re: If LSU wins out (reg season).......

a) Alabama wouldn't have a worse resume. b) It's really irrelevant. Either you have a good enough resume to get in, or you don't. It has nothing to do with how many teams each conference gets in. We're not just fighting against Alabama or Mississippi State, we're fighting against every bubble team from all of the conferences in the country. If Alabama and State struggle down the stretch, that helps LSU. Not necessarily because they are in the SEC (although that would help ensure us of a bye), but because that just eliminates two bubble teams from the entire country.

But if you really want me to pick one of your options, I'd absolutely say Alabama would get in over us, assuming we both finish the season pretty strong. Their current RPI is 36. Ours is 67. That makes much bigger of a difference than us finishing one game better than them in conference and beating them 2 out of 3. And I don't think we can make up too much of that gap between now and the end of the season by beating four mediocre to bad SEC teams.
