Won't have to worry about Bama being in the equation after this Saturday.

I'm almost begging for a rematch between Bama and LSU and Bama winning just so I can hear all of the LSU fans cry about how it's not fair that they split and how LSU won in Bama and had to play in the conference title game. I still do not understand why LSU would have to beat Bama twice to be champion but Bama only has to beat LSU once. Makes zero sense to me.

Which is why a playoff set up is a no brainer except to the NCAA

I have a feeling that if LSU beats Georgia, they are going to get a share of the title no matter what happens in the title game. The AP voters aren't contractually obligated to vote for Bama if they win the title game like the coaches are. I think they'd vote LSU due to the strength of their whole season and beating Bama in Bama.

this was the year when the gates finally were opened completely for Boise State to play for it, yet just like last year they missed a very short field goal against their only tough conference foe. Wouldn't have made the game last year, but certainly would have this year. OH well. I think LSU and Alabama are the two best teams without question, and I'm not sure why anyone would vote LSU number 1 if Bama beats them. It's not like the win by LSU was overwhelming by any stretch and if memory serves me, it was simply Alabama got a Boise State like field goal kicking performance which is why LSU won the game.

I dont really want to see the rematch, but there is no possible way I want to see OK St vs LSU. OK ST loss was a lot worst then Bamas and I think Bama would be 14 point or more favorite vs OK ST right now. Hopefully Oklahoma beats them and we dont have to worry about it.

The issue could be UGA, they are really hitting on all cylinders and their style is so different from everyone that LSU has beaten up on all year it might make for an interesting game. Not saying they take it but they have a shot to really screw things up.

ESPN reported that LSU is in the National Championship game period. Even if they get upset by Georgia.

Are you sure why anyone would vote Bama #1? Wouldn't they have split this year with LSU going into Bama's home field and beating them? How would Bama deserve it more? Maybe if Bama goes out and wins 27-7 or something. But a close win would tell me that the teams are just about equal and a split of the title would be appropriate.

HIghlight my last sentence instead of my second to last. I thought Alabama was better despite losing, it came down to 4 missed field goals to zero missed field goals that game. So yeah, LSU had better kickers than Bama and deserves the number 1 ranking. I just think the winner of the last game should be national champion. It's called the national championship game...sort of like I view the 2007-2008 NFL season, the Patriots went undefeated and beat the Giants in the regular season, but in the Super Bowl the Giants won and thus were the champions. I think the first game was played evenly enough that the second game should determine the champion. I think Bama would deserve it more because they won the game called the national championship game.

One things for sure, if we beat Oregon, beat Bama twice, beat Arkansas, beat Georgia, go undefeated, then we will be the undefeated, undisputed, national and BCS champs this year. Any other scenario leaves some room for speculation. I would forewarn GA and Bama that Les still has at least a couple dozen crazy ass plays he has been waiting to use all year.

...No, not really. It seems there is some denial about who the best two teams are in the country, and it is very clear. Now, we all know the system sucks. A playoff is the only thing that will fix it. What will be said when 4 of the final 8 teams left in the "playoffs" are from the SEC? It probably will happen more than not.

OK ST is garbage, omg. Im so sick of hearing about them, they get beat as a 30 point favorite, recently. Why are we even talking about them? I would rather see Va Tech vs LSU then OK ST.
