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.

If the National Championship game is between 2 teams that didnt even win their conference....what more is needed to force a playoff system to be adopted and get rid of this scam?

I hope Georgia beats LSU. Bama and LSU play in the national championship game to a barn burning 12-9 game with 3-4 missed field goals with Bama winning. Georgia then getting crushed by someone outside of the SEC in a BCS game. That would be AWESOME! Then why don't we have all the past Heisman Trophy winners vote for who becomes National Champs. I think that would be the only fair way to settle it

If Georgia beats LSU, then either LSU or Alabama are out of the BCS bowls as you can't have more than 2 teams from 1 conference.

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.
