re: If rematches are supposedly unfair...

then why bother having the SEC Championship if it is a rematch of a regular season game? We all know the real answer is to squeeze every last dollar the SEC can out of TV and fan bases but it seems rather amusing by those opposed to a rematch to say the 2nd best team in the country shouldn't play in the BCS because they lost to the #1 team during the season and are from the same conference so therefore Bama shouldn't get a shot at the BCS. It may seem unfair to LSU since they already beat Bama but if Alabama is really the 2nd best team in the country then how is it fair to Bama to deny them a ticket to the game?

Since 1999 5 SEC Championship games have been a rematch of a regular season game. In all 5 rematches the team that won in the regular season won again in the rematch. Still the winning team had to go out and win again against the team they had already beaten in order to secure an SEC championship.

Personally I believe it really doesn't matter who LSU plays. I don't see anyone beating them. They could play OSU and Bama back to back in the same night and beat both of them. LSU is that good and the scary thing is they are a young team. Wouldn't be surprised to see back to back to back BCS titles for the tigers.

The SEC Championship selection process is an OBJECTIVE method.

The BCS Championship selection process is in very large part SUBJECTIVE.

Comparing the two is asinine.
