Because unfortunately college football doesn't have a playoff system therefore seeding doesn't apply.
It's not a question of seeding or it being a playoff system, it's a question of rewarding the supposed "best" team, or the one that puts together the best regular season. The classic way to handle this is to reward them with an easier road to the championship.

The BCS is a broken system, so there is no such thing as getting the 1-2 teams to play. Need a playoff system.
The reason I don't want to see a rematch is this. If LSU wins, so what? We already saw that. If Bama wins, then they are 1-1. Bama would get the trophy, although LSU won on the road against Bama which is really a better win.

lol, its not a ridiculous argument at all.
Bama had their chance, at home no less, and blew it.
End of story.
A rematch in the title game completely discredits anyone who has ever tried to defend the BCS system with the (false) notion that the college football season is one long playoff.

Regular season is the playoffs. Bama lost, get over it.

Do you mean throwing the ball on 2nd and 10?
Yes.

It may be very likely in regulation, not in FG range when you don't have Richardson, Lacy or Fowler but it's not a given in Saban's offense in OT when you know you need to score something
When you've been shut down to the tune of 96 yards rushing and your kicker can't make a 40+ yard FG, passing on 2nd and 10 from the 25 seems a really likely play call, even for Saban. You do realize that Alabama had basically a 50/50 run/pass ratio in the game, right? I think that's considerably more passing than Saban usually likes to do. He did it because he had to, because we made him do it by shutting down your running game.
quote:
It was more like you didn't have to throw because all you had to do was run it enough to get lined up for a FG. That's the beauty of winning the coin toss and playing defense first.
...and stopping the opponent without a score.

Bama has a better percentage of winning OT when they win the coin toss if I'm not mistaken
I don't know which OT games Bama won or lost the toss. I know that when Saban was at LSU, his three overtime wins all came when we had the ball first.

I believe that the coaches and harris poll voters will have a choice at 11PM on Dec 3rd. Rematch or No Rematch. If 2006 is to be a guide, OSU (assuming they beat OU) is likely in. (See Michigan a-la 2006)

Now that is a word picture if ever I saw one. The key to effective writing that persuades and informs.

Nope. 2nd and 10 isn't necessarily a throwing down for the reasons I stated. In fact I can't tell you how many times I've griped that Saban would waste a 1st down by throwing it and then leave us behind the sticks only to run the ball on 2nd and 3rd. If I've griped about it once it's been a million times.

Not really. Saban has always like balance and we've been balanced for a few years now. In fact it's eerie how close the pass/run ratio has been.
It wasn't forced. Saban wasn't thinking FG at that point. He wanted a TD because he thought he could hold LSU out of the end zone. Look at the times LSU got close and couldn't punch it in. They got down to the 2 in regulation and the 7 in OT.
I would have played a run on first even if it didn't get positive yardage and tried to keep the ball in the middle of the field in case I needed a FG as a plan B. But I don't get to make 4 mil for making the calls.

That helps.

It "ain't" worked out that way at Bama.

My god when will these dumbass Alabama fans STFU? If there is one reason to oppose a rematch it's the fact we'll have to listen to these idiots for the next month.

With a month to prepare for a game in New Orleans we'd beat Bama by at least 10 points and they are easily the 2nd best team in the nation. But what's the point of playing them again? They'll just have another excuse as to why they lost.
Posted on 11/22/11 at 5:32 pm to Govt Tide
The main difference would be home field advantage...which vegas assigns a premium for. I want to say its either 4 or 6 pts on average. So therefore, if we lost by 3, that would mean that based on the above logic, we would be at least equal on a neutral field.
Once again, bama lost, at home...What do you idiots not understand?

So by your logic Okie State could lose to Oklahoma, Va Tech could lose again, Stanford could lose to Notre Dame and Alabama STILL doesn't deserve to be #2 because it lost to #1 by a field goal in OT? Who the f### are you going to put in the BCS title game against LSU then? Let me guess....Houston. After all, they did win the always brutal Conference USA.
