Bama had no body of work other than a win over Arkansas.

And losing to the no. 1 team in the country by three points in overtime. The only team who came within a mile of beating LSU all year.

Alabama deserved to be in the title game, and they proved it by winning.

I'm one of those fans. My view was that beating a historically good Bama team (one of the best defenses of all time), and taking the entire season into account, would propel LSU to the top of the list of the best CFB teams of all time. Beating Okie State would have been very good, but like Oregon, WVU, Arkansas, etc., not as impressive as knocking off the consensus no. 2 team in the country. Twice.

I'm one of those fans that would really enjoy seeing alabama left out of the MNC game because they lost to LSU the first time...

And winning a National Championship...14-0 and still be considered ONE the best of all time. Beating 9 ranked teams is awesome!

IT FREAKING RETARDED TO BEAT ALABAMA TWICE IN ONE SEASON TO BE CONSIDERED THE BEST OF ALL TIME

YOU FANS HAVE LOST YOU COLLECTIVE MINDS...WE BEAT 3 TEAMS IN THE TOP 3, BAMA, O, AND ARKANSAS.

WAKE UP! WE HAD NOTHING TO PROVE BY BEATING ALABAMA AGAIN.

LSU was horrible offensively all year. I know, I know 38 pts per game. In reality without turnovers and big special team plays LSU offense was among the worst in the country for the last 3 years.

LSU defense was good not great like Bama's. LSU defense did a lot of bending and could not force a turnover or a 3 and out to help flip field position for the horrible offense.

In the two games combined Bama only punted maybe 6 times. Think about that for a sec. Out of about 20 or more offensive posessions LSU defense could only force a punt a handful of times.

LSU would likely win that game

The game I saw had LSU with 92 yards of offense for the entire game and made it to the 47 ydl of Alabama one time. You can't honestly say LSU would have won in Tiger Stadium. The home field advantage has historically been dubious for that game. When you can base an argument without using hypothetical points to prove it, fine, but until then, you can't give LSU the only hypothetical edge.

If LSU get's the benefit of hypothetical if's while keeping Alabama's play as the real version of what actually happened, Alabama gets to go hypothetical and keep LSU the real version.

So Alabama got all of the field goals and the deep pass wasn't an interception.

Alabama therefore beat LSU by 19 points. There would be no chance for a rematch, and Alabama would have played Okie State and won, after beating UGA.

See how ridiculous that is?

Majority of the nation felt Alabama was still a better team after 11/5 and most of the talking heads were talking how bama lost moreso than LSU won.
LSU was plenty motivated. They just were not lucky enough to pull off two upsets in one season

This is fricking rich coming from a fan of the team that "claims" to share a title with an undefeated team that beat them (ND in in the 73 Sugar bowl)

So when the BCS is reconfigured, and a different method of picking a title is chosen, the two LSU had with the rules that were set forth in the years that they won will be lost. That's fine.

I'm sure the AP title will be valid, so you can still have 2007.

It was their time.


We can wait for ours.

I'm saying if we play a 3rd game in Tiger Stadium without a lot of delay, LSU would likely win based on how the last game played out...scheme, motivation, home feild advantage etc...

We can what if all day

When I am old, this game will be the game that should have never been played...

And honestly,it does hurt deep because it's Alabama and Nick Saban...

Ive been a Tiger fan since the Mid 70's...had to endure a lot of tough losses during that time frame.

We have a big year and beat you on your home feild. We go undefeated and win the SEC and look, Alabama gets a 2nd shot!

Oh goody for us!

"See you next season"

That's my take, no one will ever change my mind

If the regular season is supposed to mean so much in college football, then what value did LSU beating Bama IN Tuscaloosa really have? The answer is nothing...I think that's what really pisses off LSU fans.
