From what the guy on ESPN said LSU's body of work and the fact that they already beat them guarantees them a share no matter what.

All Alabama cares about is winning that game. If LSU does split the title with Alabama, I think LSU fans and their team are going to have that awkward feeling because that would have to be the first time that I can remember where a team lost their bowl game and still are considered champions.

This is why there needs to be a playoff of some sort. It removes all doubt.

Again, foward your concerns to Jim Delaney. He seems to be the main opponent of the playoffs.

Back in the day Alabama would have played Okie State and LSU would have played Stanford under the old bowl system. Then we would have been able separate Honey Badgers from the boys.

But the reason why they did the BCS was because of that 1997 debacle where both Michigan and Nebraska were No.1 and No.2 and clearly the best team in the country, yet they did not play each other. At least with the BCS you get No.1 vs. No.2

Sort of...

Here is a cliff notes version of how the BCS was born:

Prior to the BCS, there had been a history of split national championships or the top ranked schools not playing against each other during bowl season.

To address these problems, five conferences, six bowl games, and leading independent Notre Dame joined forces to create the Bowl Coalition, which was intended to force a de facto "national championship game" between the top two teams. By entirely excluding all the other conferences. This system was in place from the 1992 season through the 1994 season. While traditional tie-ins between conferences and bowls remained, a team would be released to play in another bowl if it was necessary to force a championship game. However, this system did not include the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions, as both were obligated to play in the Rose Bowl.

The Bowl Coalition was restructured into the Bowl Alliance for the 1995 season, involving five conferences (reduced to four for the 1996 season) and three bowls (Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange). The championship game rotated among these three bowls. It still did not, however, include the Pac-12 or Big Ten champions, the Rose Bowl, or any non-Bowl Alliance teams.

After a protracted round of negotiations, the Bowl Alliance was reformed into the Bowl Championship Series for the 1998 season. The Tournament of Roses Association agreed to release the Big Ten and Pac-10 champions if it was necessary to force a national championship game.

that's BS!!!!! The AP poll has ALWAYS taken into account what happens in the bowl games in their final polls. Not sure why folks wanna act as if the outcome of your bowl game shouldn't effect your FINAL ranking.

Good thing though, cause not for a second do I think LSU's team is buying that either. (as would ANY team playing in ANY national championship game) They are playing to win. Period. Not thinking about we got a share already wrapped up.

btw, let's not act as if the AP poll/title is the end all, be all. The BCS title is. And that title is won by winning the BCS title game.

I think LSU won't buy into that either. I actually think that they will put a memorable whipping on Bama but I can see where the AP voters are coming from. It will take chaos happening in order to bring some type of change to the flawed bsc system. LSU has played one of the most difficult schedules in recent memory, they won their conference, plus they beat Bama in their house. Bama had an easy road.
 
Re: LSU and Alabama Better Try to Bust the Scoreboard on each other for To Match Hype

ESPN and the rest of the sports media have already crowned LSU National Champion. The only way they would end up a Co-National Champion would be if Alabama blows them out. Then it will be LSU & Alabama as Co-National Champion. They won't give the National Championship by itself to Alabama.

I love it! They have beaten Bama sorry arse already. No team that can't win their divsion or conference should be the National Champs. Its call PECKING ORDER!

I can't. Without even looking, I feel confident in saying that there has NEVER been a year where a team LOST its last game of the year/bowl game and still won the national championship. NEVER.

That flimsy thinking is based on the crazy notion that its impossible for the 2 best teams to be in the same conference or same division.

This is my whole point though. What other competitive sports have this type of system. The way the champ is currently determined it leaves too many questions out there on the table.

I love the system. The entire season is a playoff, why change that? Do not reward the teams with the DO-OVER mentality a second chance with a "playoff". There is absolutely no sense in playing this game. LSU is undefeated (12-0)! The beat Bama at home. There is no reason to give them a 2nd chance in a winner take all. They are ranked #2 in the nation on "OPINIONS", LSU is the #1 team (ranking & reality) in the nation. No other team has a perfect record, so no other team should have a SHOT at the National Championship game, especially a team that LSU beat in divisional play already.

I think its great the AP voters have come to their senses and openly stated they will not vote Bama as their national champs no matter what. It is only right!

LSU beat Bama already. You get that? :retard:

yup

Now don't you understand that the BCS title is won at the BCS national championship game played at the end of the year. It is NOT played or won during the regular season. You get that? :retard:

The teams that play in the BCS national championship game are the ones that finish the highest. LSU finished first. Bama was 2nd. Therefore, LSU will play Bama for the title. You get that? :retard:

Nope and neither would any rational person.

I wonder is Da Sperm watching this Arkansas/Kansas State game....
 
Re: LSU and Alabama Better Try to Bust the Scoreboard on each other for To Match Hype

I'm from Arkansas and I hate the Razorbacks. I never bought into that concept that everybody, especially black people in the state, must be a Razorback fan. They still ain't .... to me and will never be ..... to me.
