    Knowing that you have one of the two best teams in the nation should not make one apologetic. I've been quick and consistent in congratulating LSU on their Nov.5 victory. My attitude would suggest it ain't over, till it's over.

    BTW, if you still think the WORLD WANT THIS REMATCH, check out this link.

    There's still some hope of avoiding an LSU-Alabama rematch - baltimoresun.com

    The chances of an LSU-Alabama rematch are strong. The schools will no doubt hold their 1-2 positions Sunday in the next-to-last BCS standings.If you want an SEC conspiracy, try this: LSU probably gets to the BCS title game even if it loses to Georgia in the SEC title game. If Georgia wins, it goes to the Sugar Bowl with LSU-Alabama still in the title game.Back in 2006, SEC fans railed against a rematch after No.1 Ohio State defeated No. 2 Michigan in a late-November thriller.SEC zealots, led by Urban Meyer, campaigned against Michigan. "Florida belongs," the Gators' coach said then. "The other team had a shot."Naturally, it's a completely different sentiment when the rematch could feature two SEC teams.Is there anything to stop this?In 2006, BCS voters sided with Meyer and pushed Florida past Michigan by .9445 to .9344. Florida vindicated the decision by beating Ohio State for the BCS crown.There remains a chance voters will rise up again and prevent LSU-Alabama II.The SEC was 1-2-3 in last week's BCS, but Arkansas' loss Friday should move one-loss Oklahoma State into the No. 3 position.Oklahoma State is already No. 2 in the BCS computers and has a big statement opportunity next week against top-10 Oklahoma in Stillwater.If Oklahoma State wins, might voters do for Oklahoma State what they did for Florida five years ago?Oklahoma State would be the champion of what some would argue is college football's best conference this season.Jeff Sagarin, who operates one of six computers used in the BCS formula, has the Big 12 at No. 1 in his rankings, ahead of the SEC.Oklahoma State's only defeat was in triple overtime, at Iowa State, on the day the team learned of the plane crash that killed its women's basketball coach and top assistant. If any team in BCS history deserves a mulligan, it's the Cowboys.Iowa State was a bad loss, but no worse than Florida losing at home in 2008 to Mississippi. That didn't stop voters from ushering Florida back to the title game.If Oklahoma State loses next week, though, LSU-Alabama might be the only option left.However, before we get there all other options must be exhausted.What about Virginia Tech, if it wins the ACC by avenging its only loss to Clemson?Stanford, Oregon, Houston, Boise State … is anybody out there listening?Brad said that if VT and OSU both win it helps Bama If OSU loses and VT wins it helps BamaIf OSU wins with the #2 ranking right now in the computers Bama would have to worry only if VT would lose to Clemson.

    So it's what our guy has been saying all along. OKST wins, and VT loses, and Bama is on the edge of a sugar bowl.

    How can you claim to be the best if you win this one and the series is tied 1-1?

    Another reason a rematch should not happen, cause me and every other non-Bama fan will want to see game 3 to make that determination

    No rematch! Bama had their shot and got beat at home, done!

    How can a Bama fan claim to be the best if they win the NC game? With as much pomp and circumstances as humanly possible.

    I don't have any righteous reasons for no rematch.
    It has nothing to do with okie's right to play.
    It has nothing to do with being scared to lose.
    It IS because bama making the championship game would make gumps happy. I don't want to see this. I want to see the gump meltdown. I want to see more pics of gump sissyboys crying. I want to see them turning over cars and burning tires in the streets. I want to hear lil old gump ladies crying on radio talk shows. I want to hear au fans laughing at gump pain. I want gump children to weep and gump Christmas to be cancelled. I want to be the purple and gold grinch that stole all the hopes and dreams of an entire state. I simply want to point and laugh at gumps. Period.

    Well, there is the fact that Alabama has already LOST to this LSU team. When they lose again, there will be a lot of talk about a wasted matchup.
