What rubs Lsu fans the wrong way is the fact that the game of the century was supposed to tell who was going to the ship. Bama lost then started crying and begging for a rematch.
I think the "re-match" talk began in the national media the next day when the new BCS poll came out showing Alabama at #3 in the standings with a whole month left to play in the regular season. All that had to happen were a couple of upsets. And guess what, those upsets happened. Alabama didn't rank themselves at #2 at the end of the season. The computers, coaches, and media members all thought we deserved to be in that game.

Not one computer ha Bama 2. Not one. So the unbiased aspect of the vote had Bama NOT AT 2.

Like I said. After we made you cry in tuscaloosa y'all, including espn, started hyping a rematch and got what you wanted. Y'all made it to the game based on stats from playing an easy schedule. How can you say y'all didn't have anything to do with the rankings when saban ranked ok state 4th in the coaches poll. Thats complete chicken shite.
