your post is invalidated

How is going 12-1, winning the ACC (a BCS conference), along with having to play in and win the championship game, not valid?

I can understand you think one team or conference is better than others. The ACC isn't a mid-major conference, despite being down a lot recently; and while the championship games are meant to make money, they're also supposed to give the winner a boost. You play another reasonably tough opponent.

the ACC and Big East rotate for worst BCS conference. this year the BE is last, but a few years ago it was the ACC. the ACC fricking sucks, and i mean SUCKS

LSU doesn't have to participate in BCS, even after it is the only reason you were able to get to the title game in 03 and especially 07, if the system is now so flawed.

Just so I'm clear: if there was no rematch, I'm confident both LSU and Alabama would beat any opponent by at least 3 TDs. That's my opinion, but I would definitely put money down to back it up depending on the lines.

My question is: why would any of the other conferences continue to stay in the BCS if they have a champion with equal or better record than Alabama, who's done until the bowls, and has no trophy to show for the year? How is this setup beneficial for them?

Virginia Tech is not a great team, but they could probably win the SEC East this year. Oklahoma St is basically Arkansas playing weak defenses. I get that.

We're not big into basketball. Nonetheless I was still yelling "bullshite" when LSU won the SEC and got an 8 seed, and half the Big East and ACC were seeded ahead of us. Our argument at the time was that we won a major conference; and seeing that we gave UNC their best contest of the tourney, that point held up.
