Why on Earth would anyone want this? You root for LSU to be top dog period. If LSU wins the SEC, they're in the playoffs. There is absolutely NO reason to want Bama to be undefeated when we play them. Borderline idiotic. Whatever gives LSU the best and easiest route to the playoffs is what every true fan of the school should want. Unless you have Bama and/or Saban loyalties. You don't root for them to continue having great seasons period.

Don't be stupid. The worst thing is to have them be undefeated against us. Those f**kers get into the championship game or playoffs almost every year because they only suffered a second loss in the regular season ONCE since 2007. This has literally been the best chance since 2010 (when they lost a shite ton of talent after the 09 season), for them to suffer multiple regular season defeats. Tennessee was matching them until minutes left last year AT Bama. Ole Miss beat them AT their house last year. Bama has to play LSU, Tennessee, and Ole Miss on the road this year.

Unrealistically, I'd like for them to go winless. Realistically, Ole Miss and Tennessee have the teams to beat them. If they only lose once before playing us, it'll give them an edge, and even more of a reason to give it 110% on the field. Losing twice will demoralize them. Nobody on that player roster and very few coaches on that team even know what it means to be knocked out of the championship race before the Iron Bowl (hasn't happened since Saban's 1st year)

THAT is the time for the Tigers to pounce. THAT is the time when the takedown will occur.
