A rematch would be completely unfair to LSU. Assuming they both win out, because they won this game LSU now has to play a conference title game. Bama doesn't. If there was a rematch, it can only occur if both Ok St and Stanford lose, very real possibilities, so the issue of whether one beaten Bama should be there over unbeaten Ok St or Stanford would be moot. Now, assuming Bama did make its way back to #2. That would mean LSU would be forced to beat Bama TWICE and win the conference title game while Bama would need only to SPLIT with LSU after losing at home. Can you imagine the screaming from LSU fans if Bama won 10-7 rematch on a neutral field and won the title after you beat them at their place? Even worse would be Oregon getting a rematch, a scenario not impossible to see.
