crown the season's champ.

LSU has already run through the gauntlet with Alabama being a part of this run. We shouldn't have to play them again.

as many as it takes for ESPN to stop the stupidity

Make Alabama go on the road and beat Oregon, OSU or OU, Stanford this weekend....we go play UGA...that would at least be more fair

you haven't heard this new twist to the argument though. its new.

when people say the BCS's job is to put the two best teams in the game, you come back with my argument...

I heard this take a couple days ago and haven't seen it repeated anywhere so here goes.

The NC game is not to find out who the second best team is - it is to find the best team.

Alabama is not the best team = it is perhaps second best. That fact has already been established.

Now - the NC game is not to reaffirm who is second best.

What is needed is to find out if some OTHER team may be the 'best.'

Alabama has already had their opportunity and failed.

Bring on someone else who has not already been eliminated.

eta: - as for me - I don't care - LSU can beat anyone. Come on Alabama - we will beat you again.

Exactly. People are also forgetting that the Oklahoma State players lost on the same day they had two of the schools women's basketball coaches killed in a plane crash.
If Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma, they deserve to be in the NC game.

That's a good way of putting it.

Listening to BAMA fans beg for the rematch is like flipping a coin with a buddy to see who pays for beer, only to have him lose and then declare, "Best 2 out of 3!" And then, "Best 3 out of 5!"

We get it, you're sad you lost with everything on the line with all possible advantages in your favor. Sucks to be you...

That's what I think it should be. Let the last two unbeatens play. Sure, it'll be an arse-whooping, but Alabama's already had their shot and everyone else has lost to much lesser competition.

We will crush Bama if we get to play them again. Doesn't matter to me who we play
