re: ULTIMATE LSU-BAMA Rematch Discussion Thread (ALL POSTS HERE)

Forgive me if it has already been posted here, but I haven't read the entire thread just yet.

All the talk of a rematch, I just have one question. Prior to last season, the 2010 season, there was much talk before the season about Alabama/Florida, and the possibility of a 3rd straight SECCG matchup. They had not played in the regular season, and met in Atlanta in '08 and '09. And I heard people on both sides agree that if both teams somehow managed to get to that game, and if it was going to be a split with each team winning one of the games, you'd much rather win the 2nd game, the one that counted. Not saying that the regular season doesn't count, but the idea was that if Florida lost in Tuscaloosa, yet beat them in Atlanta, they're rightfully the SEC champs.

To me, this whole idea of a BCS rematch is very similar. Not identical since it is obviously for the BCS-NC and not the SEC, but I feel the same way about it. If you lose the first game, you know you're probably out of the hunt for the conference but still have an outside shot at the BCS.
