It's probably not true since Edwards said it but, I just listened to the SVP (who I do like) podcast and they said even if ARK wins they don't go to BCS because of the head-to-head tie breaker with ALA. Hey hogs, you like apples?

Funny because even if we lose to Arkansas I don't think we should even move down from #1 since we beat Bama.

But of course it all depends when you lose,...which is dumb

Arky irrelevant as far as BCS title game goes, but IF they win, AND THEY WON"T, it could send LSU all the way down to the Cotton Bowl or Cap 1.

Bama - Ship
Arky - Sugar
LSU - fricked

BUT IT AINT HAPPENING!

What if Arky beats LSU, then Bama loses to UGA in the championship?

LSU/Arky for it all, or does Okie State sneak in and play Arkansas? Seems like a long shot

Not according to what I just heard. They say we are in the BCS if we win one of the next two. But I'm with you, we are winning both so its all just booty chatter

ARKY is the one who really got screwed.....at least to this point.

They win the same week bama loses at home....bama drops only one spot and ARKY drops one spot....thats screwed.


Also i cant help believe that if LSU lost to bama 9-6 in OT LSU would be out of it from that point forward

I think we would be in the same situation as Bama...win and we're in. The only difference is that we wouldn't be as concerned about OSU sneaking ahead of us even if we do win.

People act like LSU gets screwed by the BCS, but we have been the team helped most over the years.

And what's this talk about OSU jumping us if we beat LSU? WTF?

If Arky wins, there is no way they go to the SECCG. Period.

It would be 3 way tie-breaker and it would go down to head to head between LSU and Alabama, or Arky and Alabama(no way they jump Bama).
Either way, Hogs stay home Dec. 3.

I get that, even though I think it's ludicrous that no one wants to even consider dropping Bama to 3rd instead of LSU or keeping Arkansas there.

What I'm not getting is how is the 3rd ranked, 10-1 team being written off for the BCSNC already? I know we're underdogs against LSU, but even when people assume that Arkansas wins, they say we have no shot. It makes no sense. What really irritates me is those who are writing off Arkansas, who lost at Bama, and at the same time pimping Oklahoma State, who lost to unranked Iowa State.

There are only two possible scenarios that put Arkansas in the BCS NC game:

1. Arkansas beats LSU and Alabama loses to Auburn
2. Arkansas destroys LSU to such an extent that they get almost all of the #1 votes in the human polls (not. gonna. happen.)

coulda woulda shoulda. I wish people wouldn't worry about these possible scenarios until after something definitive happens. I promise you once we win Friday not a soul will be talking about ANY of this.

If Bama loses to UGA and has two losses, and OU beats Ok State, and Va Tech loses one, you may see a Ark/LSU rematch...too much football to be played.

I don't even know if it's possible for anyone other than LSU to play in the SECCG from the west at this point. Unless Arkansas absolutely destroys LSU the BCS rankings would most likely look like this after an LSU loss on Friday:

1. Bama
2. LSU
3. Arky

Which would put LSU in the SECCG due to the head to head win over Bama.
