    Teams earn those rematches in a playoff scenario. Alabama earned nothing last season.

    I wanted that rematch b/c of LSU's unique chance at everlasting, historical GREATNESS. Kinda despite Bama's undeserving-ness(if that's a word).

    In the current BCS a non-conference champion can crawfish into the title game. See Bama 2011. In a playoff format those teams have to win their way in. I have a big problem with the former, but am ok with the latter.

    And that the two teams who played the least no. of ranked SEC teams are the ones in the SEC championship game.

    Got to keep that bama/tenn "rivlalry" going, no matter how much easier it makes bama's trip to the title game.

    We paid extra for an easier trip next season. It took a little overtime work, but the REC has managed to have four programs we play next year fire their coaches. It's a process—lived 365 days a year.

    I tried, to no avail, to get the coaching staff to take two games to overtime last year. In the end I feel okay now knowing I at least gave my best.

    Kudos on the use of the word "crawfish into the title game." It's not often people use correct terminology going back to the origin.

    Had it not been for Tennessee's defense, they would have been in the top 10 running also i think.
