j/k. Bama definitely deserved the title because they took advantage of their opportunity. I still have serious reservations about the philosophy of favoring who had the better loss and opposed to who went out and had the better wins in terms of who to put in that game, but they obviously were as deserving as just about anyone and had a good argument to be there.

Well hell. Look we took some beatings at the hands of LSU during our darkest times. And if we're being honest LSU is definitely our most relevant--if not most hated--rival.

At least until Auburn beats us again. Which hopefully won't be for another 10 years.

One can dream.

But as to Bama/LSU, if you go back to 2008--you know, the year we were "national championship contender" level, they have virtually all been epic.

I think the NC game was an off night for LSU. I think there was a little bit of "inevitability" creeping into the mindset of LSU, the way they had been winning. But the warning signs were there--LSU needing that "spark" in the SECCG, for example. What happens if that "spark" never comes? It didn't that night.

I was surprised as much as the next guy how that game went down, given how every other game went down over the past five or so years.
