The reason behind the anti-Bama sentiment

Here's my $.02:

The reason LSU fan's are bothered by this potential Bama rematch has little to do with "fear" and more to to with annoyance of the situation. Here are some reason:

1. This rematch talk stands conventional thinking on its head. College football operates under the assumption of lose and you're out. If you lose, it's out of your hands. While I know the BCS does not exclude rematches, conferences are set up, and have historically been set up to determine a champion. Said champion is awarded the opportunity to play against another conference champion (or at least a team from another conference) because of College football teams play roughly 10% of the available teams. That's a pretty small sample when compared to other sports. To omit and exclude the sample pool from the other 90% of teams, several of which have comparable resumes (OSU and VT in particular), has not been the way it works. This is irksome.

2. There is the assumption that a rematch would not be granted the other way around. I think there is a feeling that a rematch would not occur if it were any team other than Bama. Had LSU lost, they would be looking in. To compare, would you see Arkansas, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, or Auburn with the identical resume being propped up for a rematch?

Conversely, would Oklahoma or Texas, and not Oklahoma State be virtually dismissed from the conversation with the same resumes? I doubt it. A lot of it lingers from USC 03 where an LSU team with a clearly stronger resume was dismissed by the media.

That's the root of it IMO, not all but the base of people's frustration. Not fear, but sense that Bama is being given a mulligan when I don't think it woudld be given to others.

Whatever. We beat the Dawgs and the Tide again. LSU 11: GOAT.
