Just because I am bored but also because this are fun to look at...

Fun Stat (National Ranking)

Offense
Points per Game - 29.9 (29th)
Rushes per Game - 47.5 (14th)
Rushing Yds per Game - 212.1 (32nd)
Yards per Pass - 8.3 (24th)
Time of Possession (% of Game) - 55.24% (12th)

Defense
Points per Game - 17.9 (8th)
Yards per Game - 332.1 (16th)
3rd Down Conv. - 29.66% (7th)
Yards per Pass - 5.5 (5th)
Passing Yards per Game - 158.8 (2nd)
Completion Pct - 51.52% (9th)
Time of Possession (% of Game) - 44.76% (12th)

Fun Facts

- LSU is now 2-0 after a loss this season.
- Ole Miss came into last weekend's game giving up 97.14 Yards Rushing per Game. They had given up 146 yards rushing in the previous 4 games too. LSU had 264.


My Favorite Fact of All....

If LSU beats Alabama, they move ahead of them in the SEC West. Auburn heads to Ole Miss next weekend and could easily lose dropping to 3-2 and tied with LSU. Mississippi State has Alabama and Ole Miss on the road (2 losses) and could easily finish 5-3 in the SEC. (Arky can beat them). Ole Miss losses to Arkansas too. Arky hits a run to finish the season. Auburn, fyi, has to play Alabama and UGA on top of Ole Miss, they might end up losing all three.

Final SEC West Standings

LSU - 6-2
Alabama - 6-2
Ole Miss - 6-2
Mississippi State - 5-3
Auburn - 4-4
Arkansas - 3-5
Texas A&M - 2-6

Having beaten both Alabama and Ole Miss, clearly LSU.

It is. In addition to losing to Bama and Ole Miss, MSU would have to lose to either Arkansas or Vanderbilt at home to drop to 5-3. A 4-way tie is more realistic, and LSU can still win that.

Our best shot would be this happening

Auburn beats ole miss loses to uga and bama
Ole miss loses to auburn beats state
Bama loses to lsu beats state and auburn
Miss st loses to ole miss and bama
Lsu wins out

That would leave
Lsu 6 and 2 winning the tie breakers to go to atlanta

No it wouldn't. LSU would win on head to head vs. both teams.

I have been telling everyone basically this same scenario. The teams in the west ahead of us have a lot of tough games. If we win out we have a chance to get into sec championship. Too bad the bcs isn't still around. The tiebreaker before would be the highest ranked bcs team. And with our two losses coming earlier then everybody else that would most likely make us the highest ranked bcs team.

Nice work put into that

I just don't see MSU losing 3 although most of the SECW's schedules are loaded on the back end with great teams so there will certainly be some position changes soon.

Why? When a team plays Well Above the odds, anything can happen to start an epic collapse.

Case in point, Alabama should have lost to Arkansas. NO ONE thought that could happen and it should have but Arkansas went full retard and blew it.

I love your optimism!!! And it is really a possibility...but the arky game is one I am worried about...we beat da gumps at home (very good chance), but then we go to arky all full of ourselves (as has happened in the past) and here comes arky playing their best game of the year against LSU...something about dem hogs, I don't like going up there when we have a bunch on the line...kind of like what we just did and always seem to do to the om weebil bears when they come to TS...

If LSU beats Bama,and I think LSU has a good shot, I'll start paying attention to this stuff. The scenarios will be a lot simpler then as well, so until then I will not hurt my brain.
