Alabama didn't deserve to play LSU
Who deserved it over the team that held the #2 ranking for the last 3 weeks of the year and beat every opponent on their schedule by double digits?
The Oklahoma State team that lost to 6-6 Iowa State in week 12, who would have had to jump from #5 to #2 to get into the game?
Oh. Okay.

But can you concede it seems illogical, and is very hard for an lsu fan to swallow, that by winning the so called "game of the century" on the road meant nothing. Actually, it meant we had to win an extra game. Winning that game for LSU was a negative in two ways: had to play an extra game, and then had to play a team you had already beaten in a dogfight

Anyone with half a brain knows Bama deserved to be in the NC against LSU. They were the the 2 heavyweights. Most that say different are disgruntled Bama handed us our arse. Hats off to Saban and Bama...they were prepared, we weren't!

It doesn't matter what LSU or Miles would have done on that day. No one and I mean no one short of BB is gonna beat Saban twice in one season...not with the type of talent he had. The reason it's a such a bitter pill for LSU fans is that it was the first time two teams who had played in the regular season wound up playing in the championship game.
LSU beats any other team in the nation easily and as Miles as pointed out, both he and the team never even considered having to play Bama a second time. Miles has even said that if he had to do it over again he would have lobbied both publicly and privately to put Okie St into that game. However he never fathomed he would need to.
In addition, LSU has to play a SEC championship game while Bama sits on their asses at the house. The entire situation was bogus in the end.
