LSU got hosed that year plain and simple.

The BCS was never about the two best teams as people will argue. The BCS website said as much as it regarded the bowls as a reward for the regular season played.

LSU already navigated a ridiculous schedule prior to that match up and their reward was an extra game and a rematch.

i dont think the junk they are handing out now under the name of playoff will be much better. But we all keep tuning in and spending money so it likely wont change.

Re-matches like that rarely work out for the winner of the first game, especially in college football.

Even though the game was played in our back yard, the revenge factor was simply too much to overcome.

I'm convinced though a third game, yes I know that would/could never happen, would have been a completely different game, closer to the first matchup that year.

Horrible way to end such a spectacular year.
