BAMA vs LSU will again determine who goes to the SEC Championship & possibly the NC game. Many wonder will it be a repeat NC BAMA vs. LSU if "WE" win the regular season in November.The new Playoff system doesn't kick in till 2014. QUESTION: Will Saban always get more votes than Miles, because he is a more respected coach? So, if we are better and I think "WE" are will Saban's team get another do over game for the NC.

I hope not.

I'm not sure if The Voters will want to go through all that again - even if they put Bama through instead of LSU. But who knows, it's still waaaaay too early to tell.

I don't think voters are going to want that to happen again.

I predict LSU vs Oregon, if USC has trouble against the Orange the Ducks are going to run a train through them.

If there is a one loss team with half a pulse, they will get voted in over having a rematch.

One thing is certain in this equation.....

Either LSU or Alabama will be there.

Might be the 2 best teams again..

My guess is LSU/Alabama vs USC/Oregon winners for the title..

Thing is though.. Say Oregon beats USC regular season. LSU beats Alabama. And USC beats Oregon in Pac12 Championship..

you have:
1. LSU
2. USC or Alabama..

So maybe there would be another rematch.. or vice versa with Oregon and Alabama and what not.


I just don't see them wanting to put 2 SEC teams in the title again. I think a 1 loss Oregon or USC, having beat the other would be in the title

Winner of LSU Bama will go to title game.
Although I'm quite sure these two are the best teams in the country, we will not have a rematch like last year.

Either USC/Oregon, OK, or FSU will be undefeated.

I hope not, but very possible based on what we have seen by week 2.

Surly might happen. They are by far the two best teams in the country.

Hell could freeze and thaw and freeze again before the powers that be ever allow that to happen again. EVER!. Besides, LSU got 100% screwed in that deal having to beat the gumps twice to be declared champs. WTF. How is that a just system.

No, my friend, what you have in CFB is a bunch of sniveling sycophants who worship ratings (read money) to the exclusion of fair play. They guessed wrong with the LSU-Bama rematch and will not repeat that mistake. Hence, the road to Damascus revelation of a playoff system. What brilliance!

"Having to Win your conference is "NOT" a must
they discuss it daily over here. The credit SLIVE of the SEC - for just because you loose your conference title DOES NOT mean you will not be in the play off in 2014. Right now nothing different is in place from last year regarding rules. It was always prior to last year ASSUMED you had to win your Conference.

If you're talking about the playoff system, that won't be in effect for this season.

Not gonna happen. If last year didn't happen then maybe. But won't do it two years in a row. Especially if LSU loses in November this time around.

I don't know about this year but I assure that when the new playoff system kicks in, Bama and LSU will play in at least 2 more National Championship games within the next 10 years. jmo

It really does depend on a few things. If LSU loses to Alabama in the regular season then there is zero chance LSU gets a rematch.

If Alabama loses to LSU then it is possible but not if any of USC, Oregon, Texas or Oklahoma are undefeated or have only 1 loss.

So probably no rematch. Very long odds for a rematch.

Next Season you have to when your conference it is a change not this season! Every thing changes in 2013-2014
16 men in a dark room pick the four playoff teams. It's a very bad system. And you must win your conference !!!

And so the corrupt system perpetuates itself like a cancer until the host is destroyed.
