LSU and Alabama in BCS National Title Game?

Whoop whoop!  Roll Tide!  We want a rematch!  WTG, Iowa State! 

Just for the record, LSU didn't beat Bama. Bama beat Bama by missing FG's. Tigers were just fortunate enough to be on the field when the meltdown happened.

If there is a re-match, which will probably happen, Bama won't beat themselves again.

I agree Nash, I always say we are unbeaten but we did lose to LSU. We were not beaten that night we lost the darn thing.

Looks like Bama gets a chance to redeem themselves. BCS made the right choice, any other team would get crushed by LSU.

Yes we do, say we win this one 9-6 or any combination of scores that we win it close within a touchdown range, I think its possible it may be a shared championship tiltle. I really dont see it as a problem imo just curious what others think about this scenario.

I hope the field goal kicker has made whatever adjustments he needs to make.

The adjustment is no more 40+ yard field goals.

I think you are right and given that if Alabama wins in a close game either in regulation or overtime again then it will be a push and very likely they would share the title.  About the only way, this year, that the BCS will come out shining or looking decent is if Stanford overwhelms Oklahoma State and Alabama wins decisively against LSU in a blowout.  The worst case for BCS advocates would be for Oklahoma State to do to Stanford the same as they did to Oklahoma and Alabama get beat or blown out by LSU.  Talk and speculation will never cease that the wrong teams played for the National Championship.  

I think a playoff would have been better.  Let #2 play #4 and #3 play #5 and then the two winners take on each other followed by a final game of winner vs #1.  I do believe Alabama will handle their business better in the coming game and I believe very strongly that Baylor's quarterback is a lock for the Heisman trophy this year.  Time will tell.

There is no sharing in the BCS.  Regular season determines who the TOP TWO teams are at the end of the year.  OK St. lost to a three TD underdog at home and that costs them theopportunity to play for the title.  LSU would have killed that offense, just like they did Oregon and Arkansas, they are very similar. Head to head, LSU and Bama match up in a dominant football fight of defense.  If Alabama had lost at home to Vanderbilt, they too would not have any argument to play for the title, however they remain "undefeated in regulation" much like LSU did a few years ago, and lost a close game yet statistically they still beat LSU.  Moral victories however are for losers, and the score is what counts, so now the slate is wiped clean, and two contenders will go into it for all the marbles.  Every who wants it most will win it, there is no sharing.  Neither team wants that.  In the NFL you may play a team and beat them in the regular season and lose to them in the Super Boal. Life is not fair, but it is how you finish the season that counts.

Seems like this all-SEC championship may finally be the event that starts the wheels turning to ditch the ridiculous BCS system and move us toward a more rational (and entertaining!) postseason for college football.  Mike Slive floated the idea of a plus-one in 2008 and was shot down by every conference except the ACC, but now thanks to Bama-LSU Part II it seems like more conferences may be ready to talk about the possibility.  And even though just a simple four-team playoff would leave the current bowl structure basically intact, the bowls are 100% against it because they know it would be so popular that calls for a true playoff would get even louder.  Here's hoping for a plus-one.

According to sources, it will be at least two more seasons before any changes can be made, due to contracts.  A plus one might work, but there will still be people complaining, and wanting a plus two or 8 team playoff, then those who are 9 and 10th at the end of the season will complain.

The system worked this year as it was supposed to work, and it is pitting the two best teams (on paper) and by record in the game.  Boise State will get their chance in the next few years since they are finally joining a conference which will gurantee admittance if they win like they have been doing, however it will require them to play more foes than what they have seen.  LSU's demolishment of Georgia hurt them. Virigina Tech skated by to a BCS bowl despite being waxed by Clemson, of course no one mentions these things. Okie State is complaining, yet the week before he says Alabama deserved to be #2, hurting his own chances for the bid.

I am not so sure why everyone is so worked up over it myself.  Alabama remains unbeaten in "regulation time", just like LSU a few years ago....go figure...haha

I would not be so fast to say Boise will now get their chance.  I am sure that is what precipitated the move, but there is serious discussion about the Big East losing their automatic qualifier status.   Which is just desserts in my opinion, considering AQ conferences were the brainchild of former Big East Commish Mike Trangissi (sp?)
