Arky or Bama?

As much as I hate Bama, I think I will be pulling for them Saturday, and here is why....

We get them at home, and if we beat them, we have, in effect, taken a 2 game lead in the West over arguably the best team.

Second, Arky may jump up and beat Bama, but I think they will still lose at some point in the SEC, and they may even beat us.

Basically, I think LSU and Bama are both going to go 7-1 in the SEC, and I think we beat Bama at home, but lose to Arky. That means we need Arky to lose two games in the SEC, which I think they will, in order to get the head to head tie breaker over Bama and go to Atlanta.

I know that is a hypothetical and a stretch, but its what I think will transpire, so for this Saturday, I am pulling for the Tide. What do you all think?

I'd say Bama. We know how good they are, no surpises there. Arky wins you really need to worry about both Bama and Arky....just my 2 nickles.

I have never, and will never, cheer for Bama.


ETA: I will, however, root against Arky.

I hate Bama more thany any other team in the SEC. But I really want them to kill Ark.

Nothing would make me happier that to see the Bama win streak end emphatically in Baton Rouge.

Arkansas. I NEVER pull for Bama. I've on rare occassion cheered against Bama's opposition when it benefitted LSU (a la 2001 Gumps vs Auburn).

You should pull for the team that you think will lose more games by the end of the year. To me, that's Arky right now, so I hope they win. Bama is a bigger threat to win the west, so they need as many SEC West losses as they can get until further notice. It's all about getting to Atlanta in December.

I say if you are an LSU fan, you really don't need to worry about it one way or the other.

Not sure it matters, if it plays out like i think it will we will have to beat both of them head to head.

Arky

The only way we should ever pull for Bama is if the Bama win will for absolute certain put LSU in the SECCG.

I'm not cheering for anyone. We have to play both.

Best scenario would be that whoever wins has to forfeit the win due to some arcane (or not so arcane) NCAA violation.

Nah, not really. That would benefit our chances most but I'd rather us beat them both when we play them.

We want it to go into 10 overtimes, both teams get completely exhausted and never recover their legs for the rest of the season.

The 2 reasons I watch football on saturday:

1. Watch the Tigers win.

2. Make sure I'm watching when Bama eventually loses.

Bama, I hate having the potential of going into the last week of SEC play not knowing if we're going to ATL or not.
