The system, BCS, is to allow the top 2 teams in the nation to play for the national championship. And even though LSU did beat Alabama in the regular season, no other team has shown that they are better than Alabama. So therefore, Alabama is still considered the 2nd best team in the nation.
The other teams did have a chance to be one of the top two teams but they all got beat by lesser teams. Alabama has only been beaten by the top team in the nation.

I've never said I would want to play LSU again had we won, I wouldn't. That doesn't change the fact that it would happen and my "want" would be irrelevant. The BCS is about getting the top two teams in the country on the field, doesn't matter if they've already played, what conference, what might be fair to one team, etc. Just about the top two.

Read this as, sure it isn't fair and doesn't make sense, but it is Bama so the unfairness is excused in this one instance.
Not picking on you, but you have to admit that this makes absolutely no sense. It cannot be justified so you rightly have to say it isn't fair and life isn't either. The voters may choose to make it fair by hopping Alabama. That is a real concern and I think the part of this that makes the rematch scenario the most problematic for voters. They may have their decision made for them if OSU loses, but if OSU is hanging out there, I think it is a real concern for Bama re: rematch.

Pats/Giants does not apply. The Giants went through a vetting process called the playoffs to EARN their way in to the SB. They didn't fall arse-backwards into it like bammer.
And, LSU fans being labeled "self centered" by a fan base who supports a teaam that invented 7 championships is laughable. Oh, hey, does Esso still put out college football poll? Maybe you can claim that championship if you don't make it to N.O.

But let's not pretend that the "you already lost to Bama" arguement wouldn't exist if the shoe were on the other foot right now.
I don't deny that it would be there I just wonder if Alabama fans would argue as ferociously against a rematch. Bama fans can play that game and turn it around on LSU fans too. In fact, I believe LSU would be EXACTLY where Alabama is now (#2) if they lost 9-6 to Alabama on Nov 5th.
That may be the better question. Do LSU fans honestly think that they wouldn't be in Alabama's current position if they had LOST 9-6 on Nov 5th??? I'm convinced you'd be #2 right now if the game had gone that way.

Would you feel differently if Michael Ford hadn't stepped out and we won 13-6?

The primary objective of the BCS, the reason it exists, is to match up the two best teams in college football for a final NC game.
The one year this might actually occur and it is bcs chaos... a melt down. The irony is thick.

That,LSU would do it too

No, read this as, who deserves to play for a NC ahead of Bama?
We don't have a playoff.
I was vocal about not thinking we should get a rematch. But then everybody ahead of us that had a case shite the bed.
NOW it wouldn't be fair to BAMA to let a shite team play for the title just because LSU has beaten them once. One loss teams make it to the NC all the time. Why is it better for that one loss team to have lost to a lesser team than the #1 team in the country?

Of course they would,at least the Alabama posters on the SEC Rant would.
BTW, I think Alabama is the #2 team. But if the shoe were on the other foot LSU fans here would never hear the end of wanting a rematch against a team that had already beaten us.

Your argument is just as pointless as the one I just posed. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen. No rule to prevent a 2 loss team from playing for it all, just as there is no rule requiring you be a conference champ to play for it all.
It is just a weird year, dude. You know that had LSU lost in T-town and then found themselves in Bama's position you'd agree that Bama & LSU are the two best teams and you'd be adamant about a rematch

Not at all, it would still be a 1 score loss in overtime to the #1 team. I wouldn't feel any differently right now if Alabama would have won by a touchdown on Nov 5th either as there is no possible way that LSU wouldn't be #2 right now given the upsets the last 2 weeks.

You're a bit slow huh? I stated the BCS is set up to match 1vs2, the same every year. Nothing to do with Bama and LSU. This year will be no different, that is 100% guaranteed, the 1 and 2 will be the teams playing. If it is not Bama, so be it.

There would be some, but not as many as there are LSU fans. The truth is, a lot of LSU fans have an inferiority complex and were ecstatic that they had finally one up-ed Bama. Now, they're afraid Bama might take it back.
Not all of you are that way, but you know that it's true about many of these Rantards.

Can two teams from the same division in the NFL play in the Superbowl?
In a playoff system it is one and done
So you think it is fair for LSU to have to play you twice, beat you twice- play an extra game in the SEC championship, win the west, win the SEC
all the while gumps sit at home and watch tv?
