If Aubie beats Georgia gotta pull for them to beat Bama. If they somhow lose to Georgia gotta pull for Bama to beat Aubie. None of which matters if the Tigers dont win out.

Rose would rather an Wisconsin-LSU lineup or Wisconsin-Nebraska


The Rose bowl would rather Wisky/OSU vs. Stanford, but as of now, the Rose bowl is obliged to take the higher ranked team out of Boise and TCU if they lose Oregon. It sucks, but its the way it works.

Sugar is sitting pretty right now. They will have back to back choices and the full slate of at-large teams as well as AQs (Big East Champion). Basically Sugar Bowl can put in whatever two teams it wanted. LSU is such an obvious choice. I think they pass on Boise myself, however. Boise/Nebraska in the Fiesta would be a better fit for Boise anyways. However, there is a pretty good chance that undefeated Boise could get passed on by ALL BCS bowls, and end up in the Humanitarian bowl.

Wisconsin fans are awesome. It's a shame LSU and Wisky can't get together in a big game. If AU doesn't make the NC game but wins the SEC, LSU could end up in the Rose v. Wisconsin...possible?

LSU vs Boise State: Georgia vs Hawaii comes to mind


I don't think so. Boise State has legitimate hopes of going to the champ game.

Beating LSU in the dome would be huge for BSU. They will be pumped. So will we. I hope this happens.

I kind of like that matchup for LSU.
I think Ridley and Jefferson could run on Boise.
Especially after getting bruised for 3 quarters by the human bowling ball of power.

Ill also take our corners vs. Boise's WR all day.

They dont roll into Nola and beat LSU IMO.


Still need to take care of buisness though, Im not getting too amped up until it actually happens.

Boise has a legit defense. Hawaii was a one sided team. I think it would be a 24-10 game. Boise would not be ready for press coverage.

ESPN would say we had the advantage of a home game in new orleans and therefore not count it against boise at all

Pre-Katrina, the NOLA Hotel association didn't want LSU in the Sugar because they would drive in for the game then leave. Has this changed? If not? why would they pick LSU. If Aubbie is in the NC then LSU is an At large pick with no conference affiliation. Sugar is just obligated to take the conference champion. Taking UF or Bama is different than taking LSU.

Boise State has not played SEC football before. Hawaii got beat up physically in the sugar and Boise would get the same beatin. Just comparing apples to apples here.

I want to see it too. But it is a lose/lose game unfortunately.


This. The only way anything good could come from it would be crickets chirping around ESPN if we donkey stomped them by thirty.

I think this LSU defense would kill Boise


Especially when Miles and Chavis have several weeks to scheme. It would be like the 2008 Georgia Tech game.

no you are not, you are exposing your igornace. Hawaii had many close games against a weak schedule, Boise is destroying everyone. Funny that you ignore Utah-Bama which was more recent than Hawaii-UGA. Hawaii was a fraud, Boise is not. They may not be able to run the table on LSU's schedule, but they can win 1 game.

I really don't want to see another LSU-tOSU matchup. Let's play someone else.

What's their O line like? It would really come down to that. If we can sack Moore rushing 4 then I think it would be another SEC route.
