re: Sugar Bowl

It comes down to where the committee ranks out Auburn and LSU. Lets looks at both of them.

Record: Tie (LSU lost a cupake game due to natural disaster. Wont go against them)

Losses: LSU (Wisconsin, Auburn, Bama, Florida) Total Margin 23 points Auburn (Clemson, A&M, UGA, Bama) Total Margin 44 points This should go to LSU

Strength of Schedule LSU 5 Auburn 18 Goes to LSU

Head to Head: Auburn won so it goes to Auburn. Hopefully the committee won't look just at this and will evaluate the big picture.

Common Opponents:
Alabama: LSU (0-10) Auburn (12-30) LSU - held them scoreless over three quarters.
A&M: LSU (54-39) Auburn (16-29) LSU won and handled A&M. LSU again
Arkansas LSU (38-10) Auburn (56-3) Goes to Auburn
Miss St. LSU (23-20) Auburn (38-14) Again to Auburn.
OLE Miss (38-21) Auburn (40-29) Close, but give it to LSU. They won by more and the score was closer than the game.
Note* With common opponents, they both either won or loss except for
with A&M. LSU beat A&M, A&M beat Auburn, Auburn beat LSU

Coaching change factor? LSU's loss to auburn came at the beginning of the season and during the Miles tenure. This should help LSU when the committee is making the decision.

IMO, If the committee does what it is supposed to, then we are in.
