It's a long shot, but we will find out this weekend what Arky and Bama are really made of. How does this change things for the Tigers if Arky pulls off the upset?

Tigers will be the solid #2 team in both polls. Do we view our games against those 2 teams any differently if that happens? Most people are agreeing right now that LSU vs Bama is for the NC. Does Arky replace Bama if that happens? Can we then lose to Bama and beat Arky then still get in the NC game, assuming all 3 teams all other games?
Just thinking about the possibilities here. I personally would like to go into the Bama game with both teams being undefeated and win, then mop the floor with Arky. Neither is going to be easy though.

Doesn't mean a thing.

If LSU wins, they play for the BCS. Doesn't matter what anybody else does.

And since I hate Bama with a passion, I'm all for the Hogs Sat night.

I doubt the Piggies will be ready for the toilet paper, tide, and the plunger.

I don't think it's as much of a long shot as people are making it out to be.

I fully expect a Tiger win and a Bama loss. We should go to #1. By Nov it will be LSU #1 playing Bama #7.

It is easy to lose focus on what our task is.

I agree. I always find myself pulling against Bama, until LSU beats them, then I want them to win out and finish strong. Arky is fully capable of beating them, however, and if they do, LSU fans' fear will turn away from Bama and focus squarely on the hawgs.

It's weird how hate is - even though we beat Bama last year and lost to Arky, I'm clearly for Arky in this game, as well as all of the rest of Bama's opponents (although, I will admit that my heart won't be in backing Auburn in the Iron Bowl - it will be insincere support on my part - ditto for Ole Miss versus Bama).

#31 Always


I agree. A 12 point favorite. LSU is only a 6 point favorite (or whatever it is now) over the broke back mountaineers. So according to Vegas, Bama has a better chance of beating the piggies than LSU has of beating the eers. But then again- you never know...

I'll say this, an Arky win would put a little less importance (though it will still be very important) on the LSU/Bama game, and increase the importance of the LSU/Arky game. I would like that to be the case since Arky is a home game and Bama is away.

But either way, let's just play it safe and win both.
