I will gladly pull for TAMU and Aubie knowing this could happen. Never say never (2007).

quote:

The SEC race could come to close this weekend.

Wins by Alabama (9-0, 6-0 SEC) and Georgia (8-1, 6-1) on Saturday, and both will be headed to Atlanta for the SEC championship game. If Alabama tops Texas A&M (7-2, 4-2) this weekend in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the Crimson Tide will take the West because the worst it can do is lose one conference game. No other SEC West team has less than two losses in SEC play.

Now, if Alabama were to lose, things will get very interesting. It wouldn't take away the Tide's hope for the SEC West because Alabama would clinch the division next week with a win over Auburn, but if Alabama turned around and lost to the Tigers on Nov. 24, the SEC would be lost for the Tide if LSU and Texas A&M were to win out. That means A&M would have to beat Missouri at the end of the regular season and LSU would have to beat Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Arkansas.

If it came down to a three-team tie, Alabama would be eliminated because it would be the only one of the three teams with two losses within the division. Now, you're down to LSU and Texas A&M, and since LSU beat the Aggies head-to-head, the Tigers would be heading to Atlanta.

Texas A&M can only make it to Atlanta if it beats Alabama and Missouri, and the Tide loses to Auburn. It then needs LSU to drop at least one of its last three SEC games.

Things are much simpler in the East. If Georgia loses to Auburn this weekend, Florida (8-1, 7-1) takes the division because the Gators finished conference play with just one SEC loss, while the Bulldogs would have two.

Who would have thought that struggling Auburn could totally change the SEC race?

Granted, the odds aubie takes down bama are more than slim.... Keep an open mind, all I'm sayin.

Enjoy your hump day.

I don't need any extra reason to pull against Alabama other than because they are Alabama.

Hate to say it but I'm pulling for Bama now. If they lose one, you want to see an SEC team out of the big game for the first time in 7 years?

Same, I'd like to see the SEC keep its streak alive thus keeping the rest of college football pissed at our conference.

Auburn has ZERO shot at beating Bama. If LSU has any chance of getting to ATLEAST the Sugar Bowl, we need Bama to win out. NC run is over guys, get over it.

You could put together an A&M+AU all-star team and they still won't beat Bama.

Come on, man.

I still don't get this shite. The Bama game is becoming our biggest rivalry each year with whats at stake and they just beat us with 51 seconds on the clock in our stadium on that special night to knock us out of contention for the SEC Championship and the NCG and people still want them to win. WTF.

What the hell does it do for LSU to have "the SEC win another championship."

In 2007 we needed WVU and Missouri to both lay a single egg, which I was quite confident they could do.

Not even holding out hope of Alabama laying 2. Unless, of course they lose this weekend and McCarron goes down or some unseen devastating circumstance in which case I'll be on the first flight to AL to pull for the Tigers!

First off this is incorrect.

Second, that's not what you said anyway. You said your reason was that you wanted them to win out just so that an SEC team would be in the National Championship game.
