After weeks of anticipation, the 2011 BCS National Title Game will indeed be a rematch between the No. 1 LSU Tigers and the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite an impressive 44-10 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, the Oklahoma St. Cowboys were only able to narrowly close the gap but not overtake the Tide.
Stanford received an automatic berth as an at-large for finishing at No. 4. No. 5 Oregon gets the Rose Bowl for winning the Pac-12 Championship Game. The Ducks will face No. 10 Wisconsin, the winners of the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game.
