Maybe the only good thing to come out of it is hopefully no fear in the future of scheduling a rematch for a bowl game / national championship. I know there were a lot of people that didn't want to watch Bama-LSU again, fearing that the loser the first time would lose again. It would have been ashame if just because of this, OK (State) got #2 slot, they played LSU, and Alabama at most would have ended up #3.
