Now they're calling for a rematch with LSU for the national championship. Ok st would have to lose first, and we still have to beat a tough Arkansas (a late season upset brewing every season for us) and win our SEC championship against Georgia who has been coming on strong of late. I don't see anything in the bag yet. But...we're 10-0 for the first time since 1958 when we won our first national championship!

^^^Personally, I'm not for it. I'd rather win a bowl at this point than go to another national championship and stand a good chance of losing.

I love my team, but we have a young defensive line (although they're coming together fast) and while I know we committed a lot of turnovers in that game, and I think we would probably be better the second time around, I'm realistic about us, and I don't think we're ready for another national title game.

I'd prefer the Rose Bowl. I think we've got a good chance of winning that one this year. Plus, I'm not a fan of seeing the same game twice and I absolutely would NOT want to play it in New Orleans.

I think LSU and Ok. St would be a great game (if its Alabama and LSU I will have to shoot myself because that was four quarters of...yeah, just no. Unless someone is a defense afficianado.) but Ok. St. has to get past Oklahoma first which will be their biggest test.

Now NEXT year - I'd love for us to go back to the Natty.

I agree. I have no desire to see a rematch of that horrendous Alabama game. Defensive battles are brutal and boring. I'm lucky I have fingers left after the nail biting I did for that one.
