As much as I hate seeing a rematch, this is the system we have. Interesting question, would you guys rather go back to the old system of conference tie-ins to bowl games or the BCS to make sure at least #1 plays #2?
Even with all of its flaws, I'll take the BCS. If that had been the system in the 90's, we would have got to play Penn State in 1994 and Michigan in 1997. I know we take credit for those national championships - and rightfully so - but there is a little piece inside me that hates the fact that Penn State was also undefeated in 1994 and that we had to share with Michigan in 1997.

Great point. Its not the system that I want but its better than what we had. BYU fans are sure to disagree.
Truly not interested.
Must fight.. comment..
Personally, I not interested in the game and I have other things I can get done, like repainting the kitchen
I would rather watch a 7th grade football game then paint. just saying.
Doesn't make much difference to me. I'm not interested in seeing another "play not to lose" snooze fest. Maybe UA and LSU will call a wider range of offensive plays tonight and it will be an exciting game tonight. I'm not betting my time on that possibility.

Its funny how great defensive football is labeled "play not to lose". Don't remember LSU having too many problems scoring pts this season against the likes of Oregon, Arkansas, Georgia, etc....
The truth of the matter is both teams are loaded with NFL talent on defense and your not going to see a shootout. Great defense has a way of making play calling look bad. Give credit where credit is due.
The ironic thing about this is with, I think it was 4 weeks left of the football season, while the undefeated teams were LSU, OSU, Stanford, and I think one other team (Boise St, maybe) with Oregon, Bama and OU the closest 1 loss teams, there were threads full of posts saying how many wanted all these teams to loose a game to "show how messed up" the system was as if we didn't already express that without out it. The follow couple weeks we were down to one undefeated team in LSU with the team they had beat on the road (Bama) ranked just behind them.
Now all of a sudden everyone is crying about LSU having to play Bama again. Well, this is what you wanted isn't it. To show the injustices of this system. I would have like to see undefeated LSU vs undefeated OSU over this rematch but it just didn't fall that way. Hell, I would have love to see a B1G Conference champ Nebraska play Oregon in the Rose Bowl, but it just didn't fall that way.
We are heading into a long offseason. I'm not sure how many follow recruiting but I do. I see it just as exciting to follow as the bowl season, personally. Plus later this year the Olympics are back so that gives me something else to look forward to (I'm a track and field guy).
Honestly, this "match up" doesn't excite me (if I was to watch another rematch I would rather see a great offense involved, like Oregon vs LSU). But I am a big fan of college football so I'll be watching. I'm also a casual fan of the Tigers and I'm hoping the beat Bama by 14+. It is what it is though. SEC gets another year of bragging rights. If the nation is tired of it, then beat them.
