Co-Champs.
Like LSU and USC last time.
If the SEC wants an outright championship, it needs to stop ducking the strong teams from other conferences that deserve the other slot on the National Championship game.
I'm sure I won't be the only one taking this stance.
Who would you like them to schedule. LSU played Oregon and West Virginia, Alabama played Penn state, Arkansas played Texas A&M, Auburn played Clemson, Georgia played Boise state and Georgia Tech. The team that you claim should be the National Champion played Arizona.
The SEC didn't write the rules to the BCS. As a matter of fact. It was the ACC and SEC that wanted a plus 1 playoff system and no other conference would support it.

RE: Fiesta Bowl
Not schedule, just stop the electioneering by the conference administrations to get the more favorable matchup in the title game.
LSU should have to prove its worth against the champion of the best conference this season (no, it wasn't the SEC). Think what you want, but the Big 12 was the best conference top-to-bottom this year and its champion deserves a shot at the title.
Alabama is overrated. And LSU is more than happy to play into that so they can spank them and walk to the title.
Those aren't championship qualities. LSU should want to play OK State.

RE: Fiesta Bowl
Howl, IMO the BCS matching Alabama and LSU in a rematch was the final blow for the BCS...

I guess I just don't have my tinfoil hat on. Why should LSU have to prove anything? They beat Oregon. Which was the Rose bowl and PAC12 champion. They beat West Virginia which was the Orange bowl and Big East champion. Oklahoma state didn't play anyone of worth in their OOC schedule and lost to an unranked team. Alabama loss came at the hands of the #2 team in the country and in overtime. See any difference.
I don't expect to change your opinion of the SEC. Because you are a hater and will just make up another conspiracy to make yourself feel better.

Bit, I hope and pray that you are right on this.

You don't need a tin foil hat when the signals are coming from your backyard.
You're absolutely right in that you won't change my opinion and I'm not asking you to, nor am I trying to change yours.
Just letting it be known that your little conference isn't fooling anybody and your actions are more than transparent, as evidenced by the system that y'all have been gaming for so long being done away with by your very "AQ" bed-mates.
Enjoy your half of the National Championship.
