That was the most pathetic MNC game I've ever seen. Alabama dominated in every aspect of the game. Just shit all over LSU.

Did Les Miles vote Bama #2?

LSU accomplished so much during the regular season including beating Bama on the road. They didn't deserve a rematch. Their players cheering when Bama was selected makes me laugh. They were obviously going to cheer for whomever, but you KNOW they were pissed.

What's really funny is how the BCS folks are like, "we can't do playoffs because it makes the regular season irrelevant" ... Then they go an ignore the results of regular season games.

Oh well. If they don't get to at least a final 4 / +1 format during this negotiation cycle, there's no hope.

Alabama-LSU produces lowest TV rating for national championship in BCS era | al.com

NEW ORLEANS -- Alabama loved a rematch. Not so much of the rest of the country.

It turns out most television viewers didn't want to see Alabama-LSU again, at least not an uncompetitive rematch.

Overnight ratings for Alabama's 21-0 victory over LSU were the lowest for a national championship in the 14-year history of the BCS. The All-SEC affair, the first championship pairing teams from the same conference, drew a 13.8 overnight rating on ESPN. The previous record low was a 14.3 for Miami-Nebraska at the 2002 Rose Bowl.

To put last night's rating in perspective, Alabama-LSU on Nov. 5 drew an 11.5 on CBS. Last night's game was down 14 percent from Auburn's three-point victory over Oregon last year. It was down 24 percent from Alabama's last national championship when the Crimson Tide defeated Texas in 2010.
