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.

While I would be the last to dog your argument as an LSU fan you can't crawfish on this point.....LSU fans as a whole, from what I saw, said before the game that it was going to be a pro LSU environment (which I actually agree with)....but now we can't crawfish and say it was neutral just because we lost.

Well, both were wins which is obviously the most important thing.

After that when trying to determine which win was more impressive, you really have to look at the stakes, the scores, and the stats. I think the Alabama win clearly gets the "most impressive" nod in all three of those categories. It doesn't seem like much of a debate really.

Um...no. The most important regular season games turned out to be the losses by OSU, Stanford, and possibly Oregon. LSU beat Alabama by a field goal in overtime in Tuscaloosa. Alabama had non-consensual sex in LSU's arse and mouth in Baton Rouge, which is only a "neutral field" for LSU if your concept of "neutral field" is the same as your concept of "objective."

Everyone claimed it was going to be an LSU home game. I still LOL about that
