If Oklahoma State wins out, especially against Oklahoma then this whole thing is moot, however in case they don't:

DO NOT HAVE LSU AND ALABAMA PLAY AGAIN FOR THE TITLE.

First of all LSU already won the game between these two.  Should Alabama get another shot?  If they do, and the Crimson Tide wins should they be national champs with both teams having identical records and each team beating the other once?  Of course not!  If the Tide were to win and they were declared co-champs, then the "championship" game doesn't really decide the champion.

 

The biggest reason not to repeat: They both have great defense but really mediocre offenses!  Keep in mind that neither team could score even one touchdown against each other, something Penn State did, Oregon did, even Kentucky did, against those teams.

A great game would be Okla. State's offense against LSU's defense, but if that doesn't happen (due to a loss by Okla. State) then the matchup should still be a great offense against a great defense.  Assuming LSU doesn't fall apart in its remaining games it should be the championship defense team.  The championship offensive team should be either Oklahoma (only if it beats Okla. State) or Stanford.  While Oregon already proved its offense is more potent than Stanford's, most of the same reasons there should be no LSU-Alabama repeat apply to an LSU-Oregon repeat (except that Oregon has a great offense while Alabama doesn't).  The reality is that LSU would probably shut down Stanford but at least Stanford would score a touchdown or two. 

The darkhorse: Houston.  If it wins out, with Case Keenum at the helm, the Cougars should get their shot on the big stage.

Are you just ignorant or stupid? First off a great offense vs a great defense that's just stupid and secondly if Oklahoma st plays lsu in the bcs championship then it will be lsu Oregon all over again.. No one wants to see lsu kick a nonSEC teams rear. No other conference can contend with the hard-hitting and strong d line of the sec along with the power running found at most sec school. It's ridiculous to think Alabama shouldn't play them again when in fact Alabama lost to them and they were number one, not unranked, not a losing record team but the number one team. Who blew out Oregon, west virgina, Arkansas, georgia.. A total of 7 top 25 teams they blew out with the exception of the number 2 team in the nation, alabama, which they won that game in overtime on a field goal!! In conclusion the championship should be with the number one and two team, it shouldn't matter the conference, but strength of schedule along with scores and stats, not the fact that some whiny people don't want to watch an explosive defensive struggle.

Oh and really Houston? Seriously.. Case keenum has been playing teams with high school secondaries. Keenum would be slaughtered by lsu, but I'm sure you would enjoy boise st and Houston playing on "the big stage"

A fine example of the public school system in the southeast.

So clever.. Too bad you don't even know me so you assume I'm in public school in the southeast and you assume I'm stupid because of it. Well the first part is right however I have a full ride to Alabama on academic scholarships along with various academic honors and scoring within the top percentile of the country on the sat and act. But being the ignorant person you are, you have to change the conversation to my upbringing instead of arguing your losing point on the bcs title game..
