I think it's pretty obvious that Bama and LSU as good as each other this year. LSU having a slightly better defense.
Did you watch the game...at their house? We dominated 3 qtrs.
We beat them 7/10 times on a neutral field this year.
You obviously still have Bama from the previous 8 years in your head. They're very good...not elite

LSU was great that year! But Bama was clearly the better team. I love LSU, but I'm not a dishonest idiot.

You’re really saying if we take LSU’s other 3 Top 10 wins away and replace them with AL’s opponents, that the general feeling about our standing would be the same? LOL
I can’t speak for the average Rant contributor, but with the way our defense has performed after halftimes, the level of our competition is the only reason I have confidence.
Stop being an apologist for those that don’t want to see network money unfairly give the undeserving an opportunity to win all the marbles from a team that beat them at their place, then had to beat another top 5 team essentially at their place, for the right to play them again after they spend their time preparing for you without even risking injury, and never having beaten a Top 15 team once.
There is no justifiable explanation to fair competition in that scenario. Forget the fans, the coaches, and the schools. Think about the kids and their blood, sweat, and tears. Remember too, it would be the 2nd time in 8 years.
And I say all this not for your sake, b/c you’re obviously too stupid to get it, but those that do.

Lol, actually I thought you were setting this up to say if the roles were reversed that the media and playoff committee would have totally written LSU off and we would not be in the conversation- we likely would be ranked 10th or lower if we were in Bamm’a Shoes. Funny I thought you were talking about that kind of hypocrisy. Lol.
If we had Bama's schedule, played as good as we have all year, and lost by 5 points last weekend to Bama, every one of you would be saying we should be considered a top 4 team. And you know it's tru

I agree with this, but we did allow them to come back. And at the end of the day, it's about points.

Disagree. As it stands right now, Bama is still one of the 4 best teams and that's based on what they've shown throughout THIS year.

Because this thread isn't about that. As I said in OP, "let it play out".
This thread is about everyone being so hypocritical.

Except there are teams with equal schedules that will win their conference.. football exists outside of the SEC

Depends on the committee members interpretation of the game.

You're basing everything you've 'seen' on what they've done against bad competition...admit that. They just haven't looked dominant to me.
I don't think auburn beats them, but I think you're going to see more kinks in their armor.
It's all opinion at this point, based on horrible samples of information

You know, I'm going to be honest here for just one moment.
No, I don't want any part of a rematch. Yes, we COULD win that, but it's ridiculous that we even have to think about it.
Seriously- how many times have there been "games of the century"?
Oklahoma-Nebraska, Miami-Florida State, Ohio State-Michigan, etc. Those were absolute monsters, and you know what, the winner won, the loser lost, and the world moved on. Winners didn't have to worry about proving themselves AGAIN; you could simply point at the scoreboard and say "frick you, we won".
2011 was infuriating, and from an overall objective point of view, unfair and unprecedented. Sure, there had been a couple rematches in the past, but those were mostly dictated by bowl tie-ins (other great matchups were unavailable because the other worthy opponent would be in another bowl).
To think they would even consider doing this AGAIN, to LSU with regards to Alabama... it's a joke. It completely disrespects the outcome on the field, and everything LSU has accomplished- dur, you beat Bama, but we aren't sure you should have, so you have to beat them again

You state that Alabama is 1 of the four best teams like it is a fact when in reality that is just an opinion.
I think that Alabama is not one of the top four. That is my opinion. You called people hypocrites and idiots when your opinion and anyone else's opinion is equally as worthy.
My opinion is that Oklahoma and Oregon both would beat Alabama because of Alabama's defense but that is just an opinion.

I'm just curious- what happens if Minnesota beats Ohio State?
Do you do this for them- say Ohio State really is still the better team, and deserves a rematch? Do they bump Bama out in favor of this?
I mean, Ohio State has been right around the same spot Bama has been, and in lots of power rankings a hair better.

Basically they are UCF last year, same weak schedule to dominate, except that they have already lost to LSU. explain to me again why they should be top 5?
Would you have put UCF in the playoffs last year?
I, like you, don't give a shite if we end up playing them again. We are the better team this year and will beat them again if we play again. But don't try to sell me on best or deserving over the others.
#4 fell to #9, why doesn't #3 fall to #8? #4 lost on the road by 5 and #3 lost AT home by 5 in a game that they were favored to win by 6.

If LSU had Alabama’s schedule and lost to Bama on the road, they’d be ranked no higher than 8 right now.

Great, so like I said - Let it play out and stop whining about it right now.

The difference is the media wouldn’t talk about us again in the CFB race and find a reason to keep us out (warranted imo) and we’d wind up like last year...a non playoff NY6 game.
Meanwhile, they immediately make excuses for Bama and theorize scenarios to keep them in. If there’s hypocrisy anywhere, it’s the media.

I started this thread because astronomically stupid comments like this.
If UCF were in the playoffs last year, they would've gotten blown out. You seriously think Bama would get blown out if they were in the playoff?
