re: LSU v Alabama playing for another BCS title in Jan

First off, if LSU loses, LSU is out. Period. End of story. Would have been that way last year as well, and rightfully so.

Next, if LSU is 13-0 again, beating Bama, it will depend on what media darling is next in line. If USC is there, Bama will fight with them for that spot. Also depends on whether or not LSU can beat Bama by enough points for the game to actually count. Beating Bama by 3 points really means you lost. I'm thinking we have to beat them by 17 (at least three scores) for the game to count in the media's eyes.

We also learned last year that conference championships are meaningless, unless you are a media darling as well. Just ask the Big 12. That conference was told by the media last year that, unless your conference champ is Oklahoma or Texas, your conference champion WILL NOT be playing in the BCSNC over another media darling.

I could go on and on, but many of you here are clearly denying the new reality of ESPN owned college football.
