Blah, blah, blah. Bleat, bleat, bleat.
STUPID fucking argument.
We already KNOW LSU can beat Alabama. The rest is irrelevant. We don't KNOW how they'd fare against the rest. It's not a matter of being "less" you fucking goat fucking doughnut dumpster.
The purpose of the BCS system is to put the two best teams, as determined by the BCS system, in the championship game. Make up whatever rule or stipulation that doesn't exist that you like. The fact that LSU beat Alabama doesn't change the fact that, with that said, Alabama can STILL be the second best team in the country at the end of the season. That's what this situation comes down to. It just so happens that the only team Alabama lost to is the only team that is better than them. If we were talking about who should be #1, LSU obviously would, and has won that argument. The BCS isn't trying to rank Alabama #1. There is no stipulation saying that if a team loses to another team during the regular season, that those teams cannot play again in the NCG. Even if we had a playoff system, these two teams could (probably would) meet somewhere in the bracketology at some point, as would be the case with numerous other teams that played each other during the regular season.
If LSU loses to UGA and only slides to #2, how angry are you going to be? You won't give a shit. All it boils down to is that you do not want to see Alabama play in the NCG. The fact that you would rather see Houston in it before Bama is a great example of that.
LSU beat Alabama. That does not mean Alabama can't be the second best in the country. I don't understand why that is so difficult.
