Its a justified final four. Does that mean it will happen? We will have to wait and see.

So much crying in the comments. Bama fans enjoy your tears. This is a reasonable final 4. It may or may not happen but what has LSU done to warrant being selected in the final 4? Cause you have LF? Yea, he's done amazing against top talent Ds. Pfft.

Two ACC teams, Ohio State with nobody back but their QB, and insert Bama. I highly doubt more than one of those teams even makes it.

We (FSU) are way overrated. Rick Trickett, Jimbo's 8 play offense, Charles Kelly's 3 play defense, and no once a decade QB...

@TigerFan - I won't say anything about Afbamastan, but Ohio State is losing a ridiculous amount of talent and it would be pure luck if they finish the regular season with less than 2 losses.

When was the last time the loser of the SEC title game go to the Sugar Bowl? If Bama were to beat Tennessee, LSU would go to the Sugar Bowl. Houston would be playing Tennessee. I mean shite didn't anyone just see a 9-3 Ole freaking Miss team go last year over 10-3 Florida?

Wow....brand new QB at Bama and they've got them winning it all again. Guess they surmise that their defense will be great and Nick & Co. will play it safe and well enough on offense to win it again. Heck, why don't we just give them championships for the next 5 years now and be done with it.
