To be fair I think the consensus on this board was that BAMA didn't deserve a shot as long as there was any other undefeated BCS-qualifying team out there...its a wacky year and those undefeateds have all fallen, some to unranked lesser opponents, so now it comes down to who has the best resume and best team. Right now Bama looks to be the best 1-loss team, so yeah we should be in the mix and it is fair, like it or not.
LSU fans, apparently along with everyone else, are also assuming they go undefeated, but the season isn't over yet, and the BCS could very well have 2) one-loss teams playing for all the marbles. Still lots of possible scenario's could play out.
