Alabama's A.J. McCarron and LSU's Tyrann Mathieu took to battling on twitter this week.
As if the LSU-Alabama college football rivalry needed any more fuel.

McCarron and LSU's Heisman finalist Tyrann Mathieu not only went head-to-head twice last year on the field, with McCarron getting the last laugh, but the two stars have moved their duel to cyberspace.

BCS commissioners are talking about a playoff.
