Does Alabama Deserve a Rematch???

Talk up the SEC as much as you want. Sure, maybe they are better than the BigXII, but I would much rather watch a BixXII game any day than whatever the heck that was last night. I'm just glad I had other games to switch to during the "best game ever".

I would compare this game to a pitching duel of two great pitchers. Both teams are held scoreless due to great pitching and defense, and you are just anticipating for one of the teams to slip up to finally get that first run. During the Alabama/LSU game you were left waiting for the big break that one of those teams needed. However the defenses were there to bail their teams out.
Anyone who was a fan of last night's game should NEVER complain about not liking soccer because "there's no scoring".
So I assume you want to see Houston in the championship?
I don't know why "excitement" is a factor in determining who gets to play in the championship.
Statements like this are funny. Since they are in the SEC, it's the great defense. If that were USC/Stanford it would be **** poor offense. The SEC isn't that good this year. Give me OkSt.
Can competent QB play be a factor? Because we did not see that last night. When there are guys like Luck, Moore and Weeden out there leading undefeated times, I'm not sure why people would want to see another LSU-Alabama game.
Remember, I said I do not want to see a rematch. But I'm just not sure what I want to see should be a factor in determining who actually plays in that game.
I think it's crazy that anyone would want to see a rematch of the BAMA-LSU game. Yes, both teams have great defenses. However, neither team has a particularly good offense. In fact, this problem is endemic to the SEC. The only teams to put more than 11 points on the board against LSU were non-SEC teams. WVU put up 463 passing yards against the Tigers, and they just lost and will lose their ranking. I think an OSU matchup would be interesting. A very powerful offense vs a very powerful defense and a very crappy defense vs a very crappy offense.
I just don't understand the assumption that these two SEC teams are the best in the nation. The big conference players simply don't play each other enough to reach that sort of conclusion. The BCS bowl games should be a showcase of cross conference play (it's just a shame this doesn't happen until the last game of the year). We should've learned this lesson from the tOSU and Michigan rematch discussion. I'm quite thankful it never took place.
If they lost this game on the road I might be ok with it depending on rest of season. You lose at home and no you don't get rematch. Bcs game yes championship game, no way.
Under the completely ridiculous system that we have, no. With a playoff, they would certainly get another chance.
I had to switch to the Okie State game I was so bored. No way do they deserve a rematch unless every other undefeated team gets beat. Those are 2 very good teams but I don't know what game people were watching if they think those are "clearly" the two best teams in the country. What I saw was a great a defense and a one dimensional offense. I'd love to see a Boise State or Okie State match-up with LSU.
Are you kidding me? Were you watching the same game that I was watching?? That was an incredible game!
No. The national championship should be between two undeafeated teams. I too am sick of the SEC love fest. Alabama had the game AT HOME and lost, end of story.
They probably do deserve a rematch, but there are other teams that deserve a shot at the title more than they deserve a second one.
Wait. Where did I even mention championship in my post? I seem to remember saying I'd rather watch a BigXII game than an SEC game.
