Does the nation discount an LSU championship if they play Alabama?

no, the winner of the bcscg is the champion

Haters will hate regardless. Let's just take care of our business and let everything else work itself out.

Nobody really believes Okie State can beat LSU.

Nobody.

Okie State won't even beat Oklahoma.

No. Some will discount it a bit if Bama wins it after losing to LSU in the regular season, but that sentiment will fade fairly quickly for all but a portion of LSU and Auburn fans.

Gonna be the first time in six years that the SEC Champions lost the crystal ball.

there is an offical rematch thread stickied at the top of the page. Why does everyone feel their "original" thought deserves to have its own thread instead of being in that ALREADY created official thread?

I have not seen this angle discussed whatsoever, and I prefer to keep it out of the bitch-fest that is stickied.

I am asking is a 14-0 LSU team that beat another conference winner, perhaps VT or OSU, have a better perception than a 14-0 LSU team that beat Alabama twice?

I would prefer to beat Bama twice, because I would rather have the nation bitch about the rematch than suffer through Bama fans bitching about LSU not playing the true #2 team.

who cares? we get another crystal ball after an undefeated season. once again there will be no doubt on whether LSU belongs in the game.

Even if some of the media doesn't want to see a rematch pretty much everyone agrees that LSU/Bama are the top teams in the nation. Isn't that the ultimate goal of the BCS? to pit the two top teams against each other.

Also Colin Cowherd made a good point on a possible rematch...wondering why "college guys" are against a rematch. He said: was anybody complaining when the Patriots had to beat the Giants on the road in 2007 to close their perfect season and then have to turn around and beat them again in the Super Bowl, only to lose in a very close game? The answer is no. Why? There was a playoff...Well, if there was a playoff, don't you think there would be a very good chance LSU/Bama play again. The bottom line is, yes it's not a perfect system and does devalue LSU's win, but so would a playoff.
There is no perfect solution to what has happened this season.

The only "fair" thing to do, would be for LSU not to even have to play in a championship game. Just declare them them the champs after the SEC championship game...But that's not going to happen so the only logical thing left to do is let the best two teams go at it again....If LSU can win that game, it will be historic and will go down as one of the greatest teams in CFB history.

Toward the BCS....yes. Toward LSU....no. I think most people think LSU is the only proven team in the nation. Who has Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia Tech, or OSU beat? no one.
