I can absolutely understand why LSU fans hated and still hate it. We would have hated it if the roles had been reversed, for sure. But none of that means Bama didn’t deserve it.
Deserving and earning are two different things, and they didn't earn it. Were they one of the best two teams in the country that year? Absolutely. But they lost the one that was supposed to matter. You should have to win your conference.
Maybe that's not the way it should work, but it's the way it worked until that year, and it was BS.
Also, had we not played Oregon that year, they'd have been a one loss PAC 12 champ that would absolutely go to the Natty. And we'd have whooped their asses. But that's the if game that LSU fans have been forced to play ever since.
It's not a fun game.

2001 Nebraska and 2003 Oklahoma both made it to the big dance without winning their conference. And, like 2011 Alabama, 2001 Nebraska didn't even win their division. So there was precedent.

Exhibit B. LSU fan admitting that Alabama was one of the two best teams...which was the purpose of the BCS from day one.
Exhibit C: the notion that "earn" and "deserve" don't mean the same thing.
Seriously, the terminal pussification and stupidity of LSU fans on this topic is something from which they will never recover...to this day they continue to resort to moronic mental gymnastics to attempt to justify their condition.
