re: A strange situation could occur at the Iron bowl this year

It would be intriguing on the playoff front if that were to happen. I really wanted A&M to beat Bama for this reason; A&M doesn't have the same amount of love nationally and they would not be as compelled to place a one loss A&M team ahead of an SEC Champ LSU as they would a one loss Bama team. That said, the narrative may (and should) be that the LSU team under O is a different team than the one under Miles. If their edict is to pick THE BEST teams, then LSU should be in under that scenario.
