doesn't it tell you that they think even if LSU loses, a 13-1 LSU vs a 12-1 Bama (with much weaker resume) has more claim to being considered the best team than Bama?

Nov. 5 was "Winner takes just a little bit."

In order to render their Nov 5th loss at home meaningless

Because it's true, no matter if we like it or not.

They can pretend all they want but they actually did lose in November. Bama is behind only North Korea as a dogmatic mass cult.

Because they are delusional.

they have the mentality of a team's fanbase that lost on Nov 5th and want it to be forgotten forever.

I want the crystal football. It is awarded to the team that WINS the BCSNCG. So winner takes all is appropriate.....could you imagine if LSU lost yet they said wait LSU come back on the field we have decided to award the losing team the crystal football. Not going to happen.

Do you think that what the gumps are saying is disrespectful toward LSU and what this team has accomplished?

Because in the vacant dark chasm where their brain should reside there's a fizzle of static electricity that's telling them they got lucky in November and that they're about to receive a beat down of epic proportions

Like it or not, its true. Never have a seen a fanbase so proud of a loss.


Really speaks to the volume of how dysfunctional the BCS has become when a team gets in because its loss is "better" than the wins of another team.

It's only a big victory if you beat them twice.

It really isn't "winner takes all" because our team has already won the SEC west and SEC championship. No one can take those away.

But the game is "winner takes BCS national championship" and that is so important as to be close enough to "winner takes all." The Gumps may not have it exactly right, but they're pretty darn close.

People who insist on "Mulligans" are always like that!

The same reason they and talking heads say the ap is irrelevant, they have nothing to gain if they lose. Lsu however could still be ap champs with a loss

So, LSU took all of Bama's previous NC's including all of the fake ones on November 5th and they are trying to get them back on January 9th?

Because we're anticipating LSU fans crying about Bama being awarded the NC after winning the NC game.

Don't see the problem here. The winner of the Championship game deserves it...unless you wanna be like those whiney USC fans circa 2003. If so...be my guest. I guess the extra whining around here shouldn't surprise me anymore.

If Bama wins, they can't take the SEC west or the SEC? so how is it winner take all?
