Yes, they're the SEC champs, but it wasn't won by a sound beating. Just 21 - 14 over Tennessee. Not very impressive.
Besides, Michigan was denied the #2 slot last year because they had their one shot at #1 against Ohio State. LSU is being granted a third stinking shot at #1. I already knew this, but GAWD THE BCS SUCKS!
Lastly, no written rule that says you must be the Conference Champs. Now, I hate LSU more than ever. (But I can't cheer for Ohio State. Never.)

Not very impressive? They used a backup that did nothing but run the ball all year and hadn't thrown a pass in a month. 464 yards of offense w/ 200+ yards rushing on a fairly good defense is pretty impressive.
No, their isn't a rule saying you have to be your conference champs. There shouldn't have to be. It should be understood by everyone who isn't void of rational thought that if you don't even make your conference championship game you have no business being in the national title game. Shouldn't have lost to Tennessee or South Carolina.
The only team, in my opinion, that had a pretty solid argument for getting in the BCS Championship was Oklahoma....and that was a shaky argument at best. Some will say USC had a claim also.....I'm not buying it. Losing to Stanford at home, not being the least bit dominant in any game except Notre Dame.....not impressive.
