Bowl Predictions 2012: Why LSU-Alabama Rematch Will Be Exactly Like the 1st Game

As it stands today, LSU will be facing Alabama for the national championship. The two teams faced off already this season with LSU coming away with a 9-6 win in overtime.

There really should be no reason why the outcome will be any different for the rematch.

The biggest thing to consider is that the first game was played in Tuscaloosa in front of over 100,000 screaming Alabama fans. If that is not going to rattle a team, nothing will.

The Tigers have come out expecting to win every game on their schedule and they have done just that this season. With the national championship on the line, there will be no doubt that the team will be focused and ready for Alabama’s best shot for a second time.

The other thing to remember is Les Miles’ record in bowl games. During his time in Baton Rouge he has only lost one bowl game and that was in the 2009 Capital One Bowl which had the worst field conditions of any game in recent history.

The game between these two schools was certainly close the last time they played but should they meet in the national title, LSU will once again be victorious.
