NEW ORLEANS -- To those LSU followers who think they got short-sheeted by the BCS …

To those Oklahoma State honks who insist their team belonged here Monday night …

To those Associated Press voters who said they would keep LSU atop their ballots even if the Tigers lost to Alabama …

To all of them I say, "Are you nuts?"

Alabama removed LSU (and OSU) from the national title equation and also removed all doubt about who's No. 1.

OSU was pretty good, but would have been blown out far worse than LSU.

'Bama played about as complete a game as you can play. You also have to consider that the Tide outplayed LSU in their earlier meeting this season (though they deserved to lose because they couldn't kick field goals).
