The argument is correct that lsu has earned the right to play in the championship. But 1/9 is the championship game. It is funny that lsu fans believe they have won the right to end the season with two games left. Bottom line I agree lsu has had one of the great seasons of all time, but to crown lsu at this poinf is crazy.

I am not sure why some LSU fans would demand half of NC even if LSU lost to Bama in the BCSCG. Isn't this what the BCSCG for: deciding who is the best team in the country? You play 12~13 games to earn the right to play the other best team in the country to determine who is truly the best. The rest is irrelevant, rematch or not.

From another perspective: 12 of the past 45 Super Bowls are rematches of the regular season. Teams winning the regular season matchup hold a combined record of 5-7 (1-5 since 1990) in a Super Bowl rematch. If you remember the last one in 2007-08 season, when the Pats won 18 consecutive games before SB, including week 17 regular season win over the Giants. I think it would be ridiculous for the Pats to "claim" half of the Super Bowl just because they already beat the Giants once in regular season. By the same token, it would be ridiculous for LSU to "claim" half of the BCSNC even if they lost to Bama in the rematch.
