No matter how you attempt to frame it, they are not the same. UGA and Auburn played their way to the SECCG, each representing their respective divisions. The fact that they played each other earlier in the season is not relevant. That was a matter of cross-division scheduling. They would have played regardless. Bama did not win their division much less their conference and yet they got a chance for a re-match in the NCG. Actually openly begged for it. It rendered the regular season matchup (9-6) meaningless. The better argument to make is they were the second best team in the country. That is an argument that actually has some validity. Comparing the UGA-Auburn situation is ludicrous.

And Bama played their way to the NC game also. They were selected. SEC rules dictated LSU play a final game, and luckily you did, because at least you have something to show for the season. Also, are you suggesting Bama wasn't the second best team? They won 21-0 against a team most LSU fans think was one of their best ever!!! Who else should have played? Do you wish for a lower skilled/quality opponent just so you can call yourself a champion without actually being one? Sometimes the two best teams reside in the same conference.
