re: 5-way tie atop the West, does LSU win the tie?

We could also have Ole Miss lose to Arkansas instead of Auburn. It is in Fayetteville. We saw last night how effective a power rushing attack can be against that small Ole Miss defensive front. ETA: Plus, this would bump Auburn out of the picture quicker. And we would only have to worry about one game on the final weekend (Egg Bowl), as opposed to two. Assuming Auburn loses at Georgia, of course.

True somewhat (we would still need Alabama to beat Auburn to keep Bama in the tie), but I was looking for the smallest number of huge upsets. Arkie over Ole Miss would be a pretty big one to hope for. UK over MSU would have helped us, too, and even looked possible for a while, but the scenario I posted would be very plausible. At least each part would be. To have them all come out right is still a longshot though.
