We did play the best, we beat them on Nov 5, if we keep playing same good team odds say that will eventually happen...it just happened the second time around.

What?? Have you? Because I can't think of anybody who would not want to win a national championship, possibly go down as one of the greatest teams ever, and own a rival, who was the second best team to compete against that year.
We got out coached. Big time, that's it. And JJ shite the bed big time.

Wow, I agree with all of this.

Sure have, and had the same outlook as I do about real life. I want to play/work against the best to get an accurate measure of myself. If I beat/outwork the best, I'm doing it right.

Former coach, undefeated season...the list goes on and on. If the boys from the bayou couldn't get up for this one...they lack intestinal fortitude, and LSU has bigger problems than QB management.

That's all true. Alabama had a significant psychological advantage. LSU was "rewarded" for winning the SEC West by having to play an extra game. Alabama was rewarded for finishing 3rd in the SEC by getting a pass to the NCG and in essence playing with house money. All that said, LSU's offensive gameplan was ill-conceived and naive. Even w/ a better gameplan, Jefferson still may have performed poorly (dropped snaps, fallen down, etc.) but we'll never know. Alabama did not deserve to be in the game, but, other than LSU, frankly, who did?

The same could be said for you. I would think that anyone who has played competitive sports knows what it's like to be that close to a goal, and realize that you have to do whatever it takes to get it done. It's not hard. Anyone who's played a tennis match knows how to do this, for God's sake. Just about any competitive scenario I can think of, someone who is that close to winning doesn't need external motivation to beat a team they've already beat to win.
This is not why they lost.

College football is different than most sports.
Each game is massively important relative to a Championship
Beating Alabama didn't serve as a punishment to Alabama.
That's a huge blow to LSU from the word go.
If you can see that reality, then no argument will be reasonable in your way of thinking.
It's stupid to finish second in your division and still play for a National Championship without a playoff format. People just voted what they thought would happen.
I have always been against the rematch because it never sucked for Alabama to lose...but some how it sucked bad for all the other teams in the country who still won their conferences.
It makes no sense and that's why the game should have been played.

I suspect you are against a playoff or a plus one then.

Just say you're upset and the whole thing isn't fair. It seems like that is what you took away from your time playing sports.

IF LSU loses to UGA, you guys get left out
Ok...that's the reality...LSU beat you and then essentially helped into the game that only fueled your motivation from the loss while LSU is going "Wait, no, we eliminated them on the 5t?"

Don't like comparing NFL and college. We were all told and sold a bill of goods that the winner on Nov 5. takes it all. The players left it all on the field that night.
Leading up to the game, I kept feeling how much more I would have been pumped if we were playing OSU and was hoping the players didn't feel the same. They were.

It was tangible football issues. Alabama beat us. People don't want to admit what is staring them right in the face. Once Alabama was able to stop the run, it became CLEARLY, BY A LARGE MARGIN, the better team.
Without the benefit of having already played LSU $abun never realizes he has to change his teams Identity on Offense. As for bamas D......Again I doubt he would have done much to stop the option without Nov 5

somewhat different because the teams would have to win a so-called elimination game to get there, i.e. winner moves on, loser goes home...Bama didn't really have to do that this year.

Look, you can be a smart jerk all you want.
If you polled the nation (prior to the game), 80% would tell you that the rematch was unfair (and unwanted) for LSU on many level to play Alabama.
Sorry you can't see it...
The BSC format should avoid rematches because we have no playoff
the loser always wants another shot
The winner always says, "see you next year"

OP is well said and probably totally true. The rematch bowl had Advantage Bama written all over it.

Is total horseshite.
And we benefited from it in 2007 and it was BS then too.
Lsu and bama fans as well as all other fanbases need to realize that we deserve a true tournament style playoffs.
F the plus 1

Ancedotal poll #'s are fun.

The BCS is designed to get #1 and #2 in the title game. It did that. Just like it got LSU in the title game in '07 while having 2 losses.
Look, man. I get it. It suuuuuuckks to lose. But, to say that the players "didn't get up" for the game is nuts.
