Three items to note in this thread:
1. EVERY scenario involved LSU losing on 5 November. Every single one.
2. Huge Lolz at Florida being considered a contender.
3. UGA's still wicked pissed about 2007.

LSU had a legit schedule while Bama's was much weaker and weaker than the Big 12 contenders.

LSU would have lost on the road instead of a home game.

that everyone thought you would have to actually earn a rematch

UGA never could grasp 2007 and why they were left out. There was and is no rule that you are required to win your conference or division. That was NOT the reason they were left out. The voters looked at all the 2-loss contenders and made a determination based on their collective opinion that LSU was the No 2 team and most likely also determined that LSU was by far the most deserving two loss team based on their body of work, having crushed one of those two loss contenders (and the ACC champion that year) by 41 and having also just beaten the team that beat UGA to the SECCG that year. They accordingly moved LSU up to No 2 in the final polls. We killed it in the computers because of strength of schedule for good measure. Obviously, Ohio St deserved its shot being the only one loss BCS conf team.

Also, the 2006 Mich/Ohio St analogy was never a good one because Florida had an extra game to show that they were the most deserving one loss team based on their body of work. You can assign whatever thinking you want to the voters, but that is pure speculation.

People saying 0% are idiots. Now, is it less than 1%, probably. Say Alabama goes undefeated. LSU loses in triple overtime to Bama on the road then wins out. Oregon and WVU win their conference each with TWO losses. Everyone else in the country also has 2+ losses. In this nearly impossible scenario, someone name a team that would get in over LSU. Please just name one team that would get in over an 11-1 LSU. Sorry butthurt Georgia fans but this scenario would be completely different than 2007 (and 01 and 06 for that matter).


This one is funny in hindsight.

This was made by me on the day we beat Bama

Today's material started on Page 8, but I bumped it each week.

It was more and more denial each time.

Then, people just vanished out of thin air.

I couldn't pay people to comment on it.

But I also didn't forsee the real reason the rematch happened: ISU

But the complete refusal to acknowledge the possibility was just running rampant
