Alabama-LSU: Who Will Win?

The day has arrived for the BCS title game -- and the controversial rematch. Also, discussions about the future of the BCS are expected.

The day many SEC football fans have been waiting for has arrived. Alabama and LSU will tangle -- again -- Monday night in the Superdome in New Orleans to determine the Bowl Championship Series champion. It's controversial for several reasons. One, LSU already has beaten Alabama once this season, during the regular season in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Thus, the Crimson Tide could win the national title game despite not winning their own conference. And Oklahoma State got nosed out of the title game despite winning the Big 12. Also, the BCS itself is the subject of much criticism.

An NFL Player Makes the Cut in Suwanee
