2012 Allstate BCS National Championship Game

The 2012 Allstate BCS National Championship was the supreme all-SEC matchup between the top two teams in the nation. Going head to head, No. 1 LSU took on No. 2 Alabama. The pre-game hype grew because two college football powerhouses were meeting for the second time in the 2011-2012 season. Most fans were apprehensive about another knock down drag out defensive battle, similar to the regular season match up, which LSU won with a hand full of field goals on Nov 5, the final score being 9-6. At the onset, it looked like this game was going to have a similar feel. The defenses dominated the first half, with Alabama holding the Tigers to only six yards of offense and two punts with two possessions. The Tigers' defense was equally impressive however and only gave up 36 yards before Alabama finally knocked in a field goal off the foot of Jeremy Shelley from the 23 yard line. The final score, 21-0, was the first shutout in BCS history, leaving Coach Nick Saban with a third National Championship under his belt, and the Crimson Tide in the top spot in the final Associated Press poll for the eighth time, tying Notre Dame for number of seasons at the top. Alabama's win in the 2012 Allstate BCS National Championship is the sixth consecutive BCS Championship won by a Southeastern Conference team and the eighth title overall, since the Bowl Championship Series was formed.
