3. If Texas wins, it's no threat to recruiting or our prestige vis a vis a traditional rival, but it will only stoke the flames of this year's topic du jour--the SEC is highly overrated. Even though we're 5-0 in NCG and 12-5 in BCS bowls (thanks Bama, for losing both of yours), people still have a "want" to brand the conference as overrated. If Texas beats two of our best teams, it only cheapens their wins over us, and our position. Read the blogs on espn. They all give LSU no respect for doing reasonably well in an "overrated" conference. F*** that

Many good points, but I really don't think it hurts the conference too much. We may move from a 10 to a 9 but are still lightyears ahead of anyone else. Also, so long as a 0 or 1 loss Champion team is essentially guaranteed the BCSNGC that's all that confernce affiliation is good for and I think we will have that next year regarless of whether Bama or Florida win.
