I go back and forth with this. But ultimately, I do think it is a ridiculous concept that a team lost at home, and was rewarded by not having to play an extra game that the team that beat them had to play.

I think the selection committee got it right - LSU and Alabama were the two best teams in the nation.

However...if the shoe were on the other foot and LSU didn't go to the SECCG and Bama was undefeated, I truly don't believe LSU would have gotten a shot at the rematch. That's the only thing that didn't sit right with me. Maybe it's the LSU/little brother/victim card thing, but I don't think the Tigers would have been given the chance to "restore order."
