LSU is:

6-1 in games where both teams are ranked.

5-3 in games as the lesser ranked team or team with worse record.

5-1 in the last 6 games at Alabama during the Golden Era of LSU football, "replay-gate" being the only loss.

11 of 15 games were decided by 10 points or less.

2 of the Tiger's 4 losses in this span were as big underdogs, yet were one score games, with "replay-gate" being only a 9-point margin.

All of this is to say that this Tiger team has as good of a chance to win as any of the previous 15 to make the trip to Alabama. Can't wait for another hard fought game in this series, and LSU being the team to bring an end to the Mulligan Dynasty in Tuscaloosa.

LSU 27-24, with a missed Bama FG for old times' sake.
