Who should LSU play in title game?

Thanks to No. 1 LSU’s thumping of No. 3 Arkansas and No. 2 Alabama’s thrashing of Auburn in the Iron Bowl, the BCS title game, a rematch of the Tigers-Tide defensive is all but set regardless of what takes place next weekend.

While that rematch, which could pit a team that didn’t win its conference versus a team that didn’t win its conference or its division, in New Orleans Jan. 9 will likely happen, we’re going to ask if it should happen. If LSU drops Georgia in the SEC championship game to remain No. 1 in the BCS rankings, which team should it face in the title game? Should it be the Tide, which already got its shot at the Bayou Bengals, on its home turf no less, and came away with its only loss of the season?

What about other one-loss teams like No. 4 Stanford, No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Virginia Tech and No. 7 Boise State? Do they deserve the opportunity to do something the Tide couldn’t? Then there’s No. 8 Houston, which along with LSU is the only 12-0 team in the country; if they can defeat Southern Miss in the Conference USA championship game next Saturday afternoon, should they get a crack at the Tigers?
