That's silly.

I think most LSU fans recognized that Alabama was the second best team. The justice in them playing in the BCSNCG is a separate question.

eta: LSU's opponent should have been Oklahoma State. Alabama's inclusion, IMO, violates the spirit of the BCS which holds that every regular season game is important. As it stands, it's as if the Nov. 5 game never happened.

Brockers said the only thing more difficult than going up against Alabama’s offensive line is trying to tackle Trent Richardson.

“After the (first) game, my neck was hurting, shoulders, everything,” Brockers said. “It’s like hitting a brick wall constantly. He gets the ball a lot, so you have to hit him a lot. You can’t know how solid he really is.

“We’ve got to get all 11 hats to the ball. You can’t take that dude down with one guy.”

Richardson rushed for 89 hard-earned yards on 23 carries in the first game against LSU and also caught five passes for 80 yards, but the Crimson Tide were stymied any time they moved inside the 30.

This time, Richardson said Alabama needs to “step on the throat."

But under your logic the nov 5 game counts but the osu loss to iowa st. does not? Yes every game counts. Our loss on nov 5th counts as does OSU's loss shortly thereafter.
