Mizzou's loss yesterday pretty much guaranteed that LSU will go to a BCS bowl IF we win out.


How so. If we beat Bama and they win the rest of their games, they will go to Sugar. I don't see LSU getting enough love from the BCS to give them a shot. SOOOO many other teams have to lose multiple games for LSU to make the BCS.

Nah, a few other teams have to lose one game.

Stanford to Oregon
Auburn to Alabama
Missouri to Alabama

And even if Auburn beats Alabama, that would help us, as we'd likely be headed to Atlanta for the SECCG.

Clemson losing another would help, but is not absolutely necessary.

Fresno losing a game and staying out of the top 16 or whatever it is would be helpful.

All of these things are likely, and you can't forget the huge boost in the BCS standings LSU would receive if they beat Alabama. They'd jump ahead of teams like Clemson and Missouri despite having one more loss than those teams.

LSU has played more games so far than any top 25 team. Much needed bye week. Health wise they are in great shape; just need to get back to basics in practice and beat Bammer. It can and will be done; just control the LOS and play better D. I know thats asking a lot, but at this point, thats where the game will be won. I dont think Bammer will play smash mouth, i think they will try to exploit Lbs and Sec in pass coverage. If they dont create pressure, LSU will be in for a long evening.

Um no. We win out, we are pretty much a lock for a BCS spot. The SEC is getting 2 as long as there are 2 in the top 14 (which there will be if we win out). Who is the other more viable SEC entrant in that scenario? Or are you stating that you truly believe only 1 SEC team would get in to the BCs games?!?

If we finish out the year beating Bama (probably their only loss) and Jonathan Football, there's no way we aren't the other SEC team in a BCS game.
