Lights Out Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Well.... at least Georgia waited a half before rolling over. Congrats, LSU... you've earned it. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'm not much of a Rick Reilly fan but I think this not only makes a decent case against a rematch, it also nicely sums up the SEC "advocacy" we're occasionally subjected to around here...There shouldn't be one (LSU-Alabama rematch) because it makes the BCS honchos liars. This is their Twitter handle: @EveryGameCounts. But how can every game count if it doesn't matter who won the first one?If you remember, LSU won the first game -- which resembled hippos taking a mud bath -- 9-6 (in OT, no less), in Tuscaloosa. Didn't hurt the Tide any. They're going to get a mulligan if we don't stop it. You have to figure, too, that, if Alabama had won, then LSU would only have one loss and the Tigers would get the redo. This is because, apparently, no conference can really play football in this country except the SEC, which invented the sport in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider that there's FOUR teams that haven't lost to non-SEC teams. All four have legitimate claims to a shot at the national title. I wouldn't think that the champ of a second-tier conference (like an Oregon or a VT or an Oklahoma State) has an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ok, now that LSU did what they had to, It's really up to OSU to do what they need to do. That said, I'd almost be willing to put money on it that Okie State gets rolled tonight, and rolled HARD. I'm taking Oklahoma by at least three touchdowns.

I think the Sooners win easily.In other news...Another one of the mid-major conferences (after the SEC, aren't they all mid-majors? ) is about to begin play in their first ever conference championship game. I think Wisconsin gets a little revenge tonight and punches their ticket to Pasadena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Not that I'm arguing for an Alabama-LSU rematch, but....Why is it perfectly acceptable for rematches to occur in conference title games, but not for the National Championship? How come there's no uproar about there being a Virginia Tech-Clemson rematch for the ACC Championship or a Wisconsin-Michigan State rematch for the Big Ten Championship...but a big uproar for a possible LSU-Alabama rematch? Aren't their first meetings pretty much meaningless now, too?To me, it makes no sense to argue against seeing rematches when we're already seeing them decide conference championships.

Aren't their first meetings pretty much meaningless now, too?To me, it makes no sense to argue against seeing rematches when we're already seeing them decide conference championships.Conference championships are part of a pre-arranged playoff system whose requirements are simple and known before the season, and more importantly, played between two participants that are proven to be the best (eligible-glances at USC and their postseason ban) in their respective divisions by virtue of a round robin. There is much less uncertainty at work in those games' participants than in a MNC.

Lights Out Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Well, I wish Boise could have played one of the better MWC teams on Senior Day, but still, it's good to see the most successful senior class in Boise State history go out with a win! Hopefully they can put the cherry on top with a BCS bowl. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
