re: Could LSU finally benefit from the BAMA bias?

Don't think we necessarily get disrespected. Just feel that BAMA will always get the benefit of the doubt, more so than anyone else. They are this era's Miami/USC. But I think if we beat them, we'll be in a position to benefit from any bias in their favor. They never drop far when they lose and lazy people love to edge them back up in the polls. But, if we don't lose, they just can't be edged ahead of us.

Agreed. What's going to piss me off is if we finish with the same record as both Ole Miss and Bama, yet we are still ranked lower. We really did get screwed in these initial playoff rankings. I understand that they are looking at the whole body of work, but young teams get better through the course of the season. This young LSU team is a PRIME example. We may even need to beat Bama decisively to get the respect we deserve. I hope that we win by at least 10 points. I believe that would be enough to turn some heads. Hopefully the playoff committee felt a little pressure from the media as well.
