Yeah, all the talk leading in to that game was that a close loss by LSU wouldn't knock them out of the hunt.
All things being equal, LSU still would have had the toughest schedule in the country, and the "best" loss.
Who knows, maybe losing would have been better. Maybe then they would have been the ones with a new game plan and fire for the rematch, and Alabama would have been content and uninspired.

I think this is 100% not true no matter what the media was spouting at the time.
The pollsters voted SABAN into a Rematch. Miles would never have gotten the benefit of the doubt, especially if we didn't have the added win over Georgia to complete our resume.
No win over Bama or Georgia means OSU's win over Oklahoma while we're sitting at home bumps them.ahead of us, which is what absolutely should have happened to begin with.
We would have had our shot and lost. OSU would have deserved it and gotten it imo.

Ultimately, winning that Bama game was fools gold, but we had no way of knowing it at the time. That said, I would never trade in a Bama win for a Bama loss. It's one of the few reasons they still fear us.
