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

DoubleDown•118 months

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.

Booo

TigerDean•118 months

Come on its Athlon Magazine, When have they said ANYthing good about LSU ?? If your one of the "ESPN hates LSU" people.. Well Athlon's Really does Hate LSU, that really does exist!!

Placebeaux•118 months

So LSU's 4 year streak of off-season national championships comes to an end.

Mike da Tigah•118 months

These things will always be silly nonsense

TigerFanFromBama•119 months

Why is everybody so butthurt as if that 4 team matchup is impossible?

Datbayoubengal•118 months

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.

EyeTwentyNole•119 months

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

austintexastiger•119 months

what a mindless final 4 - do they even bother to look at how many players Ohio St and Alaqaeda lost

TigerFanFromBama•119 months

Yeah ...like this is the first time they lost a lot players.

Datbayoubengal•118 months

@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.

Hook Em Horns•118 months

datbayoubengal, would you like to wager on this??

El Campo Tiger•119 months

I'd be happy with the Cotton Bowl.

Datbayoubengal•119 months

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?

BayouBengal61•119 months

Of course they have the Gumps winning it all....but hey, atleast we make a New Year's 6 Bowl

MasonTiger•119 months

More lazy analysis from Athlon. What else is new?

Datbayoubengal•119 months

Athlon doesn't even try.

floyd of pink•119 months

Lsu vs Houston? Jesus that would suck

bulldogger•118 months

Just like our last four bowl games

OceanMan•118 months

In the cotton bowl? If we were to miss the playoff that is the kind of matchup you hope for

LOL

Tiger Nation 84•119 months

They went with the sleepers I see. Jeez give me a break, make this stuff interesting. Alabama will not win the NC this year.

LSU fan 246•119 months

Not according to Athlon, dummy

Pianoman•118 months

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.
