Im not so confident. Its tough to beat a good team once. Its much more difficult to beat them a second time. LSU is more likely to go in to this game overly confident haven beaten them at home. Bama is more likely to come in to this game with a chip on their shoulder.

Psychology is huge in sports. I think they have the advantage there for about the first quarter/half. Thats about it. LSU rolls in the second half and wins by 21 with the support of an electric crowd in the dome.

well, according to Bama fans, we didn't really beat them the first time...so this time should be easier.

I'm not worried about this given the way LSU has taken care of business this year. The team knows what is at stake. You could also say LSU will have a chip on their shoulder given they have to beat the same team twice to be called champion.

Although, in general, I place no point value on "chips"

I see it as just the opposite. Alabama players will come in convinced that the win will come their way if they just avoid the 'mistakes' they made in the first game. Saban's coaching style will reinforce this.

LSU players will come in remembering the risks, and hits they took laying it all on the field in a hostile environment to come away victorious, only to be told that they are chumps for doing so, cuz we're going to give them a do-over. LSU will come out with a chip on their shoulders looking to prove that everyone got it wrong.
