re: Though the chances are quite slim at this point, less than 10%...

Unfortunately "body of work" is a factor and LSU put themselves behind the 8 ball after just 1 week into the season. Losing to Auburn was a tough pill to swallow but losing to 'Bama at home w/o scoring a fricking point was the bottom of the barrel. I'll settle for 2nd best team in SEC. That's what we need to shoot for every season. 'Bama is 'Bama as long as Saban and the refs contine working together year in and year out. That B.S. in Tiger stadium was pathetic - from a referee standpoint. Nothing against 'Bama but the zebras missed EVERY call that could have given LSU better opportunities to score - particularly the "4" offsetting penalties when it was obvious 'Bama should have been flagged. Our defense could end up the best in the country. They have been a blast to watch all season! Geaux Tigers!
