BCS Bowl Predictions: Why an All-SEC BCS Title Game Doesn't Make Sense

The BCS National Championship Game appears to be in jeopardy of hosting Alabama and LSU, a matchup that does not make sense for college football. If these two teams do play it will expose the flawed system that is the BCS.

We all remember that the LSU Tigers beat the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa on November 5. If LSU can beat Alabama at home, there is no need for the two to play at a neutral site; we know that LSU would win.

While the game on November 5 was a great one in terms of defense, there is no need for a sequel. LSU needs to face a new opponent they have not beaten before.

The most logical opponents for LSU is Oklahoma State, if they beat the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.

Oklahoma State boasts arguably the best passing attack in the nation and possibly the best offense. They have scored at least 59 points in five games this season and average 49.8 per game. They also have a solid defense that allows only 27.3 points per game, giving them an average margin of victory of 22.5 points.

Instead of another defensive battle that LSU has proved they can win, we must now see a matchup that pits LSU's stingy defense against Oklahoma State's prolific offense.

Even if Oklahoma State loses, LSU cannot play Alabama, whom they have beaten on the road, or Arkansas, whom they beat by 24 at home. We cannot have a matchup that we have already seen.

If Oklahoma State loses, LSU should play Stanford, Virginia Tech, or even Oklahoma.

If LSU plays a team they have already beaten, ratings will plummet, and the flaw in the BCS system of matching the same teams twice will be exposed.

If LSU plays one of the SEC teams they have already beaten (Arkansas and Alabama), then interest in the national championship game will be low.

Half of college football fans want to see high-scoring games, and LSU and Alabama did not provide that, so having them play again takes away a huge portion of viewers.

Pitting two SEC teams in the BCS title game is not a smart move. Period.
