Jake, no disrespect either...I think you're kind of missing the point.
If the BCS has determined that Alabama is the 2nd best team this year, then the NC game seems completely pointless to me. LSU already beat Alabama in their house this year, so they have already proven it on the field. No need to play the game again. Sure, LSU may get beat...but what would THAT prove, exactly? This isn't baseball or basketball where we play a best-of 5 or 7 game series. Just crown LSU the champs now and let everyone else play their bowl games. Okie St's offense against LSU's D could have made a very interesting and entertaining BCS bowl matchup, but we won't get to see it. Instead it's another SEC West regular season game that has been labeled a National Championship.
THAT'S the point. This rematch completely undermines the reasoning behind college football not having a playoff. It destroys the argument that the college football regular season is in fact the playoff and is more important the regular seasons in the NFL, NBA, or NCAA basketball. It renders the regular season match up between these two teams meaningless and shows that winning the conference or even the division really isn't that important as long as you're a good team and get the media hype. So why even have conference championship games? All of the sudden, the house of cards that is the BCS comes tumbling down.
