In all likely-hood LSU will be #4 and Bama will be #5 with an LSU win, but after a 3rd place team in a conference played for a championship I will never take logic in college football for granted.
Butthurt much?
I'll post this here.
My goodness, I wish everyone could keep this feeling to themselves. Why can't people who think this see the following:
The BCS was created to pit the 2 best teams against one another.
2011 Final BCS Standings:
1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma State
4. Stanford
5. Oregon
Here we go. Alabama had a bad night and LSU took advantage, winning a 3 point OT game at Alabama. Coming into the game, the perception was that Alabama was better. Coming out of the game, the perception was that LSU was even at best.
Everyone likes to complain that teams who don't win their conferences shouldn't play in the BCSNCG. Did everyone just forget Nebraska '01 and Oklahoma '03? Those two suffered blowout losses the final week of the season (CCG weekend).
Continuing on that topic, there is no CCG for the Big 12. Oklahoma State just went undefeated with 2 close games and a loss, compared to Alabama's 1 close game/loss. This loss to future unranked, 6-7 Iowa State was inexcusable. Oklahoma State blew a 17 point lead! Oklahoma State yielded 568 yards and 37 points to IOWA STATE!
Continuing, Stanford did not win the PAC12. They suffered back-to-back season blowouts to Oregon. Stanford showed how pathetic Oklahoma State was in the Fiesta Bowl, but that's after the fact. Stanford's kicker couldn't get it done, but that's not the only reason they lost.
Rematches in college football period seem generally disliked. Though it was the first game of the season, an Oregon/LSU game would have still been a rematch. While I believe the results might have been different the second go, Oregon never had a chance with their 2 losses. Alabama looked much better against LSU anyways.
Let's revisit some other relevant history. Florida lost to Florida State in the '96 regular season but was allowed a rematch in the '97 MNC and won in dominating fashion. LSU beat a good Georgia squad twice in 2003. Oregon could beat an underachieving USC twice this season. This goes to show that playing and even beating the same good team twice in one season is achievable. Why don't you look at other factors on your own sideline as to why you lost 1/9?

The inferiority complex of the LSU fan base is without equal. Just relocate to Auburn so you can officially play the little sister role if you are going to ask questions like this.

Incorrect.
The BCS was created to match #1 vs #2 in a championship game. There is a difference. Most years, #1 and #2 are "the two best teams." Nonetheless, the BCS was not created to pit the "two best teams." If the "best team in the country" ends up losing 4 games, they are not going to the BCSCG.
It is up to the humans and the computers to determine #1 and #2 by whatever subjective (humans) or mathematical (computers) means they so choose. In 2011, more voters than not thought it should be Alabama-LSU. There were also quite a few voters that thought it should be LSU-OSU... There were simply more of the former than the latter.

That's the technical definition, and you are correct. You are also correct in stating that's been correct most times. Your losing 4 games argument is good too. Alabama lost 3 regular season games in 2010, but at season's end looked like they could have been #1 or #2. Oh well, I guess that's why we call them MNC.
To the LSU and/or South Carolina fans who don't like my posts, ignore them. If you can't respect my opinions then keep your thoughts to yourself. The Tiger Rant is open to all users, so if you don't want to hear from opposing users like me then request that the SEC Rant LSU forums be separate from these, so other fans cannot post on your board.

0% chance Bama stays ahead of LSU if LSU wins the game
Posted on 10/30/12 at 4:20 pm to ULMbamaSlayer
I think the odds that Lsu beats Bama is 57%. The odds that Bama would stay ahead, 7.5%. It would have to be because the refs blow a call and give Lsu the game, like the PP7 interception was blown, but for Bama. Or someone critical to Bama's success doesn't play, and they lose in OT.
