Look, I'm going to be as honest as I can, even with myself.

This team, right now, with the present offensive staff and QB, along with the starting safeties( who are usually QB's on defense, i.e. Hunt and Steltz) will be better served to play aTm.

A win at a place you are going to open the next season against a team in the NC game, is better than the challenge of a better team elsewhere.

This LSU team is most probably going to play any opponent close, and I would rather come away with the win versus a lesser opponent than take my chances with our passing game and the recent play of our safeties against a stronger opponent.

I'm not scared, just practical. We're a 10-2 team with a chance at eleven wins, that played like an 8-4 team at best.

I agree, but I think Michigan State is crap. They needed a fake field goal to beat a shite Notre Dame squad at home.

That makes sense. A better shot at an 11-win season sounds good to me, too. BUT, if we played State, it would be two top-10 teams and, as a result, we would get a lot more coverage/press for the game--especially if we won. So I dunno...
