Did a search but couldn't find anything. If the Saints don't get the 1st round bye and are the 3rd seed in the playoffs, then they will host a playoff game either that Saturday or Sunday before the BCSNC. That would be one crazy arse weekend in NOLA and an one for the record book for LA football!!!!

Bama vs LSU, Saints vs Falcons would be epic.

According to the playoff schedule I saw somewhere the NFC 3 seed will host it's game on Sunday afternoon. I don't know if they would be willing to change it to Saturday or not.

For the 7th and 8th, we know that the NFL will alternate which conference starts play each day, but we don’t have a guarantee on which conference will play first on the January 7th, etc. As more information becomes available the article will be revised. If you are making travel plans, please assume the most conservative approach to booking your flight(s) until we know the final game times!

While a round one bye would be nice for the Super Bowl run...Im all about an amazing weekend in Nola...wow, it would be nuts!

I'd definitely wear my LSU gear to the saints game too

That would be great watching the TIgers and the Saints play in the dome on back to back days

Can you imagine the craziness that would ensue if it was back to back days and we win both games. I may not make it out of there alive.

They would HAVE to give them the Saturday game, that's too much to do in a day to prepare for the BCS game...

Wear a Saints jersey and LSU cap to the Saints game, and then an LSU jersey and Saints cap to the NC game.

This.

The 9ers have a game against Pittsburgh this week. Then they have two against division rivals Seattle and St. Louis, which they will drop at least one of, because good is dumb.

I agree that the 49ers are probably going to drop 1 or 2 more and we will be the 2 seed, but just imagining that weekend made me go from 6 to midnight

I didn't realize it, but I dropped a Spaceballs reference in Post 500. Thankfully it didn't go to waste.
