What don't you understand? 2 very good teams played each other twice in the same season with each team winning one. And you say the 2 wins can't even be compared? Why not?
Dominating a team in the BCSCG (win by 21, shutout, cross the 50 once, less the 100 yards total offense, complete box score embarrassment)is clearly a more impressive win than a 3 point overtime win in a great closely contested game. LSU beat Alabama in a very important regular season game and then Alabama embarrassed LSU in the national championship game.

I agree with all of this.
I would just change "very important regular season game" to "the most important regular season game", and I would add LSU beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa whereas Bama beat LSU on a neutral field. Just trying to make the comparison fully complete and objective.
Highlighting the stats of the BCS game certainly helps argue the case for that one being more impressive, if stats are what one is into.

A game which Bama fans, LSU fans, & the national media all thought was an elimination game for the BCS title game. Everything had to fall right for Bama to get a rematch.
ETA: I'm referring to the 11/5 game in my comment.....perhaps a better question is how impressive would the 11/5 win look if OSU or another team gets the nod over Bama for the title game and Bama destroys an opponent in the Sugar Bowl?
