Worst Possible Situation...If Arkansas beats LSU?
Posted on 11/8/11 at 1:21 pm

correct me if i'm wrong:
but according to my understanding, the SEC uses BCS standings to eliminate 1 team, and then uses head-to-head to decide between the remaining 2 teams.
so if arky and bama win out, arky would jump ahead of LSU and lsu would likely drop below bama because their loss was later. bama owns the tiebreaker for their head-to-head with arky, and thus gets a birth in the SEC Championship Game, even though LSU beat them.
so the only way arky gets in the SEC Championship Game, even with a win against LSU, is if LSU stays ahead of alabama in the BCS rankings after losing to arkansas.
is this right?

I hope that voters don't drop LSU behind Bama considering we have the same record and won the head-to-head and we have a tougher schedule.

Hard to believe LSU would drop below Alabama with the same record.

...and this is why the BCS is flawed

Voters would drop us behind Bama. Bama blew out Ark

Arkansas can only make it in if LSU and Arkansas are ranked ahead of Alabama.

I just don't see us losing to Arkansas.
Why do we have to do this everyweek. It'll be a week b4 the NC, and people are still gonna be asking what if

Well if LSU loses to Arkansas, what is the chance of LSU being ranked behind both Arkansas and Bama?
Posted on 11/8/11 at 1:26 pm to TheInvisibleMuskrat
LSU will not lose to Ar-Kansas

Just stating the worst possible situation

If we lost this game we could conceivably fall out of the BCS bowl picture all together.

If its a blow out, likely. If its a close game, I don't see it happening..but hey..I'm not getting payed by ESPN like Brad Edwards

You shut your filthy whore mouth!

Bama can move a spot ahead of LSU, no.1 even and still get left out of the SECCG because of H2H.
Posted on 11/8/11 at 1:28 pm to TheInvisibleMuskrat
If we lose to Arky at home (again) with this team then we get what we deserve even if that means watching the gumps in the SECCG.
