Torched? Cause we gave up 90 yards to the best RB in the nation? What did he do when it mattered most in the game? Pretty sure he had about -20 rushing yards in the end of the 4th and overtime.

Do you understand what he is saying? He simply said that LSU dominated in OT. What does total yardage in the game have to do with anything?

Hey it's going to be a great game. I was just trying to discuss. Bama is not soft. I think we got a chance. That was just my $0.02. I have the utmost respect for LSU.

Really like the respect between the players. Speaking on Russell Shepard texting TR to say "see you in NOLA." Very classy and cool to show support.

LSU dominated overtime. That shite happened. It was glorious.

ETA just saw your retraction above, and yes I expect it will be an epic game. Again. If it happens. :)

That last one I'll give you simply because I misread it. Prefer not to think of myself as stupid, but rather drunk at this time. Either way, my bad.

The rest of the arguments I made, I'm keeping my opinion though.

I agree with other posters. In my opinion, it doesn't matter who LSU plays...for Les Miles is Money when he has time to plan for any opponent especially during bowl games. Also, many of the players are not stranger to the DOME because they have played there during the State Championships. Hell, if I'm not mistaken JJ was undefeated there in HS. So, I agree with many posters...that the speed will be a factor and too much for any opponent.

Look, the issue it raises is if Bama beats LSU you have 2 one loss teams who have only lost to each other. To crown Bama the champion would be a travesty and not correct.

In order for this game to mean anything is if you have a rubber match in case Bama wins, otherwise there is no upside for LSU besides reaffirming what they already accomplished in beating Bama.

There should be some rule written where you can't play in the game if you didnt' win your division, conference or title game if there is one.

Otherwise scrap the whole system and go to playoffs. Until then, you can't have rematches if you want the bowl system to retain meaning. Where were all the rematch proponents when Mich and OSU were 1 and 2 in 2007 and we overtook a one loss mich to play osu in the bcs?

Several valid points in this thread. I enjoyed the read.

I'm not scared of Bama at all but to say they have a better resume than OK ST (assuming they beat OU) is a matter of opinion.

Yes, OK ST has a weak loss, but they may be conf. champs who haven't lost to LSU.

With that said, it seems like bama fans are saying "We deserve to play LSU because we lost to LSU"

I bet there will be a lot of bama turned sooner fans next weekend.

It will be interesting to see which way the voters go if OK ST wins.

If there is a rematch, the pressure will be on bama.

But bama fans, don't get your hopes to high up for a victory in the dome. If you do, you may be setting yourself up for yet another disappointment and look like the guy in my avatar. :)

Exactly. Already been there done that. A new team and another win over another conference only makes the season that much more special.

I much prefer this.

All of this plus I would get my paws on 4 tickets from ticket reserve.

I actually think if Georgia beat LSU that should hurt Bama's chances.

You still can't put Bama ahead of a team that beat them at THEIR HOUSE. Why would you want to see 2 teams who didn't even win their conference play for a NATIONAL Championship..

Four thoughts:

(1) I don't think Georgia will win (and hope they don't) but it may or may not hurt Bama's chances. Clearly in the computers it hurts. But don't assume a team who lost cannot be voted over the team that beat them. That happens frequently - especially when the team that beat them loses later in the season. But I don't want that to happen or Boise State fans will declare themselves SEC champs and maybe even national champs - and I don't think BSU would beat Georgia today.

(2) If Bama had made any of their missed field goals, LSU fans who would be arguing why LSU should get a rematch. The fact is, the BCS NC game is designed to pit the two best teams against each other, and that is Bama and LSU. Bama had their chance and blew it. But then the other contenders got their chances and they blew them even worse. Is it unfair to LSU to have to play Bama twice? Yes. But it would be more unfair to replace Bama with an inferior team just because SEC haters don't want to see an all-SEC NC game. OSU lost to an unranked team only last weekend while Bama's loss was to the top ranked team in the middle of the season. Who you lost to and when you lose is at least as important as who you beat. And I think when the smoke clears, Arkansas will be ranked higher than any team OSU beats. Here is an observation of an Oklahoma State fan acknowledging why Bama should go over OSU posted on their own web site: If Bama played Iowa State instead of LSU and had Oklahoma State had played LSU, Bama would be undefeated and OSU would still have one loss.

(3) The ironic part of this thread is that LSU fans are making a bigger deal about Bama playing in the NC game than even the OSU fans. After visiting a number of sites including Auburn, VT, Stanford, Oregon, Oklahoma State and this one, the two fan bases that most don't want to see Bama play in the NC game are(1) Auburn and (2) LSU. Those two fan bases are making a bigger deal out of it than any fan base of a would-be contender.

(4)If Bama end up in a rematch and wins, I think it should be documented with a footnote because, IMO, the 2011 LSU and 2011 Bama teams are better than any team since before 2007. I don't like rematches but these are clearly the best two teams. I think Bama's special teams will be the difference again and Bama loses another close one.

Rematch is a lose/lose for Bama. They win, it's tarnished. They lose, it's total humiliation


I disagree somewhat. We lose, they told us so, we win, well you are playing at home witht the advantage.

I can say its hard to beat a team 2 times in one season but we did it to Georgia or its hard to get up to play them twice even if it a NC game. But Bama has to beat us this one time without having won the conference and call themselves NC's.
