National Championship Game LSU v Alabama

Last Sunday, the NCAA shocked the college football betting world, when it announced, that the BCS Allstate National Title Game, would be a rematch between SEC members LSU and Alabama. In the years leading up to this season, the NCAA had always prided itself on allowing the two best teams in the entire country to face one another, in the biggest game of the season. This year, as bookie software polls indicate, that isn’t exactly the case. Here is a preview of the National Championship game, which should appear similar to the first matchup between LSU and Alabama this season.

The National Title Game, will feature the only team to remain perfect this season in division one football, the Louisiana State Tigers, and the one loss second place team Alabama Crimson Tide. In one of the more bizarre National Title Finals, the Alabama Crimson Tide, were rewarded, for losing. That is to say, despite losing to LSU two months ago, and not playing in their own conferences Championship game, the Alabama Crimson Tide, single handily rewrote what the NCAA is supposed to stand for.

Essentially, in the 13 years, since the NCAA took on the BCS approach, the team’s that not only have the best record, but are the most dominant in their conferences are awarded the opportunity to play for the National Championship. Alabama meets neither of these conditions, as they weren’t the best team in their conference, and they didn’t own the best record. In reality, the LSU Tigers should be facing the Oklahoma State Cowboys, as despite sharing a similar record to Alabama, OKSU ran over Oklahoma in their Conference Championship game. For this reason, and the fact that LSU got better as the season progressed, we expect LSU to cap off a dream season, with another NFL victory over Alabama.
