I know that there are some that say regardless of outcome Bama does not deserve championship due to previous loss. If things remain as they are, I believe that Bama proved they are the better team. No arguments please, just others thoughts.
Total domination by bama. Number one to me. Best defense i think ive ever seen
Congrats to Bama for winning an arbitrary game against a team the they already lost to, and have a worse record than. At the end of the season, the records look like this.
Alabama:
12-1 / 8-1 SEC / 1-1 Heads Up
LSU:
13-1 / 9-1 / 1-1 Heads Up
Not a tough decision to me. LSU is the National Champ. All this talk of "Domination" is hyperbole to the extreme. The components of this game were as follows: two great defenses, an average offense, a horrible offense, some fieldgoals, and some punts.
Bama proved that, with 40 days to prepare, they can scheme to stop a below average offense. They also proved that, other than the Richardson TD that didn't matter, they couldn't do anything other than make the fieldgoals that they missed in the first game. Defense wins championships, but the better defense in this game, was forced to play the entire time.
