Insofar as we can compare the NFL to the NCAA, in the LSU/Bama case, LSU as the road team won the first game, with the rematch being a defacto home game in the Superdome.


The game is over. But I must say this is one of the dumbest things I've seen written about this "rematch".

Firstly, a defacto home game would have had more than 50% of the fans in favor of the home team in attendance. Secondly, if the game was at Tiger Stadium it would have had tens of thousands of more fans, and would have been a true home game.

When exactly in the NFL do the teams have more than a month to gameplan after coming off a loss?

So much fail. That Bama team was unreal, but no doubt we beat them at LSU at night if we played them 2 weeks after the BCS game.

Obviously NFL to College is apples to oranges. I was just refuting the notion that the losing team in the first game almost always wins the second game. The only real study on the issue says the opposite. The OP on the topic was wrong.
