Yeah, all the talk leading in to that game was that a close loss by LSU wouldn't knock them out of the hunt.

no i specifically remember ESPN pre game stuff saying that a loss wouldn't have knocked LSU out because they were on the road. but it could hurt bama being at home.


even so, i don't think we make the NC if we lose. they (media/talking heads) would talk us out of the game no matter our case.

What, you didn't like the way I phrased it?

So despite the media/talking heads saying before the game that LSU would still be okay if they lost, they would have changed their minds if LSU had lost?

The media wanted a rematch before the game was even played. I don't know why, but they did. If LSU had lost 9-6 in over time on the road to the #2 team in the country, there's no logical reason to think the narrative would change.
