LSU winning at Alabama 9-6 in what was labeled "The Game of the Century", with everyone knowing that the winner would have the clear inside track to the NC game. Loser would be out of it was the conventional wisdom.

OR...

Bama beating LSU 21-0 (5 FGs, 1 TD and a missed PAT) in a rematch, in the BCS Title game in the Superdome. Winner gets Crystal Ball.

I think both are equally impressive, for different reasons of course. Just sucks there can't be a 3rd game in the series to settle it once and for all.

I add the last line because that was undoubtedly the funniest (albeit unintentional comedy) slogan I saw on T Shirts in Nola for the BCS game. Bama fans actually wore shirts saying something to the effect of "let's settle this once and for all". That shirt would make a lot more sense if the 2 teams played one more time this season, with it being 1-1 right now.

Completely shutting LSU out in the game that really mattered in the Superdome and only allowing them to cross the 50 yard line once.

Bama embarrassing lsu in the Natty is way more impressive than a fluke 3 point win.

Neither.

Auburn beating USCe in Columbia. No one knows how that happened, except for Stephen Garcia.

First game showed teams were pretty even talent wise. Second game showed with equal talent a very good football coach can kick an average football coach's arse by making adjustments

Not sure if this is true, considering Les said he would "honored" to play UA again. So people were talking about a potential rematch RIGHT after the game ended. The dominoes just needed to fall.

I forget who said this, but it's absolutely true:

After the Nov. 5th game Alabama was begging for a rematch with LSU, after the last game do you really think LSU wants to play Alabama again?

21-0 > 9-6.

The majority of the country felt like Alabama gave that one away. Shutting an opponent like LSU out in New Orleans....that says a lot. Everything was on the line in that game.

21-0, I mean, Alabama totally dominated on D that day and made LSU look absolutely horrible.
