Honest, serious question for LSU fans: Why is losing to the #1 team in the middle of the regular season an automatic disqualifier for the #2 spot at the end of the regular season?
According to Rick Reilly, the ONLY team you can lose to that disqualifies you from any consideration for the BCS Title game is the #1 team. A team could lose to NW Montana Tech or SE North Dakota Tech or Prairie View and still be qualified for the #2 position at season's end while a loss to the other BCS Title game participant is unforgivable. Think about how insane that logic is.

Why play a game where the outcome has already occurred?

C'mon guys. I am fairly sure everyone understands his point regardless of your personal belief. You are choosing not to understand because his opinion differs from your opinion. At this point there is only one fact regarding rankings and that LSU and UH are the only undefeated FBS schools.

Since when do we measure teams by quality of losses?
Let me preface this by saying that I could care less who we play in NO.
If Okie State, Bama, Va Tech, and LSU where all undefeated, we would rank them by their wins.
Provided Okie State, Va Tech, and LSU win this weekend it would look like this:
1)LSU
2)Okie State
3)Bama
4)Va Tech
You never ask "Who'd you lose to" first, it's always "Who'd you beat".
