    Yous got edumcated. You aint from them parts, is ya? :)

    But seriously, I think Bama nation will be in full meltdown if you lose to LSU 3 times in 13 months with the 4th one coming up next year.

    I have a weird theory that a team is better off going to a lower bowl and winning than going to a better bowl and losing. There are plenty of examples where a bowl win helps a team in its pre-season rankings, and seems to propel them into the start of a good year.
    And there are many who lose and seem to have trouble shaking it off.

    Nah, I gotta go with Bama on this one. Go for the gold because when you go for the Sugar, you might lose to Utah. ;)

    You had your shot. The better team won. In the BCS, the regular season is supposed to mean each game is a playoff. You lost. You should be out. I'm not even sure you'd beat Ok. State or Stanford. You've only beaten what 4 teams with winning records??? Your big win is Penn St? You didnt win your division or conference? But deserve a shot ahead of a one loss team like Ok. State if they beat Ok? What a sense of entitlement.

    What comes after the game of the century? Do-over of the century?

    There are so many things wrong with Alabama getting a pass that you have blinders on if you can't see it.

    Fair or not, at this point I want to play them again. I would just love seeing my
    Tigers destroy Bama's title hopes and make all those pundits who say the better team lost on November 5th up.

    I would presume that only division and conference champions would advance in a playoff system.

    Bama lost the first round of the play offs. Does any bama really honestly believe that lsu would be given the rematch if we lost to bama? Lsu would be eliminated is they lost in november. Bama reminds me of a welfare queen with it's hand out.

    I would add that the CCG would again make no sense in it's present format, in a playoff situation. Otherwise, just more fool's gold.
