First of all, it really doesn't matter to me who faces LSU this year. They are a fine team and deserve to be playing for the title. That means a lot coming from me, a Gator fan. LSU has certainly shown the nation it is the team to beat.
That being said, I was somewhat hoping Oklahoma State would enter the BCS Championship Game — not out of disdain for Nick Saban or something as petty as that, but for closure at the end of the season.
What happens if Alabama wins by a field goal? Do they deserve to hoist the crystal trophy?
Should Alabama win, either Oklahoma State or Stanford (depending on who wins the Fiesta Bowl) will claim they deserve at least a share of the national title.
This could all have been avoided by splitting LSU and Alabama to play the aforementioned Oklahoma State and Standford, laying the typical SEC smackdown such teams have received in bowl games — does anyone remember Florida vs. Cincinnati in the 2010 Sugar Bowl?
Certainly an LSU win will put to rest any of these scenarios, finishing undefeated. Let us all hope that is the case... so we don't have to listen to all that whining.
